question isnt about hydro or soil for that matter
on page 21 there is a diagram showing how to go from f1 to f2 to f3
under each plant drawing there is a symbol showing sex i think...at first i thought they were all male symbols untill i put on my glasses...some of the symbols have a line through them instead of the arrow pointy thing on the end...i thought the female symbol pointed down with the line crossing it...these point to the 2 oclock position with the line crossing it...is that a sign for hermies?...a combo of both signs?
i am sure as i read it i will have other questions
btw...thanks for the reply bro

This looks like a good book. I only just came across it on amazon yesterday.

I looked at the diagram you're talking about and I thought exactly the same thing you did. First I thought they were all male symbols, but the diagram seems to be illustrating selective breeding and how exactly do you breed two males?

I think he's just using a "different" symbol for females for some reason. It's like the regular one rotated 135° counterclockwise. I have no idea why he would do that. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on though. Maybe he refers back to the illustration later on in the text.

Ya it can get a bit confusing, but it is an black hole of knowledge. Seems you are having issues with understanding genetics and r4ecessive/dominant traits and how to get them to come out in your cross. Do some research on genetics, I am sure you can find a simple explanation somewhere. Or just be more specific on what ya dont understand and Ill gt back to ya.

Nope look close its all correct. The male and female symbols are there..and its kinda small type, but look close, they never pair a male and a male. It all good,.

What he is trying to show in the diagram is that you are to make an f1, take the best male and female from that group based on traits you are looking to pass on. (another whole chap) Ya take the best male and fem from each gen and cross to get the next gen. if ya don't have what ya are looking for take the two that exhibit the traits ya want and cross again...rinse and repeat....sorta. that's an easy way to get the jist of it across.

what about when to use the male of one and the female of the other..???

does the male carry the dominant genes? as for crossing 2 strains mainly..
