@james, ill pm you mate as we cant discuss seeds, i got a msg off the mods saying we cant request or offer seeds in the forum, so ill pm you, a big hello to both you and yarrow, enjoy your sleep, or maybe your awake again now, ill pm you shortly just hitting a few journals first as im days behind
thanks for the comments everyone, not sure on the laws with autos and none autos, but autos are 100% auto so all seeds are auto, so the plant i crossed with was 100% auto even though its not a ruderalis, but its still an auto, i was told the seeds would be 1/4 auto so this is not something i have read or reserached much but will do now im back home as been real busy the last few days so not been on the net as much, i was told that only 1/4 of the seeds will be auto but im getting more than 1/4 been auto, but ill see how they go and will grow more seeds to see whats going on,
got some more great news, this monster ww x skunk#1 is female, its getting huge and growing 3 times quicker than any of my other plants, might even have to put it to flower a lot earlier due to its size, the dwc auto is also growing well and not showing signs of sex yet but is fem seeds so looks like it should be a pretty decent yield,
ill try and get some pics up tomorrow as for some reason my plants seem to be growing like crazy now, maybe the high summer temps slowed growth down but their all growing well now,
@Light Addict, go for it mate, take clones from both if i find a nice strain then i keep it in clone form and either keep taking clones from clones or if i find a better strain to replace it with then i flower it off, but its fine to take clones from clones, basically if you take a clone during veg then the clone will be identical to the plant it came from, so you could take a clone and turn it into a mother plant or use it to produce seeds,
what i do to produce fem seeds is this, i take 2 or more clones from the plant i want fem seeds from, i veg them both for a few weeks then put 1 under 12-12 about 4 weeks before the other, the first one i then leave in flower until it goes hermie and produces fem pollen, i then use this pollen on the other clone and that then gives me fem seeds from 2 parents from the same plant, which seems to give stable results,
the only exception to the cloning rule is the cheese strain, the uk cheese started life as skunk#1, the plant was grown and clones taken, a mother plant was not providing the clones they just kept taking clones as each clone grew, then over several generations the plant changed and its now called cheese, this could be that the skunk strain climatised to the uk, or maybe the nutrients made the genetics change in some way, but thats the only time ive heard of a strain changing but that was after many generations of clones,
the ak47 x uk cherry cheese i got growing at the minute is at least the 7 gen, i have taken clones from the very first time i grew it just in case the seeds produced different results, but they never and results are always the same, but ive always took clones each time the plants grown so its several generations old and still looks and produces the same,
so you will be fine taking clones, ive just took another 2 clones, 1 from the ak x cherry chz but this time ive took it in flower so will be a reveg plant when done, ive also cloned the kerala x skunk because i had cal/mag issues with it and it didnt perform as well as it should of so took a clone again in flower so i can grow it next time with no problems and will be able to sample it at its best, its smells really nice but does not have much trich on it but i think this is due to the nutrients i used on it so cloned it and will give it another try problem free.
i trust my cloning method that much that i just take 1 clone per plant, so far all root and turn into good plants, i used to take several clones but then i ended up with to many plants so just take 1 clone per plant and it keeps my numbers down
as for pointers and homework their is a guide in my sig about breeding for beginners, have a quick read through that and it will tell you everything you need to know, just always pick the best strains to work with, if you crossing male and females then make sure the male is a good strong plant, it should explain all this in that link
@905 sean, welcome to 420 mag, the cloning method cost me nothing and it works everytime, the less i can spend on my hobby means i can spend more on my kids,
ill try and get a pic update tomorrow cuz plants are looking really nice
