Ok, give it a try, first I'm no expert at this and my knowledge is pretty old(like me). Worked with producing hybrid and varieties of various crops at state unive5rsity. But working with our favorite came while working with old man who aspired to be seed man and breeding expert. I was growing bud with him but like your talking he was always experimenting.

After planting seed run, and growing thru veg(maybe 6 weeks), then start the bloom cycle. Males always seem to come first. Got pretty good at spotting them early, long ago. I would pull off the table and set aside and concentrate on the girls.

Mellow would look at these males, and strictly based on morphology(looks), pick 2 he liked best. Take these two inside the house. Where he had set up a large tote that was lined with foil and lighted by bank of t5's. The foil would be cross wise so their would be maybe four pieces. He would take the plants and lay them down in the tote, pot on each end and tops toward middle. Then bloom them, think he would shake or tap them, didn't take very long for the foil under the plants to be covered by yellow/tan powder. Then plants would go and the foil folded packets. most would go into freezer, in a regular filing system that contained other pollen and seeds, all labeled and stored.

Then would bring one packet out to grow room and paint a few buds on a chosen female. Did this very early and seeds were located in the base of the bud. Would let this female go as long as possible, last to be picked. Your three month time frame sounds about right. Ones harvested at two months for bud seemed to have white, immature seeds. But the later pick showed good looking seeds. The pollen seemed to spread through the grow some, but not bad. The painted buds yielded several seeds.

In this first indoor grow with him, grew ak47 - which was breed back to itself, and crossed with my Canadian medical(a clone taken over). All looked good. Next grow with him got busted so don't know how the seeds turned out! Saw him later and still had his file going so think there was some storage life, he bragged but bragged on all his. He would take all his vacations to British Columbia and send home samples.

Gave him some cali bud, he said it was to strong for him, but wanted some seeds to do a cross, and at some point is willing me some of his collection, but not yet!!
tlranger Reviewed by tlranger on . hybrid genetics breeding question so the male plant pollenates the female plant.... so my question to create a hybrid would it go something like this : have male plant of blueberry dream strain and have female plant of girl scout cookie ... when the male pollenates the female her offspring would be a cross of the two correct ?? just curious as I am wanting to get ready for next spring I thought about growing out a male and a female this winter and collecting the new seeds to plant next spring ..... but hell if that is not Rating: 5
