so I'm planning on breeding some femenized autos .my question is do you start your male pheno hunt first or can you start them at the same time as the mother plant you will choose. because autos have a timer on them and I'm just scared the seed won't develop fully.thanx for help

Start your females 2-3 weeks before the males. this way they have a head start and will have lots of flowers to pollinate buy the time the males are ready. Autos will keep going and work on maturing the seed even though they looked like they stopped growing. I have done an auto breeding project it turned out well. I used CS to reverse a branch on the plant and used that pollen to make seeds on sistering plant.

Yeah you can but you want the male plant ahead really to pollenate ASAP.

hey 👋 search for female and male phenotypes at the same time, from the same batch, so that their cycles stay synchronized. The male must release his pollen when the female shows her first white pistils; if you pollinate too early, there won’t be enough flowers to produce seeds, and if you pollinate too late, the seeds won’t have time to mature before senescence
