That sounds like a killer breeding program and a LOT of work!!!
Hmmmm… what would you call a auto-ized Frankenstein cross???
Monster Mash maybe!!! LOL

I’m just going to call it ‘Auto Feminized Frankenstein’ That’s why I’,m not using another strain other than pure Ruderalis, i don’t want to contaminate/change it any more so than making it auto lol
The process will be the same as if I used another strain that’d been turned into an auto. Only using the ‘primary’ (Ruderalis) instead of another ‘made auto’ strain
3-4 steps, a few months each
I’m already into it actually, started some Frankenstein clones and I’ll be hitting them with some Ruderalis pollen in about 5-6 weeks, 8 weeks max

I’ve been researching this all day actually! It’s cool that u got ahold of pure ruderalis! I was thinking about taking some “fast flowering” strains I have and working those to full auto for practice. They’re not really good for anything else unless u keep cloning them.
I was wondering what would happen if you take a fast flowering strain (auto x photo) and breed it with an auto flower. I can’t find that anywhere tho lol looks like it would give you better than 25% on the f2 generation.
I can’t wait til you get those Frankenstein autos on the OG market!

that’s one of the steps in making an auto cuz First comes the growing out of both the Ruderalis and the selected Photo strain you’re going to turn into auto then;
- First breeding cycle – When you cross both these plant(an autoflower and a photo-sensitive strain) as you can see in the first table you will get 100% plants that have both the dominant Photo sensitive trait and the recessive autoflower trait. And that means that the F1(first generation) Heterozygous(unstable) offsprings would all be photo-sensitive plants and will not flower automatically.
- Second breeding cycle – As you can see in the second table when you have grown out some of those first offsprings and crossed the best male with the best female then the second generation (F2) offsprings will have a more diverse genetic make-up and 25% of their kids will give you fully dominant photo-sensitive plants(AA). 50% will give you the same hybrids as F1 generation (Aa) but only 25% will be Homozygous(stable) fully autoflowering plants (aa).
- Third breeding cycle – And in the third Punnett table you can see that we have grown out those second generation offsprings and selected only the ones that showed that autoflowering trait and have crossed the best male and best female from those 25% of previous generation(f2) plants. And in the F3 (third generation) all your plants should be completely autoflowering (aa) and all of those offsprings should have that autoflowering trait that you desire.
So actually a total of 4 gens to auto, then you can grow a couple more gens to smooth it out.
Here’s the entire article on making autos that I copy/pasted from.

That’s about the most simplified breeding layout I’ve seen!! Bravo!

Thank you and @Nagel420 for this information. Now when I start my ExE experiments, I will know when, and that it is compatible with BBP.
Thank you both for everything!

Good morning everyone 
Sorry to hear that Legs, hope you get well soon.
I was feeling like utter crap the past few days, took a test and it came back negative. I think it was allergies cause after taking an allergy pill yesterday morning and having not just one nap 
but 2 NAPS in one day! 
lol, I woke up feeling much better today.

I think everyone will eventually get the Kung Flu. Hopefully by that time it will so weak that it will be like a cold and we can all just shrug it off. Hang in there Brother.
