Yes. Like ones that flower at 18/6.you mean early flowering plants for outdoors?
Yes. Like ones that flower at 18/6.
Thyphoon, Royal dane and nepal.LOL! can you name some strains what flower at 18/6 without ruderalis in the genetic?
Is that their real name? Where I came from we call them earlys.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.
Sounds interesting project. Do you have pics of those plants?Brickland and Guerrilla Gold also contain early flowering genetics.
I've started this process also and am at the first cross stage. I have seed from a cross of brickland and GG plants, which flowered only when given a couple hours of dark each night. The autoflower versions were done and gone by this time.
I also have pollen from the males of this run, all mixed. Wondering if it's actually of any value in helping stabilize the early genetic trait.
I'm new to breeding, though I apparently make good seed quality. This is my first project and the goal is a stable early flowering strain.
Did you try 23/1 light cycle? Does that strain have name?I crossed a NLD (Cherry Malawi) to a WLD (Sugarberry) and so far 1 in 4 plants flowers early. I'm not positive where the trait came from since both plants seemed to flower normally at my lat.
I'm not sure if the trait can be locked in if the plants are breed outdoors at lower lattitudes.
I would tend to think that the plants would eventually acclimate to a later, in the season, flowering period. Indoors or at high lattitudes, I believe a person could do it easily.
I was gifted some heirloom seed by a gentleman from above 50N & I have to keep them under 24 hrs light to prevent them from flowering.
By the way, maybe early gene is recessive and that is why it did not show up before.I crossed a NLD (Cherry Malawi) to a WLD (Sugarberry) and so far 1 in 4 plants flowers early. I'm not positive where the trait came from since both plants seemed to flower normally at my lat.

I dont know why pollen from those earlys would not help with stabilizing early trait if it is from early flowering males.
At what light cycle they did flower?
I am going to do my first breeding project this year also with some early males and indoor females.
I am going to try to find good females from following seeds:
(Number behind name is number of seeds I am going to use)
-Ace tropical mix 30
-Cannabiogen mix 30
-White lotus 8
-Sky lotus 8
-Jabba's stash 9
-Satori 10
-8 Miles high 10
-Krystalica 10
-Mandala #1 10
Males I try to find from these seeds:
-Early wonder skunk 15
-Early mix (Thyphoon, Nepal, Royal dane, Danish Passion, Pehkuthyphoon) 40
-Leb 27 V2 15
-SUPER07 mix 15
-Royal dane 15
I am thinking about buying 4 of 2 x 2 grow tents so that I can test in which light cycle plants start to flower.
They would be in 12/12, 14/10, 16/8, 18/6 and 20/4 photoperiods.
I already have one 2 x 2 grow tent and veging/mother box witch is about 1 x 2 feet.
Did you try 23/1 light cycle? Does that strain have name?
You're correct. I'm going to use the 22/2 pollen to pollinate this current sprouting of the seeds I made. I'll at least make quite a few more to search through in the future. More than handful for sure.I dont know why pollen from those earlys would not help with stabilizing early trait if it is from early flowering males.
At what light cycle they did flower?
flowering start+length probably don't follow mendelian schemes because it's likely not caused by a single gene. mendelian only really works when you're looking at a trait caused by a single gene.
it still inherits though, so when selecting for something like flowering time I wouldn't make exact schemes of what ratios to expect, but just select parents with the wanted charasteristics(or coming as close as possible), and just contrinue selecting like that till the wanted trait is stabilized enough
I'm also working on a strain meant for outdoors, which in my location means it has to flower early. my plan for the selection is to start forceflowering with a high amount of light(20/4 or 18/6 or so), then reduce the amount of light with a set amount each week(I'm thinking of either half an hour or a full hour), so they should start to flower in the order of the lighthours-trigger, and then when I have enough flowering(I'm thinking 25% or so) I kill everything that isn't flowering yet.
