Welcome, someone else with some more specific knowledge on this will need to comment. Good luck with whatever you do.Hi growers
I'm new to forums and newish to growing and I'd like to ask for some help
I've been growing for four years and I want to attempt making seeds and would like help
Strain list as follows
Northern Lights
Blueberry
Ak
Jack
Got male Alien Bluetooth I'm about to kill and might get some in the Northern Lights should I cross with the northern lights or the other male ? What can I expect from the resulting seeds ? Any help would be amazing and I need help on what to do please
Thank you ! Can you please point me in the right directionWelcome, someone else with some more specific knowledge on this will need to comment. Good luck with whatever you do.

I would try to cross both, since new strains are made daily. You might also want to try making some feminized seeds, which will give you basically clones from the plants they came from...or even from the crosses from other female's pollen (if treated with Colloidal Silver). Depending on your choices, you could make crosses with the males or create a few branches of feminized seeds from the females. You often get the same variety of phenos when crossing females, but crossing with males will also give you the usual 50/50 male/female mix of seeds. Keep good notes, or if you are like me, I forget everything in a few days unless I write the stuff down.
Confused
So if I make female seeds , they will all be like the plant they came from ?
For the most part, yes. The seeds from a self fertilized female plant (also known as a Hermie, or Hermaphrodite) will be about the same as a clone of that plant, except in a seed form and not a clone form. If you have several different strains and you make flowers on them as well, then the resulting seeds will be a mix of the plant that grew the seeds and the plant that made the flowers/pollen...basically like a regular seed but feminized.
By treating the growing buds with Collodial Silver, the plant will make flowers instead of buds. The flowers are able to pollinate the buds, resulting in seeds. Because the seeds came from a female plant, genetically there is no "male" chromosomes and any seeds produced will have only female genetic information. This will make only female plants from the seeds.
Gotcha ! So how do I make the strain show more vigor & produce big yieldsFor the most part, yes.

Thank you so much :-) how much variation should I expect ? And is there a way to make the plants more identical to momma each time I cross emSorry I must disagree. Selfed seeds can produce similar plants to the mother but not likely identical like a clone. They can be quite different too but will only contain the genetics of the mother plant so less variety than a male female made seed.
I manage to have a few seeds on my seed grown Thai/diesel strains it seems sometimes and have collected them over the years. I plant them often. I never have hermies like is said on the forums beyond a few stress seeds or maybe a couple late nanners. Typical of chem based strains.
Anyway. The point is that I see different and similar plants from s-1 seeds.
that's supposed to say "just pollinate a branch with each type of pollon and mark each branch so u know what's wat."if youv never made beans before i suggest u keep it simple and just make normal beans-not feminised ones.
just pollonate a branch each offdop
Can I use multiple types of pollen on the same plant ? limited on space and numbersthat's supposed to say "just pollinate a branch with each type of pollon and mark each branch so u know what's wat."
I agree to some degree that the seed grown plant will be different than the mother plant, but since there isn't much genetic variation, most will be pretty similar. Not as identical as a clone since the same dominant/recessive genes show more random variations, which a clone can't. From my experience, I find that most of the plants that were raised from naturally feminized seeds were pretty much identical, even decades later. Regarding different pollen strains from different plants...sure...that is what happens in nature. You can never really tell the future on future strains made from two different plant strains, but that is where the fun comes in. Sometimes you get a huge plant that is low in potency, sometimes a small but powerful plant...and everything in between. Sometimes you get a huge and powerful strain. Keep in mind that out of the zillion strains available out there, they all started from just a few original strains. Even the old strains weren't nearly as potent as the ones that have been crossbred to give up to 30% THC. In the 70s, you were lucky to find anything stronger than about 12-15 percent. People had lower tolerances to the levels, so the old stuff seemed super powerful, but the current stuff would have put you in a coma if you could get it back then.Sorry I must disagree.

How would you know what is what? Tap the pollen onto foil then brush it on the stigmas. Take notes of whodadaddyCan I use multiple types of pollen on the same plant ? limited on space and numbers
I'm thinking I should tag whatever branch with color coding so I can tell the difference in what pollen went where then grow half a dozen to a dozen of each type iimake the 1989NL5 I got grows beautifully , I'll post a pic or two after I medicateHow would you know what is what?
