What happens if I cross a fem auto with a photoperiod? What will the offspring be, auto or photoperiod?

Fast flowering photoperiod. For example, the photo would flower in 40-45 days instead of the normal 60-65 days. It takes multiple crosses to an auto for the offspring to keep that trait. Rasta Jeff has a few videos on his YouTube channel ‘The Grow From Your Heart Podcast’ that you could check out for more information on breeding autos.
The final ratio would be dependent upon the filial generation, from what I understand, but I think you should be a mixed population of auto, fast-flowering, and photoperiod plants. Remember, there is a difference in genetic ratios and morphology ratios due to dominant and recessive genes and only growing the seeds will reveal the individual trait through spontaneous, or not, flowering. Separating the autos should be fairly easy, imo, when they flower before the others. You don’t mention your goals but breed those members of the population that show the traits you would desire.
