If anyone wats to join in the fun, the open polinations will be happening in a dirt hole under a house. all I really want is the seeds so the plants will be in dirt on an autodrip. mites? whatever! it's cold under there and there's a colony of predator mites, spiders, mantis, ladybugs, ect that do the job. Call it an indoor/outdoor grow if you will. It's all about the seeds.
I've made a bunch of crosses over the years, but I hate to see the term BREEDER used so loosely, but I see it A LOT. There is a big difference between making a single cross, as opposed to saving the male and using it over and over to do repeated back-crossing, but that is what a breeder does.
Backcrossing to a single male???
I'd think that that sort of technique would lead to a lot of dead ends since you arent going to find out what specific inheritable traits the male possesses until you've spent months doing multiple back-crosses. And even then, you are limiting your strains potential because you are just cubing the genotype of a single plant(which works fine when you are making an 'IBL' of a proven clone-only, but not so much when you are creating a new strain from an individual plant with an unknown genotype).
In DJ Short's book, he says that he created Blueberry by hybridizing Chocolate Thai with an Afghani, making F2s, then isolating specific traits through incrossing and backcrossing. Its a lot more involved than saving a bunch of pollen from one male and using it for a couple years...
.... "under where?" ha, you just said underwear....
If anyone wats to join in the fun, the open polinations will be happening in a dirt hole under a house. .........if anyone is interested in throwing an elite or a personal favorite in there along with it PM me. I won't clone your genetics, the plant will be fucked in the dirt hole (litteraly). I have way too many already but I do want some of the seeds if that's cool.
Let's make some unique sheeottt!!!
