Hey Guys

 

Can Anybody Explain to me in lammen's term how exactley cross breeding works ?. or give me a link to a site wich explains it ?

Here's a link to a thread where we just talked about the effects and methods of breeding. Whitecluster knows a bit about this too, as you'll soon find out I think.... ::

What the hell is an F1?

 

If this doesn't help, feel free to ask about what specifically you want to know...

MJ has male and female plants. Males produce pollen and females produce buds. When male pollen gets on a femle bud then it makes seeds. This decreases the yield and potency of female bud, which is why unless you're breeding, you want to kill all males and just keep the flowering females for maximum yield & potency.

 

If you want to cross strains just get pollen from male of one strain and put onto female flowering plant of a different strain. This will get you crossed seeds with traits from each parent, but is not breeding. To breed a new strain is a lot more involved and requires growing a large number of plants for multiple generations and progressively selecting parents out of each generation for the next. I don't really understand it myself, and don't want to, its something I'll never have the time or space to do.

 

I might try my hand and some basic crosses though and if I find a special plant will just keep it as a mother. you never know, dumb luck can be your greatest asset sometimes
