No, it only really passes on it's autoflowering traight. THe other plants used in the cross will always be the normal sativa/indica cannabis varaities, and the flavour, smell and potency will come from them.

Nutes arnt really as important as with normal strains, but a small amount of ferts in the water can help bud development once you get into flowering.

You also cant really top the plants, or take clones. They flower so quick theres no real need.

THey're generally pretty easy to grow and hardy plants, but smaller yeilds. Excellent for SOG and for harvesting many times year round - you could probably grow them in the winter as alot of autoflowering plants are hardy enough to take the shit you throw at them [as long as you wipe it off afterwards hahahahaha]
