thx man, i have read up a bit on the breeding and such but i only understood like 90% of what i was reading. i under stand the breeding of two diffrent strains more than just geting the seeds from the same type of strain. btw have you growen diesel rider before? cuz i have been reading up on it and it is said that it has a strong smell when flowering. if so what is the smell potency on a scale of 1-10. i am living with ppl i dont want smelling what im growing. (even though i would love waking up in the morning to smell a dank bud growing)

If you want seeds from the same strain, just collect some pollen and use a paintbrush to spread it on the female branch you'd like to pollinate. Depending on how stable the strain is and/or how similar the phenotypes you used were, the progeny should be very similar to the parent line. When crossing two strains or hybridizing them, the F1 generation will have "hybrid vigor" which usually expresses itself in quick growth rates, resistance to mold/bugs/drought, etc. As the hybrid is inbred (F1xF1) or backcrossed (F1 x P1) it will tend to lose this hybrid vigor, although the breeding usually results in stabilizing traits like potency yield and appearance (if that's what you're selecting for).

A friend grew the DR but I was away during the short grow and didn't smell the live plants. I have grown the NYCD that was used for the male, and it was stanky during growth, even during veg to some degree. Same friend had Lowryder 1 a while back and I recall that being stinky too. So my feeling is that the progeny will be very stinky while growing (I can attest to how stinky it is when dried and properly cured).

You will want to create some sort of DIY Carbon scrubber for your ducting. As far as I know, they can be installed so that the fan is pulling air through or so that the fan is pushing air through. It will affect the CFM air exchange different amounts depending on your design and the placement in your venting. The easiest way to figure that out is to put a trash bag on the end of your exhaust, calculate the volume of the bag and see how long it takes to fill with air. I think you want all your air exchanged at least 3 times a minute. Lucas also claimed that wattage/4 was a proven equation for figuring out required CFMs.

Here's a few designs for carbon scrubbers
