White russian (WWXAK47) X Strong ruderalis - new strain creation? :D
Bummer. Looks like I missed out on part of this.

That's all? Considering your "best" is likely a different animal than other folks "best", do what you want to make yourself happy. But actual breeding is not usually done on a small scale, as there are too many subtle differences in the resulting genetics to find, stabilize and standardize "the optimal" combination specific to your needs and wants.

It sounds basic when on paper, but the actual breeding process isn't nearly as cut-n-dry as that. It isn't a 3 parts plant "A", (autoflower) crossed with 2 parts plant "B", (indica dominate) back-crossed with plant "A", then the results crossed (and femmed) against plant "C", (a landrace sativa) then re-back-crossed wth plant "A" again, then finally crossed with plant "D" for the aromatics. Most of the time, it's not nearly this easy. Most breeders cross then select, then back-cross the winners. You sound like you want to breed to a (non-existant) standard, using hybrids that will offer genetic shift with every breeding. Tough nut to crack, even for the experienced. Then, there's selecting the males for this breeding process. Equally as challenging.
Growing and selective breeding are two separate mindsets and require completely different growroom techniques and growspace.
Have you looked online for the "strongest known and documented strain crossed with the fastest, smallest strain"? I'll bet there's a few available.
So if you have the space, money and time to put forth, I guess getting all anal over the process is justified. If not, out sponsors on CanCom will gladly offer you a shortcut. (seeds for sale) :thumbsup:
