I would concentrate on growing many successful crops first, before getting involved in 'breeding' ... otherwise, you're just 'throwing pollen' ... in my 'beginner' breeding, I went thru several crops (approx. 3 yrs. involved) just to come up with my 'lucky' results ... it's interesting, definitely, but sure is hard on your stash and your wallet ... (you lose a LOT of bud, when growing for seeds, for example) ... good luck :thumbsup:
