Breeding Autos with Photoperiod

I added pollen to a white widow auto flower from a royal hash(cali kush x hash bud). Does anyone have any ideas if it will still be auto. I know nothing about breeding is my new strain gonna be the strongest of both parents or just a slightly differnt ww auto:?:

You probably won't see any autoflowering plants until you inbreed the first generation of seeds. The first generation will still be some awesome smoke, but you have to make sure to mix one of the males with one of the females.

Once the seeds are inbred the recessive traits (like autoflowering) will show up. Once you see some of the plants autoflower, breed those together and you'll be good to go.

its something in high school i forgot about dominate & recessive genes, magellen theory or something if you want to research, autoflower is recessive so that is little "r",....not-auto is dominate "X"...the auto is "rr" the non auto is "XX", breed em, you get "Xr"...you need both rr's to see auto trait...keep ur auto alive to breed (or collect & store pollen) and early flower the photo offspring, u'll get 3/4 auto...breed ur new generation (the "Xr"'s) together, u'll get 1/4 auto

i guess breeding is a whole new level. ill do some more reading on the science part. i have 4 seeds from the auto planted and they are about 2 1/2 weeks i guess ill see what happens. im gonna hopefully breed these. i would be nice to have a bunch of auto seeds without paying 10-20$ a bean. the original white widow auto was done in 7 weeks from seed belive it or not, about a quarter after dried primo energy buzz

ok..so none of those 4 will be auto's...breed them together, one-fourth will be auto, one-fourth won't have any auto-genes (i think), and one half of the seeds will be the same, photoperiod dependent, but with auto-gene lurking in background...it should get VERY interesting with those seeds...they will be F2's, when breeding F1's, ive heard the F2's are more like one parent or the other...i wonder if you'll get an auto that is alot like royal hash...

at 2 1/2 weeks the fan leaves were as big as my hand and im 6'6''. there like 3 1/2 weeks and they are growing 3 times faster than any strain i've ever grown. showing fat leaves like an indica, no auto flower traits. thickest stems ive ever seen but short. looks like a winner so far

Beautiful! Send us a picture so we know what we're looking at..
Actually, give us some mugshots of the whole crowd.

Good luck!

ill be doing somthing similar with autoassasin and pipi (photoperiod - white widdow X power plant)
ill breed them out to obtain a stable auto strain and a photoperiod...see what turns out better
dont mind if i get autos or not but will be an intresting mix

im gonna also breed a male and fem of this strain than take a male from that and breed it with my strawberry cough. that would be a killer strain if it works out. strawberry widow auto. big dreamsbongsmilie
