Autoflowering male

[muordeeb]

Recently I found a seed in bagseed supposedly from Cali. I planted it and kept it under 24hr light schedule. After a month or so of this same schedule I see some nads forming. I thought they were just pre-flowers, but after about a week it started shedding pollen. So what I have is autoflowering pollen. I really would like to use this to breed to all of my strong females and create some automatic strains. Has anyone ever bred with auto pollen and was it worth it? Oh, and the bagseed was of the best quality.

Is anybody out there? Really would love some input.

My research tells me that staminate cannabis plants will sometimes flower without a 12/12 photoperiod, which tells me that you may not have an autoflowering strain. I'd be cautious about putting a lot of effort into trying to breed with this plant for that trait.

Collect pollen.
Knock up one of your babies.
Store rest of pollen.
See Results.
Use or discard pollen.

I really thinks it's autoflowering because it flowered to completion in 24hr of light. I know that staminate and pistillate plants show preflowers after about 2 months of vegging but they don't completely flower. I think I'll just give it a try and let yall know how it goes. Thanks anyway my friend.

That's what I'm trying to tell you. Male plants will occasionally flower, not preflower, under a vegetative photoperiod. Good luck tho' and let us know how it goes.
