I'm gonna stick this in here just so you know if you don't already. There is a company here in Massachusetts that will do a DNA on plant samples for $10 and you can find out the sex and genetic profile without the wait. The option is great if you have limited space. What costs more? 4-5 weeks of electricity or $10 for a quick test? It all depends on your individual situation... Today you have options!

Thats a good way to find out what female characteristics, a male plants has, before crossing it with another strain

We have this here in Canada as well, but I'm pretty sure it's hella more $$$ than $10 unfortunately. Definitely something to look into though if you don't have a long enough veg time to see preflowers.

@templegrower I'm about 6 weeks into a small breeding project myself where I have grown out F2 seeds of what was originally a Photoperiod crossed to an autoflower.  From what I learned in another thread about the genetics of autos, the F1 seeds will all have the recessive trait for both auto and photo and kinda function normally as photos which is what I grew out last winter.  I made some seeds from those plants which is what I'm growing now, that should have about 25% with the full Autoflowering trait.  I was hoping to make some auto seeds from this strain that I really liked last year.  

Question: will this preflower identification thing have any difference with auto's as compared with photos? I'm 6 weeks from seed and I'm not seeing any obvious autos showing up and I don't know how long to wait on them for before I change my strategy and make some photo seeds instead by switching the light cycle.
