So,
As the title of this thread suggests.. I am new to creating mothers. Last year I simply bought a large number of fem beans, and put seedlings out in the end of May (due to my chilly Canadian climate), but this year I want to use several non-feminized strains, and therefore I suppose I need to make mothers to create clones.
Here lies the problem - I have approx. 3 months from right now to have my clones atleast rooted, and I have not started these mothers yet. I am going to order my beans in the next couple days (Next Gen - Timewarp, and Smoke a Lot - Freezeland) and then sprout them asap. My question is how do I go about doing this? Do I grow every seed until it is large enough to be cloned, and then flower the clones to determine sex of it's parent? Obviously I want to find the females, but how do I do so in the quickest time possible? Or do I just do the seedlings plan again and get a GPS or something and plot every plant to find the males later in the season????
ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED!
Remember - - - 3 months - End of may I need to have clones/seedlings ready.
