Yes, you can pollinate an auto-flowering strain, but keep in mind that seeds need 3 to 6 weeks to be ripe

if the haze is regular then the seeds that come out MAY be auto and may not. if you search it in the breeders section you may get more answers.

No, in he first cross you may get no autos at all. You have to keep crossing them for 3-5 generations and on each generation you will get a bigger percentage of autos. After the 5th generation should be around 100%.

What???? Autos pollinate the same as any other plant, from male pollen, whether it's from a dedicated male or a hermied fem....but have no idea what the above info seems to mean...???? The time it takes to "mature" the fruits of pollination is as stated above...2-3 weeks. But "AUTO POLLINATE" ????.....get a clue.....
