Massive cross breeding idea

I say go for it, I hope for the best for you :).

yeah i say do it mannnnnn
no matter what ya get it will be nice anyway keep us posted if ya do get round to trying it
cheers all :)

I'm thinking of doing another plant to cross with the finished product of that using better tasting plants like bubblegum and chronic to melow out the taste and change up the high a little bit, still tossing ideas around in my head.

So what are you planning on doing as far as the stabilizing process?

You're going to have a hell of a time sorting out the different phenotypes resulting from that complicated a cross.

Remember Mendels peas from 9th grade science?

Assuming flavor and THC-potency are on different alleles,
If you cross a strong strain with poor flavor x a weak strain with good flavor (I mean strain not plant because an individual plant may still carry recessive genes for still more different traits that are not expressed)

You could get 4 phenotypes:
Weak/Good flavor
Weak/Poor flavor
Strong/Good flavor
Strong/poor flavor.

This goes for height, flowering time, etc.
I'm having a heck of a time as it is because I recently got some home-bred seeds from a friend that are an unstabilized 4 way cross and what a pain in the butt moving buckets around as they grow at different rates. It's such a good cross though- worth the effort.

I already have some phenotypes written up somewhere and it's kinda complex, and as far as stabalization goes none of these are gunna be clones, untill I have the final plant. So I'm going to stabalize each cross breed by breed a female with a male untill it seems stable enough, I figure the project is going to take a good bit of time but it might as well be done right.

Thats for sure.
It will take a while.
I test Motarebel's F1 crosses and all the phenotypes kick ass.
Because he only crosses the best shit.

sometimes the journey is worth more than the destination...i advise against it...too many variables,too many crosses,too many of the same kind of plants(oh yes)...to stabilize and cross the plants will take too long and even then they will have different phenos...

I don't think it's a good idea either.
I think you need to choose 2 plants to cross.
Even if they are both poly hybrids.
But crossing 4-5 polyhybrids will take you years and years to finish.
Make it easier on yourself.
