Hey... just wanted to ask this one last time.

I was reading what some magazine guru was saying while he was visiting a place in Holland, I think, the dief. seed labs. and he was giving
the pro ands cons about autos. He said the only way to get more auto seeds were to buy them....Does this mean if you buy a pack of regular lowryder seeds, grow a male and female the offspring seeds will not be autos? according to him the genetics would still be wrong due to the phenons(spelling?). But I read a story about a guy who crossed two lowryders and got around 200 seeds. But he had not grow any new plants at this time to see if they would be autos, So what do you think, can you grow your own auto seeds with two auto plants?

Me and one of my buddys have double diesel ryders, his is a lil older and male. Mines a female and we just pollinated mine with his. Both autos, gonna see if any of them will be also. But its gonna take spme time.

False.
How do you think the seed-sellers get them? They make them the old-fashioned way, by crossing male and female plants and harvesting the seeds.

....Does this mean if you buy a pack of regular lowryder seeds, grow a male and female the offspring seeds will not be autos?

The lowryder autoflowering trait is caused by a classical Mendelian recessive gene. That means that if you cross a male autoflowering plant and a female one of the same strain, ALL the progeny plants should be autoflowering, too.

according to him the genetics would still be wrong due to the phenons(spelling?).

So there are two issues here:

a. If you cross two autos from the same strain, will the offspring all be autos too?
Answer: yes.

b. If you cross two autos will the offspring all look the same as the PARENTS?
Answer: That depends on the parents. If you're starting with inbred stabilized parents from the same straint, then the answer is yes, the offspring will be similar to the parents.

Unfortunately, not every commercially available autoflowering strain is stable or an inbred line. So in many cases, crossing two autoflowers may yield plants that are significantly different in phenotype than the parents, or might even yield a wide variety of plants, depending on the specific genetic makeup of the parents.

But I read a story about a guy who crossed two lowryders and got around 200 seeds. But he had not grow any new plants at this time to see if they would be autos, So what do you think, can you grow your own auto seeds with two auto plants?

Yes, you can.
See above.

Thankyou...thinking about some short stuff super cali haze......
