Hi guys! I have a question about breeding. I doing some research but can’t find what happen if I mixed a regular male plant with an autoflower. Obv it won’t be a fem but the ruderalis gene will be still there right? So will it be an auto but not fem?

I have done this...... Some will be autos, some will be "fast/early" flowering and some will be normal photoperiods. One cross breeding has lots of random gene combinations and it will take a number of back crossings to stabilize a particular trait, like auto flowering or fast flowering. Unfortunately the only way to find out what the new seeds will be is to grow them and wait the weeks/months for the results. After doing this myself, I gave it all away as a joke and prefer to buy my seeds from reputable breeders who have done all this hard work for me. Seeds made in the way you are describing will be "regular" seeds, meaning they have a 50/50 chance of being male or female and they will not be feminized, unless your pollen comes from a female plant that has been chemically reversed to become a male.
