Iām going to say your autos got hit with some stray pollen from a photoperiod plant. Thatās the sort of mad growth I got from some auto / photo crosses I accidentally made. Very very fun. I picked one to keep but it turned out to be male, so no cool finish to share. Mine didnāt get as large as yours before I killed them.
I thought the punnet squares with the recessive autoflower trait were all there was, but have now read from some experienced auto growers that while two recessives make an auto, one auto gene can do interesting things like āfastā photos, and that some photos will flip to flower under 15h of light. Genetics are amazing!
The bud you get may provide some clue to the daddy. I hope its awesome! Will be tuned in for the big finish
Very interesting genetic lesson! I prolly wouldnāt have popped em right now if I knew there were more options than just auto fem. Now Iāve identified and culled my first males ever and Iām trying to land the plane with the rest. Gonna take some serious canopy manipulation and maybe more light.
Jesus! These plants are still getting bigger! Freaking monsters!
Itās weird you got males. I think youāre right, a stray male somewhere near your yard hit them when they were outside.
Stillā¦ maybe not a bad problem to have, because you might pull a legendary harvest from these two! Fun watching along!
Itās been a trippy ride! I hope theyāre photos cause if not Iām shorting them on 12/12. Hopefully with some more training and maybe some more wattage I can still produce a respectable yield. If not at least I documented the astounding speed they grew at. I really appreciate you tuning in.
put those down the garbage disposal. How pissed would I be if I culled the 5 foot males in time for a seedless crop and then these little bastards knock em up through the hvac return?
Feels like the right answer but what still seems to contradict that is how all 4 grew like clones. Identical in rate of growth, height all the way through, structure etc. Males and females. Identical to the mother plants (4 footers)structurally. Youād think if something totally dissimilar hit them there would be more variability in the progeny.
Yes, Iād expect diverse offspring if they were pollinated by some sort of unstable cross. On the other hand, F1 siblings from two solidly stable lines tend to all look very similar. Also, if your girl was expressing mostly dominant genes (other than the autoflower trait), and the male pollen happened to be from a line with mostly double recessives, youād get progeny that looked just like mom in the first generation. Given how much we breed for recessive traits, itās not as far-fetched as it might seem. Thereās all sorts of additional complications in the gene interactions that could play a role as well.
A fun puzzle! Making seeds and growing out a next generation would generate additional clues
Lol it may sound petty but Iām just in it for the bud. At least this time. I still have 16 I think of the beans. If theyāre regs than I more than likely have some males.
