How much ruderalis is in an autoflowering strain?

Is there a range? Can anyone personally confirm (for example) that 1 great-grand-father ruderalis is enough for a strain to autoflower? So 1 autoflowering ancestor and 7 ancestors who are just normal?

Any information or even speculation would really satisfy my yearning. thanks bras

Enough ruderalis in the strain to remain autoflower as it's recessive. That's why taking photoperiod strain with auto (by sexing) to autoflowering requires 4-5 generations.

that 1 great-grand-father ruderalis is enough.... If true ruderalis, it won't be light dependent. It can flower in light other than 12/12. ...or outdoors when environment is prime for success....temp, light, etc.

thanks for the wisdom

hey - if I spray colloidial silver on a regular photo period female plant (until it produces male pollen) and then use that pollen on an auto-flowering plant

what kind of seeds will I have?

Photo x auto = semi
Semi x semi = photo and auto
Auto x auto = mostly auto
Rinse repeat
