Breeding for beginners

If ya want info without all the rubbish go buy a book or two.
I suggest R.C.C.s Marijuana Botany & THE CANNABIS BREEDERS BIBLE from Greg Green. There are others but those two I personally have.
hey breeders and all cannabis loversi just want to know where to buy a lot of feminized seeds? What will be pricedfor i dont know 500, 1000, 1500 maybe 10000 seeds?
thanks for answer
Google "cannabis seeds wholesale" if youre a business person or
"Cannabis seeds bulk sale" if you're private. Theres a site that sells all kinds if strains in bulk but i think its not allowed to post the address.
Subway sandwich bags are nice! they are long and fit over an entire cola well.
I would make every effort to pollinate in separate rooms if at all possible.... i tried the select pollination and ended up seeding my entire production room, oops! Not saying that plenty of people aren't doing it successfully, just that if you F it up you really F it up.
Tony I blame you! It was pollen from you G Bub and Gorilla BX boy those bastards had some nuts on them! Now I have a bunch of open pollination work to sift through, should be fire though with how good your Gorilla work is and my Pineapple and SD cuts I've been rockin

Hi all
I got a mango haze male that I would love to use because The smell that it puts out. Just like mango. But its too sensitive and has a lot of bottom yellow leaves compared to the other two females.
I always heard male are stronger but it seems its the opposite on this side.
Should I use it or cull it for breeding?
I still got 10 more seeds to use.
Thanks

Really want to get into breeding but have no clue where to even start - this is a great thread thanks!
Hi Rusko I recognized you from IG. I am also trying to up my breeding game. Next thing I need to do is build an isolation chamber for my males so I can flower them without pollinating the rest of my crop!

Clone it. Then pop all your seeds. If you find a better specimen, toss it. If you dont, then that's your guy.

Great thread , saludos Mexicani-ar
I got started when I let a male do his thing with a few ladies. No iso chamber or special equipment used. Just a planned seed run in the flower tent.
That's all you need to get started.
If you run perpetual you can remove your ladies to be pollinated from the room & dust them where contamination will be minimized/eliminated. Once dusted let the girls sit for a couple few hours & spray with water to kill any stray pollen. Place your gals back in the flower tent & collect seeds once done & dried.
It really is a fairly straight forward simple process once you've got it figured out.
I suggest planning a seed run for your first pollination.
If you absolutely cannot flower out a male in another area, then you need an iso chamber. Even a couple snips, in a glass of water, can give loads of pollen.

hi moses wellfleet,
That's cool man! I recently moved over here but kept the same name for that reason
sounds smart to keep your males separate, good idea.

I need to get a hold of a male but not sure what strain would be good for making seeds.
Thanks for the info!
Maybe even moving a female in a male room and letting her finish in there might be a good idea?
I've seen people using a paint bursh to pollinate single buds but never heard of what you suggested with water but it makes sense - with air flow pollen could get everywhere.

you state;
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Explain to me how I'm wrong? if you mean the bit where I state 1 phenotype yet 2 genotypes this still correct as you won't see the other side because A is masking it.... (so you grow them all out in a nice environment and all things are equal those plants will look the same yet genetically they aren't the same).. take any plant into a different environment and it will grow differently that is obvious.

you state;
and I presume you have took this from;
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
If there is 1 genotype you can only get 1 phenotype, a phenotype by definition is " the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of it's genotype with the environment"

Bump for my post.....easier to find to study
Hi everybody,
don't know where to post it, so I figured this thread would be okay :
https://medium.com/phylos/breeding-the-next-generation-of-cannabis-1c679fabe056
Short article, shared by Phylos, which summarizes some important points on breeding, Imho.
Cheers

If I diluted my pollen with 1 part pollen to 3 parts flour, and used a fine painters brush to apply to selected lower buds outside of the room and put back in the room, what is the risk/chance/amount that other plants would get pollinated by any stray pollen? I mean its already diluted 75% and has been in the freezer for a month so its not super potent, if I apply a little bit, I can't see any excess flying around. Is it going to ruin my crop with 1000s of seeds? if its a couple of seeds per quarter of flower on random plants , Im ok with that amount. Once its like 20 seeds per 1/4 that is brutal and I want to avoid. I really don't want to spray my plants with water as I don't want to risk getting PM from high humidity spikes. I went through PM for over a year and am finally free and in week 4 of bloom. Fingers crossed. And Im pollinating small selected lower flowers so impossible to do the bag method on them as its not whole branches Im doing.
