Hi again,
Thanks to the members of this forum I found my genetics to create my own cambodian auto.
The seeds are landrace cambodian sativa and siberian ruderalis, both from khalifa genetics. I also have Mekong haze from delta 9 Labs, and later on I will work with those and gypsy's Khmer gold, but the khalifa seeds are more recent with good germination, so I start with those.
I will try pollen from the ruderalis, as it only has asian genes, it is very tall, hardy, sativa pheno and requires little fertilization. It is also resistant to cold and humid conditions, good for my outdoors climate at 60N.
Another reason for the rudy is that I prefer not to cross the Cambodian with a modern auto, as its genes would be all over the place both geographical ly and trait-wise. I want the end product to be asian landrace with just auto genes added, not a cambodian indica gelato wedding gorilla sherbert.
Any thoughts? My project is firstly to create a plant that is as close to the first ever weed I tried, a trippy, psychedelic local sativa while traveling in cambodia twenty years ago, and trying to keep it as purely cambodian sativa while able to finish outdoors at 60N.
My plan is male rudy pollen and cambo mother, and selecting out the lowest potency f1. Then breeding the higher thc f1 down to f4 to lock in auto and then backcross to the Cambodian mother. Repeat to f4.
How many times do you recommend backcrossing?
I have heard some state more than once is unnecessary. Will repeated backcrossing gradually increase cambodian gene pool to near 100 per cent plus auto genes, or will it be a crap shot each time and impossible to select for high potency, autoflowering, sativa structure and hardiness?
