breeding all depends on what qualities you want to pass on to the next generation. if you want to increase the yield of a low yielding female thats a knock out smoke, look for strains that are very high yielding and then use a male from one that is simular in shape, indica to sativa ratio, etc.

 

if you want to improve other traits, just look for a male that grows the same as females from the same seed batchand use the smoke tests from the females as a basis to pick the males for breeding. but i also recommend smoking a male bud to give it a test because a good male will get you stoned

I was told by the fella I learned to grow from that I should watch for female pollen!!is this so .and when would you get pollen from the female,kinda don't sound rite.

thanx

if thats the advice you're getting i would be looking for a new mentor if i were you, female plants do not produce pollen, hermaphrodites do and males do

cheers

female pollen comes from hermies that are mostly female plants that put out the odd male flower. personally i think anyone who breeds using that pollen isn't thinking straight because it passes on those hermie traights to the next generation, but generally speaking if you cross that pollen with a really strong female you can end up with feminized seeds which can be a major bonus to some people

there sure is alot of different things that come into play when your breeding and trying to cross pollinate...it seems like it is more of a hassle than its worth
