Autoflower sativas!

Hi everybody. I found this forum researching Ace sativa strains and have since found loads of interesting reading here. I love breeding cannabis, and as the title says, autoflowering sativas are my favorite. My goal is to produce a long flowering auto that will match the uplifting sativa highs I enjoyed as a kid in the early 80s. I've got a really good auto sativa I've been working on for a few years and now some different sativas from ace on order. I'm really excited about the possibilities.
I spent the most of the spring and summer hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and, because I grow outdoors, consequently missed an entire season. Given that every photo to auto step takes me 3 years, I'm dying to get going again. I don't have any space for anything indoor, so there's nothing for me to do but wait. And read this forum😉

Hello and welcome. :wave:
Thanks for sharing, that is a passionate project.
Looking forward to see what you have planned for the upcoming season. I imagine sheets of paper on the table, full of different ideas and possibilities. :biggrin:

Welcome.

If you are into that, I would look into the "super autoflowers" (like flash seeds etc. sell). These are usually long flowering sativas crossed with autoflowers. Still flowering a long period and thus getting quite big.

I bought some flash seeds products in 2018 and am still growing offspring of those seeds. Excellent stuff, but everything can be improved. Especially when it comes to sativa autos, which can benefit from more sativa and less auto.

Everything can be improved ofcourse.

For outside here in the north some were a bit too sativa for my likes, as they still take too long to properly finish outdoors. 😆

Strains that I'll spend the next few years incorporating into my sativa autoflower project. Except for the Lebanese and Nepal Annapurna... those are just for hash.

Nice selection. Keep us posted. I'm on a similar project. I'll be pollinating some of my ACE and RSC collection with Auto Zamaldelica this winter.

Welcome! I recommend taking a look at this thread about breeding long-flowering sativa autos with Ace genetics.
There are also some semi-autoflower landrace sativas that you may be interested in. Ciskei from South Africa and Sinai from Egypt come to mind. These are not fully autoflowering and will not flower reliably under 24 hours of light. But they will start to flower very early outdoors in decreasing daylight, in perhaps about 16 hours of light.
