This thread is for talking about breeding strains that flower early.
I start this thread with following question: "Why early flowering trait doesn't follow mendelian model?"

[NewAgeGenetics]

you mean early flowering plants for outdoors?

LOL! can you name some strains what flower at 18/6 without ruderalis in the genetic?

Thyphoon, Royal dane and nepal.
Also Hyprids from hell has some strains that flower at that photoperiod.

I'll watch.

You are talking semi auto flowering strains.

I'm not sure why you would want that. The world of auto flower has come so far with plenty of good choices out there.

I guess if I was dead set on that I would select for the trait and try to lock it in.

Autoflowering strains are flowering immediately because of the ruderalis.

I think in this thread we are looking for real early flowering strains or we can call them to "semi autoflowering" strains. They are not autoflowering btw just react very fast for the shorter light hours after june 21. and they start to flower in mid July or max in the first days of August.

what start to flower later, like mid August, those strains are not early / semi autos.

These early strains are very good for outdoors because they can finish in September or max the first days of October and not contains any ruderalis so they can grow to decent sizes and the potency is excellent. they can finish before the cold weather comes with the rains and frosts.

and I'm not talkin about HFH strains.

Is that their real name? Where I came from we call them earlys.

You can clone them, they usualy yield better than autoflowers and can be flowered at 60 degrees north or more. I am not sure where it is too north to grow them.

autoflowering strains are ruderalis crosses, they are totally automatic (ready to harvest 70 days after germination).

semi autoflowering = early flowering strains are not automatic ruderalis crosses, just very photoperiod sensitive strains. they react fast with flowering to longer nights = less light hours every day after the Summer solstice (June 21. the shortest night).
