Breeding for autoflowering - Auto Flowering - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hi guys.

I am more and more interested in autoflowering plants.

Let's talk about breeding. We all saw Spyder which it seems turned out great. Is it really so easy as it seems ?

As I understand at the moment Lowryder #2 is more on Sativa high side than Indica and I am wondering what should I breed it with to make a strain that is very, very potent, short, quick, resistant to mold and diseases and that it will grow good outside also...silver bullet

Pretty high expectations don't you think heh. If I choose some very strong indica to begin with what autoflowering strain is good starting point ? Is is LR #2 , LR...or some other already stabilized autoflowering hybrid.

found this elsewhere on icmag ages ago.

lowryders and lowryder #2's will auto flower when breed with eachother or with themselves, if you want to take another non auto flowering strain and make it auto flower you have to do this:

for your males i say use lowryder #2, it's bushier and better.
for your females, whatever you want. start these plants about six weeks before your lowryder 2's, put them in flower when your lowryders start there first set of true leaves.

take 2 lowryder #2 male's and pollinate 2 female's of plant x.

save as much pollen as you can.

keep the offspring seeds seperate.

take the offspring seeds from that cross and choose the first female from each to show sex and again pollinate those female's with lowryder #2 pollen.

ok, so now you have two batches of seeds. now you have to start inbreding them to get the autoflower to 100%, just take the quickest ones to flower and breed em together. it should only take two or three grows, but some people say for it to become stable it takes seven.

cross sensi star into that and youll have a nice potant AF.

If I was going to start along those lines, and I wanted an indica-type plant, I would most definitely start with Masterlow. It's and awesome, dank, shorter plant.

Masterlow is already powerful enough that any indicas crossed with it won't be diminished.
