I'm an experienced grower and now I'm thinking about starting a seed business so I'm looking for some tips on cross breeding genetics, I'm thinking of doing 6 males to 1 female, also can I feminize six different strains in the same grow room, please get back if you have some tips

Don't really care, just want to produce some strong genetics

Like are you wanting all males of the same strain, or all different? Same as the female? Seems like you want a bunch of dudes to go family style on that lady, harder to isolate genetics that way. I would think?

I mean, 1 male can pollen ate a whole crop, just trying to figure out your approach.

6 different strains, it's what iv read can be done apparently it's what many seed breeders do, isolate one branch per pollen, iv got a few strains in mind
GHOST CANDY

just need one more male and then I need the perfect female

You wouldn't have any idea what the seeds are. If you want to try breeding find 2 strains you really like. Find a strong, vigorous growing male of one strain and breed it to 1 female of another strain, that gives uou and f1. Bonus points ifvyou breed a male with an elite cut(clone). Then you can try to work that strain for as many cycles as you want. Trying to pick phenos with the traits you want to isolate.

This is not what breeders do, to easy to cross containment pollen.

Doing one strain at a time is long though, and tbh I'm trying to start a seed bank company, so from what I have researched breed 6 different strains on one female which I think is f1, then pick the best genetics from each one, then feminise them which that batch becomes f2, but like I say I'm not to clued up on breeding

And I think they use a bag to contaminate the pollen onto that certain branch

It’s a tight rope you would be walking, if you want to breed, you gotta know what’s what for sure. Fast and furious is not the way here. I’m stoked you are giving a whirl though.

you want to start a business with something you’ve never done before?..
there’s a reason some breeders are top notch and the other 80% have no clue..
do it for fun with no expectations and go from there..
there is nothing worth while on you tube to help..

If you are working with true males you cannot make feminized seeds.
If you don't really care and are trying to do this as a cash grab, potential buyers will see that and likely not be so interested, also it is apparent the seed market is cooling off imo, you may have missed the rush.
Yes you can use 6 males to pollinate individual branches but unless the female is huge you will be disappointed with how many seeds you end up with. This is not how breeders are doing it for seed production runs. Maybe some do this to create a small batch of seeds for testing before doing a seed production run but otherwise it is not going to be useful to someone trying to sell seeds.
Yes it does take time which is why most pollen chucker breeders will often use one male on several female, this nets the most seeds and crosses in return.
No that is not how cannabis filial generations work. To get a true F1 the male and female cannot be related up through their family trees. Most people now call any male to female breeding an F1. In any case, if you take two F1's (a male and female) and cross them, you have an F2. If you do what you describe once you self it to feminize it you have an S1.
I would suggest stop, put everything on pause and do some research. Breeding takes knowledge, time, patience, money, knowledge, space, patience, testing, luck, etc.
