Can Autoflowering Genes help feed the world and curb greenhouse effects?
#1
I am wondering if someone here with advanced knowledge of genetically engineering plants can think of a way the genetics from auto-flowering cannabis plants could be used to create faster crops and trees that when paired with reliable fusion powered light array facillitates a rapid increase in food production and enables seeding/planting of the Northern Hemisphere.  Specifically their ability to grow under 24 hours of light or anything in between.

As you know the light cycles differ with long periods of dark and long periods of light up North and with the permafrost potentially going away in places like Alaska we can assume that the soil will eventually support larger trees perhaps a hybrid genetically engineered cold tolerant Sequoia or other as of yet undetermined suitable species.

The sheer adaptability of these plants is amazing as I have grown the autoflowers myself and they regenerate incredibly well as well as having exceptional tolerance to light stress.

If anything the genes might prove useful for future planet colonization where light cycles are much different. Another tool in the tool box so to speak.

Also perfecting this might help in the event of a pole shift for a rapid reforestation with climate appropriate trees.
Perhaps you can also apply the same concept to a seaweed variety that can colonize colder regions of the ocean.

Thanks ahead of time for enlightening me on this question.
