Designing a new strain for 2 week flowering
As well as broke.
I would start with an autoflower strain and breed from that. Science is cool and can get some very interesting results, but you can also do it the slow, old fashioned way- with culling and selective breeding. Just keep picking the biggest and fastest.
The thing is, most of us have some great ideas, but no way to implement them. Genetic engineering would be most cool to do, but there's no way most of us can afford it. When you are going against millions of years of genetic programing, you may get some unexpected results. :weedpoke: (Remember Jurassic Park?)
We can also BREED our way there, but it will take time. It's also quite affordable. :twocents:
May I suggest an alternate project? CBD is much more difficult to breed for than THC. Even in a primitive setting, you can selectively breed for high THC. You sample a bit of the bud, if it gets you high you keep some of the seed. :thumbsup: If not, you feed it to your chickens!
CBD is much more subtle in its "noticeable" effects, but extremely promising for medical usage. Click the link in my sig for some of its uses. This thread will also show you why it is needed (and has a lot more about the subject). Very high CBD strains, which ones? - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums
As the number of MMJ states increases, and the many uses of high CBD cannabis become known, there will be a sudden demand for high CBD cannabis. I'm just telling you of a coming market/demand.
I'm not in a situation where I could do anything like a halfway decent breeding project, but if I had the land, I'd sure be thinking about what strains I grew and bred. I think that THC wouldn't be the only cannabinoid, I'd be looking for. A strain high in both THC and CBD would also have a big demand.
