Auto x Auto =?

[Magic]

May be a dumb question but wen you cross a auto with a auto will the F1. Seeds be auto also? To my understanding the seeds will favor one or the other plant until F4 or F5. Wen it stabilizes but until then will you only get autos or will there be a chance of any photos?z

Yes.

Auto x Auto will always be 100% Auto F1.

Favoring of auto genetics until F4 or F5 would be working a photo x auto. Once it's stabilized there may be a rogue in there (highly unlikely with quality breeding practices).. but again, that's only in auto x photo or photo x auto.

Thank you soooooo much WG looks like i will be doing some crosses soon then i expected. i been reading alot of breeding photos i was not sure about how autos worked. right now all i have is autos so i will be doing some experiments!!!!!!! thanks again bro you literly just made my 2014 that much "Size Matters" better!!!!!

He's right.. auto x auto= all autos...

Hey IDS here is something to think about

When breeding the characteristics of a plant are passed on genetically just like in humans, and when you think of things in that way it makes genetic transmission much easier to understand.

If I use your question as an example you will see what I mean

will auto x auto = auto

put in human terms

will a white woman and a white man have a white baby?

when you start to look at characteristics passed on generally there are three types of genetic transmission you will want to know about to breed successfully and understand the process.

1. dominant genes - these overpower other genes

2. recessive genes - these get overpowered by other genes

3. combination genes - these genes mix with other genes to create something new

put in human terms

brown eye colour is a dominant gene

blue eye colour is a recessive gene

skin colour is a combination gene

Now here is the tricky bit. how come two people with brown eyes can have a blue eyed child?

If both parents have 1 blue eye gene and 1 brown eye gene (one from each parent)the brown eye gene will dominate in the parents and they will have brown eyes, but if they both pass on their recessive blue gene to the child then the child has blue/blue eye genes and will have blue eyes

combination genes are easy to understand - a black person and a white person have a child and the result is that the child is neither black nor white but a shade somewhere in between.

I know you like your info so hopefully you will find this interesting

FANTASTIC layman terms seraphim! ever consider becoming a science teacher? Lol would've made my science classes much easier explained like that. .

Thanks Yoda

Its funny you say have I ever considered being a science teacher. When i went into teaching I did actually consider it but in the end I decided to teach other subjects.

One day I will open a cannabis college, and pass on all I have learned. Just need them to legalise cannabis in the uk first!
