breeding question on a auto polinated by a hermi.

I had an auto critical plant get pollinated by a sativa dominant hermi. I collected 10 seeds or so. I really liked both strains so my imagination got the best of me. I popped them about 5 weeks ago I have four good babies looking great. I haven’t seen any signs of pre sex yet.

My question is would the seeds be auto seeds, or fem seeds, or regular. The Mother was an auto critical, and the hermi was a sativa dominant. I’m just wandering what kind of Frankenstein project I got going lol...
I know hermi seeds can be more trouble than they are worth but I'm 5 weeks in so I’m going to stick it out. Any ideas out there on how this might turn out. I plan on logging all the info and post picks later if any one else in interested.:joint:

I'm using a personal soil mixture with roots organics as my base.
I added all the usual good stuff blood meal ,bone meal, Jamaican bat guano, biozome(micro haze), Epsom salt, dolomite lime, earthworm castings.
I grow in a cab I designed my self. I’m using the scrog method under 400 watt hps. I have ac and heat to keep temps perfect. My humidity stays between 35% and 50%. Oh and I veg under 8-32 watt cfls.
IF my soil runs out of gas (which I hope not this time) I will be using the pure blend pro series from botanicare, plus calmag, and sweet. Just some info if interested

not sure what would happen but most probably regular as they don't have the chemicals on them that they do when the get turned into fems or autos. but defianly interested to see what happens

Yea me too. The auto critical was some dank. And the sativa dominant would put you on your ass after 2 bowls. I might be onto something. They seem to be real stable so far. Going to take pics tonight.

Auto's don't require 'chemicals' they require genetics, specifically C. Ruderalis. So whether your herms will be auto or photo will depend on how that trait is passed.

if it is an auto it will sex and start flowering 15-20 days from seed. no matter the light scedule. so it wont take long to find out!

its day 35 from seed and no sign of sex yet. Lights on 18/6 still. I plan on vegging another 25 days unless they start to show signs of budding. I wish i logged how many days the auto critical took to start budding(the mother plant). Ill post more pics in a few days.

its a fem seed but if it was pollinated by a photo then the 20% or less ruderalis is pretty much thrown out the window and if it where to be found with only 4 seeds it would be insane lucky odds bordering on act of god

plants should all be photo/reg and all female if it was pollen from a hermie. what strain was the sativa dom?

the sativa dom is an unknown strain my buddy likes to call block head. I got around 10 seeds from it but i only popped four of them for a test run.

auto is a recessive trait , when mixed with a sat it is very recessive indeed , if you had started a 100 seeds theres a chance none at all would auto , in an indi dom you only get 12,5% at f1 , at best the rud genetics should bring the flowering time down

well its day 46 and i checked for signs of sex. Great news all four are showing pistols. So they are showing at day 46. Does this register any more opionions from any one? here are some picsDSC01203.jpgDSC01204.jpg all females. Im happy to report i have 8 females about ready to flower. Lasr time i vegged 6 i ended up with only 3 females. So this time i vegg 8 and wind up 8 for 8 lol.. This plant is crazy now i have to choose which ones to cull out since i only realy have room for six small plants. Ill probly put them in the flower chamber in a few days. Im just waiting on the high level plants to finish.DSC01182.jpgDSC01184.jpgDSC01194.jpgDSC01195.jpgDSC01196.jpgDSC01197.jpgthese pics are from 2 weeks ago. (high level from eva seeds)
