Creating a strain

[DailyTokin]

I know nothing about breeding. Why does the"FTW" strain have to be stable when finished?( I thought that was just for pro breeders selling them?) Would'nt it be easier to have a clone only "FTW" plant?

The above photo is how a "breeder" should or would make a stable strain.

 

if you go to V3.. Or f3.. Then add the next strain.. You should be alright.... I think.

..stockpiling heheheheh.  Nah, interesting topic FTW. For experienced pollen throwers maybe not so interesting but they have a wealth of knowledge there.  I can see myself growing as long as I can walk or motor so I will do this one day.  First priority is keeping my med stash going and when I get there I will have a shot at a couple of Faith OG strains   Wwell, maybe not OG though it will be ocean grown if that had anything to do with it   Right now I just wanna get growing again.  Thanks for the thread and read stoners...keep it coming

This is what I was thinking, sort of, as a 'stable' strain isn't really something I need as it's not for commercial resale and more for a one off experiment type breed.

 

But lots of good info so far and hopefully I can get my head around it all and give it a crack.

the point of stablizing it slightly is so you dont end up with lots of unwanted traits like hermi plants in your garden or small popcorn nugs or lack of bud sites over the plant.

Yea, I can see how that is definitely helpful and indeed needed in a grow for commercial reasons but it will probably be a part that I skip for this one I reckon.

 

Who knows though, if it goes well I may complete it properly and in a years time you guys may be growing my strain!
