No they are crossed over with other autos to further sustain and stabilise the auto gene along with other characteristics.

Few more shots, with an emphasis on frost! Getting close to chopping her down, think I'm gonna do it in stages, chop the most ready buds first and let the rest mature. Mouth is really watering to give her a smoke!

Hahaha some of them are, I felt she was a worthy addition to that thread as well
I'm sure yours will! If anything the trichomes just look denser on mine because there's less plant for them to cover!

Just a little update on the hobbit. I had kinda counted her out, and kinda set her to the side, but I kept feeding her and letting her do her thing, and goddamn am I glad that I did! She isn't the prettiest plant in the world, nor the biggest, but damn if she don't look like she'll be fun to smoke! Seeing how well she's turned out considering all she's gone through, I am SO excited to grow out the other 4 beans that I have! If she had gotten even the minimal pampering the Blue Kush got, I think she'd be a real winner!

Yup yup! Actually had to harvest one branch early because I dropped my magnifying glass on it and it snapped haha, as soon as it's dry I'm gonna fire it up and I'll judge the rest of the plant's doneness by that.

Hey man! I've really enjoyed following this grow so far, great job!
I'm growing the same strain in a really small 1 liter air-pot over on another forum. Just thought I'd let you know in case you're interested in checking it out.

Anxiously waiting to hear about your harvest and smoke review!

Beautiful looking buds. I have two Dinafem Blue Kush (photo) seedlings. One of them appears to be a Blueberry phenotype as leaves have a purple rim and the stem is purple. This morning I noticed some of the new growth is reddish. Here's to purple buds!

Took down the main stem today, all that's left are the lowest branches that I pollinated with my frosty purple outdoor male, gonna let those go for a while to fully mature the seeds (Just started seeing tiger stripes on some of the biggest ones that are bulging from the calyxes). Super excited to see what the seeds turn into, hopefully I'm on my way towards a good outdoor-over-winter strain, with just enough auto genes to keep it from re-vegging when the days start getting longer.

I have to concur, they look pretty damn nice for autos.
As far as auto parentage goes, the autoflowering gene is a single recessive allele as far as all research I've done is concerned. It is recessive and requires both parents to be autoflowering for the offspring to be guaranteed autoflowering.
I'm curious to see how the smoke report goes. I've grown a reasonable amount of autos out and I wasn't left very impressed. But I haven't written them off at all. Eventually they will be comparable.

The nice thing about recessive traits is that in a way they are actually much easier to breed for, because when you have a plant that expresses it you know it will pass it down, and when you have two plants that express it you know for sure that their offspring will express it as well, whereas with dominant traits you never know if it carries two dominant alleles or one dominant one recessive, so there's always a chance the offspring of two of them will express a hidden recessive trait.

So true. And actually, just thinking about it... it could be codominant as well. Either way, you need to have both sides of the genome expressing the gene in question to get the autoflowering desired.
