Hey guys and gals. I'm a medical grower and I've been at it for a while. Longer than we've had medical passed here
i had decided one day when I had a beautiful male plant that I was gonna try and create my own special strain.
The male plant was a nl x la confidential.
MA friend gifted me a skywalker seed and is read so much great stuff about skywalker I figured I'd mix the two and see what happens.
So here in the first pic is the mother skywalker. Unfortunately I lost my pic of the dad
fortunately I kept all the original pollen.
What I'm wondering is if anyone has advice on step two. I should grow out these babies and use the original pollen or do I pick the best of these males and use that pollen.

any and all advice posts pics welcome. Thanks blades.

Pick the best male and do just a branch. The seeds got time to mature? Looks like your plant is done?

Well sorry bro. I was t really clear. The done plant in the first pic was pollenated. I used a paint brush to pollenate one little bud and I got about thirty perfect seeds. The plants under the original post pic are the growing first generation. So I'm growing out the babies that came from the done plant.

I kept the original pollen in wax paper and was wondering if I'm gonna stabilize the strain wouldn't I need to pollenate the best f1 female with that original pollen?

not necessarily, you could always inbreed the progeny for a few generations and then back cross to mom. it really depends on what your goals are.

So If I find a male with all the qualities I like. Short compact very vigorous growth great in my home environment I can use that male pollen to maybe force out those traits in my new strain? Its basically trial and error I guess huh. Especially when you just start breeding and don't really il understand the smaller yet important things Like back crossing. Etc.

Here's another shot. Which is a big part if this grow. I took three seeds same strain and put then in three dif buckets.
Mine five gal plastic one five gal smart pot and a three gallon plastic. I usually do a thirty ish day veg. So I'm not seeing any dif between the three gals and the five gals. If anything the three gallon plant is the largest two weeks in.

it just depends on your goals. you need to determine what it is your trying to achieve by crossing the 2 strains, and from there you can decide the way to approach it and things to select for. lets just say you want to keep the yeild of the NL, and also the trichome coverage of the skywalker. i would grow out the F2's, select according to structure, large tight male clusters, node spacing etc.. and make another cross. work your cross in the direction you want to get it selecting for the traits you like, and when you see your starting to get the results your looking for find a good male and backross to mom. thats just 1 way to go about it and just a basic approach . just remember that your eye for detail is important, implore your senses.
