Hey all. What’s the process of crossing strains and what are some crosses y’all have done? Currently going thru my first outdoor grow but I want to create come sweet/fruity CBD strains.
Lol yep, it's that simple. The rest is selection and probability. So you select to keep thc low and for your flavor. For instance, you might try to cross a cbd strain with a fruity strain with thc and go pheno hunting for a fruity flavored plant with lower thc. Then breed that and try to successively lower thc while maintaining flavor. Another approach might be to go with two cbd strains with diverse genetics and see if you can find the desired flavor in there. Check out the DJ Short stickies to read about how he found Blueberry etc.
The process of selection is of course not trivial. But again, you have a ton of resources here toward the goal of bettering your process.

I saw your post looking for CBD pollen. Just thought I would drop this tip. These guys include Shantibaba, who is a very famous breeder for among other things White Widow, Black Widow, and Critical Mass.
Since its formation in 2009, CBD Crew have focused their efforts on achieving a 1:1 ratio of THC:CBD (Cannabidiol) in their strains.

They have reg seeds, including one called Sweet and Sour Widow. You get a male from that, you could be in business. But just check it out in general (or not, up to you....just trying to be helpful).
Note these are not pure CBD, so maybe it wouldn't work for you, but I would imagine their stuff is good given their pedigree.
