Okay so as ive discussed with some. Im working on expanding my business. So im trying to get into breeding. Im trying to figure out autoflowers… so if i cross a photoperiod male with a female auto. Would it create the autoflower seeds??

I believe a percent is 25 % autos and 75% photo
or something along those lines and a percent of the photo offspring should finish
faster (semi autos)
but what the parents of the male female you use plays a part also
but I am not a breeder 
just a pollen chucker for personal use
all the best and be safe

I think im understanding. So i would have to breed the male to the auto female. Then take a male from that generation and breed it to another auto??
im assuming thats how they created these fast flowering critical seeds that i got as a promo from royal queenseeds. Cuz they dont say autoflower. They say fast flowering.

google Mighty Mite, Danish Gold they are both semi autos I believe
good place to start for some of this
I believe if you use a Male Auto on a Female photo you get more leaning to the Autos
just buy some auto pollen
Mendel cross ratio
I have not had to know this since college in 77
all the best and grow well

No, the F1 generation will be mostly heterozygous and tend to exhibit a fast-flowering phenotype, some breeders report about 10% do autoflower in the F1 though. You would need to mate the F1s, which gives roughly 75% photoperiods and 25% true autos in the F2 gen. You need to select and mate autos from there forward until it tests stable as a trait (likely F4 or more in a photo to auto conversion). Using a male photoperiod just ensures you’ll have some male autoflowers in the filial generations. I’m not a breeder though, just a solid understanding of genetics fwiw
