what is the deal with ruderalis? if I were to grow pure ruderalis, what is the rate of flowering plants in all year conditions?
and the ones that don't flower, will they flower extremely early like in the end of june/beginning of august.
once ruderalis flowers, it doesn't stop either because of the autoflowering gene, right? or if so, it'll stop flowering in early or late May or something, right?

I found this from cannabis culture:
Quote:
Ruderalis is described as a near-wild or feral sub-species of cannabis. All the sub-species, sativa, indica and ruderalis, readily interbreed. Ruderalis is characterized by autoflowering--it produces flowers along the stems and branches based on life cycle rather than light regimen. Ruderalis is found along the northern plateaus of Russia and the countries to its east.
Outdoors, ruderalis plant continues to flower throughout its development, and produces colas and buds in late August, near the end of its traditional short growing season. The problem with ruderalis and with its hybrids and most ruderalis backcrosses to other varieties is that the buds don't ripen. The stigmas turn brown but the ovary behind them doesn't swell. The "high" from pure ruderalis plants is more like a buzz that could become a headache, but the crosses sometimes produce respectable highs.
I don't think it would stop flowering before it dies. What's your interest in growing pure ruderalis?
Also, I wonder where you would find pure ruderalis seeds... I know Sensi Seeds has a ruderalis indica cross, one with a sativa, and one crossed with skunk...
no, I don't want pure ruderalis, I'm just trying to gain information on the species. What I'm looking for is one of the crosses, I just wanted to know the stability. I know with crosses, they don't all autoflower, since the genes aren't pure ruderalis, I was wondering though if the flowering time was still easily stimulated since I'm sure ruderalis is easily stimulated, I think they should make a lowryder version of everything.
maybe some wouldn't come out as nice, but maybe some would. I want to grow wild herb all year round in the forest! forest weed! just a fucking acre you know? growing wild, I'll just go out and remove the males, and try and selectively pollenate, I live next to a jungle, I could do it!
free weed for me, no more spending, you know?

No, Ruderalis doesn't flower due to outside stimulus and therefore cant be stimulated to flower, that's the whole point of autoflowering is that it will flower regardless of stimulus.
You way missed the whole point.

A percentage of the phenotypes might not autoflower, but you could selectively breed the ones that do and then keep propagating those ones.
that's what I was trying to ask though, the ones that don't retain the autoflowering genes, what happens to them? they retain their original flowering times?

I couldn't answer that but later on when I have some more time I'll try to see what information I can come across. Clearly flowering would be induced by photo-period since the auto-flowering gene is not being expressed in those phenotypes, so the only real question is how long the plant would need to finish flowering, which would depend on the size and nature of the plant.
