who to cross that LR with s#1?

[Guest]

i have lowryder from joint doctor and i want croos it with skunk#1 tell me how i must cross it to have much plants with auto flowering i hear somthing but i am not sure it is true this is conception my friend crossing (F-Lowryder x Skunk#1-male) and crossing it with Lowryder female hmm and another question LR is ibl so what going if crossing with another ibl plant are that cross can have autoflowering ??

Lowrider female x skunk#1 male = ~50% of the seedling will have autoflowering...

Now you can take an autoflowering male from this cross and cross it back with the lowrider female, which will give a majority of the seedling autoflowering.... But what is the goal of this hybrid? do you want to keep mothers?

i wnat creat some nice 4 me thats all i think to cross lowryder with dackfoot meaby can give me autoflowering and difrents looks like duckfoot this is nice idea for growing on my balcon and dont have problem with cops

It will take some time and a few crosses to get 100% auto-flowering traits. Grow out as many F1 seeds as possible and look for the auto-flowering plants. If none is desired then try the F2 generation. There should be something in one or the two that you can choose. Cross the auto-flowering parents to get 100% auto-flower seeds, you may have to backcross too. Check out the site www.highbred.net to find out more breeding info on LR. This site is specifically designed for LR and other auto-flowering varieties.

I don't think any AF will appear in the F1, since you cross a non-AF dominant trait with an AF recessive trait. ( please correct me if i'm wrong) In the F1 there won't be any match between two recessive genes... it will take an F2 (F1 xF1 either P1 x F1) cross to establish a batch that will show the first AF plants. ( most likely around 25% ratio) Anyway, that's what i have been told. Maybe with Skunk it's different, but that would seem weird to me.

As soon as you have your AF's, you could sidecross either backcross to stabilize the trait that you're looking for. Personally i haven't found any AF plant in my F1's yet.
Maybe others have???

Consider starting by using a Lowryder female for your initial, F1 cross. This way you can pick the most resinous mum! Also store some pollen from your best LR male for an eventual backcross later on. It might be usefull to initially select a fine LR male and store the pollen , just to have good 100 AF genes to backcross with later.

You could end up with an 100% AF F3. Hmmm they will surely loose some vigor but that's oké i suppose.

Greetz and good luck

Yea I think your right. I think the F2 generation will show a 25% auto-flower trait. Then the backcross with the original parent will show a higher percentage. I'm still learning breeding so I may be somewhat wrong.

How can you be sure autoflowering is recessive?

 

[UnNatuReal]

It is not dominant for sure. Maybe polygenic too, but this wont make things any easier either.. Yeah, maybe it is not fully recessive, but mostly because how it descenting.

I thought that you couldn't clone lowryder...so I don't see how you could backcross a later generation to the parent lowryder...unless you saved pollen or something. Is this right or what.

With colder temps it could be possible keep af-plants in veg, but I'm not sure how fine it would work and sound too hard job for fun to me. I have just crossed Lowryder crosses to Lowryder for adding some af-genes. Of course it could be better to do some real backcrossing, but incrossing would be most interesting way for me anyway if possible..
