I popped 40 over the last 2 rounds and i have 2 that look promising atm. I have to sex and clone them.
I wouldn't try it with rqs seeds.
So I bought seeds from a breeder who has crossed some strains that i like And started to hunt for distinct flavors/smells and plant traits that are unique.

Ive grown weed for a couple of years now but for all the hype around strains and terpenes and effects I've only ever grown 1 plant that had a unique smell and effect. That's out of 20 or 30 plants. Anyway, I was wondering, what do you all think the odds are of getting something that's unique. Am I just unlucky, all this hype about magical terpenes profiles and interesting effects and it's all pretty much been the same to me.

What are y'all's thoughts?

I've been playing around and inbreeding the same line for the last 3 years. I'm at f3 stage now, I wouldn't have gotten here if there weren't genetics worth keeping.

In the f1 polyhybrid I found that "keeper" plants were plentiful, I got about 15 that were worth keeping from that batch of 45(about 24 females), with 6-7 being excellent, and 1 of those being some of the best I've ever smoked. It's the reason I inbred the line further, if you can manage to find keepers in a line, just select you favorite phenotypes and and keep select further down you will end up producing a more homogeneous chemotype/phenotype. The more parallel familial lines you can maintain the better for the genome(preservation-wise)


I selected from my f2 generation's best sativa expressions and produced a bunch of hybrids and f3's I am testing now, you only know if a male has the goods by growing it's offspring.

Very soon I will be testing this "Peace Train" hybrid male to see if he passes on his 'Purple' Haze traits to offspring.

That's how I decide if a male is a "keeper", does he give you the goods?

I try to go through as many seeds as possible.
