123 Breeding for Beginners

[Jah Leon]

Thanks for the info texas kid. Seems you really in depth with this.

Can i get some feedback on you on two issues from breeding:

1.)What do you think about feminised seeds?

2.) what do you think about lowryder?

My reasoning in wild populations my biggest concern is pollen from lowryder strains that show sex extremely early. Individual species are usually affected by geographical barriers over time. But introduce wild strains that have early flowering seems to be an advantage over longer bearing sativas and would have the possibility of upsetting genetic traits easily. Even though the Hardy–Weinberg principle is in play.

I still find this dangerous where man made factors like culling of plants are done and selection base on circumstances.

Thanks in advance for your opinion .

Bless

1.) fem seeds sucks
2.) Joint Doctor`s Lowryder is good smoke ;)

Great crash course to get up to speed. I had an amazing accident recently, I'd like to share. 3 or 4 cycles ago, I had an amazing Pineapple Express specimen that did a very slight (almost hidden) herm. It pollinated an amazing White Widow it was sharing space with. It only got a few branches, so I isolated and kept her going. I grew out some of the better looking beans (8 of 10 fem rate) and hit them with the best male White Widow I had going, to try to increase yeild. The result from THOSE beans has been great, even though I was told it would all be a waste of time. I did this with NO knowledge of breeding. I was wondering if this is normal, or I got lucky. And what's my best course of action to try to stabilize what I have going? I want to progress beyond chucking pollen.

nice post! this was my first year doing some pollen-chucking...next year I plan to get into it a little deeper. From what I have read and seen it seems as though it;s easier to pick out a good female (mother) but much harder to select a great stud male.

No true ran mostly only fems and have had good results with them!Ime

I know a person that has grown Tetraploids he says they are the bomb but with 4 branches at each node it's a nightmare of vegetation especially if you need to deal with spider mites ect. This fellow is a bit of a mad scientist character and is currently working with colchicine treatments to produce another Tetraploid while documenting the whole process, his product fetched double the regular price. I'm thinking about growing 1 or 2 outdoors this next summer.

One helluva read and tips @Texas Kid ill repost after the breeding to see how it helped me

Even after 6 years from the original post date, great info can always be found at the Farm.
