Hi all,
I recently watched on tv about how hurricane Andrew threw many pet pythons into the Florida everglades. Now few years later, those pythons have bred and have become the top predator, eating alligators etc.
I'm concerned if something similar could happen with the various autoflowering dwarfs that have Ruderalis genes. Their short life cycle lets them reproduce at least two times each season while other wild plants can do it only once. They're also stealthier than other strains and can spread further before noticed by humans.
So what would happen if they "get out" in the wild? Like somebody drops a couple of hundred seeds somewhere in the wilderness.. could they just take over like the pythons?
