The square is a way to show the combinations. .....p......p p...pp....pp G...pG...pG Of course there is a bit more to it all, but it mostly just extends these basics.

I'm not addicted, but I think everyone else is addicted to my smoking. 'cuz everytime I quit, they all get moody and less funny. I light up, and they are funny again.

If we cross our pp with a green plant it will be an F1 which might be one of THREE combinations: sorry, my bad.

I'm a pretty lit, so if this isn't coherient, just post a flame and move on. A trait is something expressed (shown) by a plant. Color, leaf shape etc. Each plant has 2 (or more but to keep things simple 2) genes for each trait. So for example let's say we want to look at the color purple...

You, and anyone else interested in breeding should check out Mendel's pea plants. It's dry, but it will get you started in the right direction.

Ok, for that it makes sense. Snag a little uber-cool-nifty leaf and get clones. I think it would have to be pretty fresh off the plant to do you much good.

It works, it's doable, but not many people need that many plants. Normal cloning is too easy to go to the hassle.

Backcrossing will not stabilize a strain at all- it is a technique that SHOULD be used to reinforce or stabilize a particular trait, but not all of them. Just make sure you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. You should still use backcrossing to fix traits.

NLxBB cross

Ok, so the question is, does anyone know which (if any) important traits are sex linked?

Seperate the male and hand pollinate. When you harvest, don't harvest the seeded buds unless the seeds are ready, if you aren't sure, it's better to leave them too long over not long enough.

If the two strains you cross are pretty stable, the first seeds you get should be pretty similar to each other. However seeds from those seeds will show variation, so either make enough seeds the first time to hold you for a while, or take clones so you don't have to use seeds, or try to start...

Ok, so an update if anyone cares: The new set 1 is a group of Blue Mystic X Purple Lady hoping for flavor and maybe color Set 2 is still NL x BB now 3rd gen backcrossed once. Has very low flavor, big buds, ok trics, fair to good pot, nice short & wide veg structure. Strain is (in my opinion)...

The article is pretty down on inbreeding, but keep in mind, that's you need some to create a new strain or breed.

All genes available to you are in the seeds you start with (mutants not withstanding). With breeding you are just trying to pick out the best genes and get them together in the same plant. Some are "hidden" and some show (in the parent plant).

Great (sarcasm), this is all I need, something else to try when I am lit and stupid. I'm going to try it though, sounds like it would work.

Nice info, thanks!

I think he knows. Hope he gets it working, it looks like it may be cool.

Are you saying I have one day talent? Dude what can I say? I was lit.
