I've decided that I'm going to do a breeding run to not only learn some the ends and out of breeding but I've always also wanted to create my own strain from the ground up.
While in a perfect world I would be selecting a male and breeding with an already proven female, I do not have that option so I'm going to start 12 seeds and select the best candidates. Then pheno hunt those seeds for a great mother to then continue an inline breeding with.
I will be breeding my personal favorite 2 cultivars together or at least the 2 that my body enjoys and can tolerate the effects of.
A little back story of the strains I have on hand both are what you would call bag seeds. I've never went out an purchases seeds for my grows and I've told myself that I never would. The strains I will be using will be Ghost OG and Godfather OG. Both seeds coming from a good friend's gardens a few years apart.
The stories are the Ghost OG was accidentally pollinated his father's Ghost OG by mistake nearly a 300 yards apart.
The Godfather seeds a bit more unknown of how they came to be as I visited his outdoor last year and he sent me home with some cuts. Inside those cuts I found the few Godfather OG seeds that I will be using. So they could be crossed with anything.
I love reading old story's about how strains came to be and find it to be one of the most enjoyable parts of growing. Every seed to me is its own strain. I don't follow alot of the hype behind some of the best strains because I think alot of it is personal preference and driven by the greed of money instead of the love for the plant. That's why I'm not yo worried starting with unknown genetics. I've grown seeds from both these out and they have so much variety in them we never know what we will
This will be the beginning of what im loving calling Jimmy Hoffa.
Enjoy the ride.
Germination begins I soaked the seeds for about 18 hours while I was sleeping and at work for the night.
I'm going to use the paper towel method for this run. The seeds are currently in paper towels inside small siplocks in a dark closet.
The plan is to to start 6 seeds of each and work with what we have.
