Breeding for beginners

[CharlesU Farley]

If we lose so much vigor or wanna stabilize a plant further we can work with BX (backcross).

Because i wanna go with linebreeding (F2,F3,F4,F5,F6) i look for the trait "Vigor". Each generation we lose some of that, so this is the reason.

How You Can Develop Cannabis To Do What You Want

Check out my sig tag to understand my history with cannabis. I’ve been able to accomplish some fairly remarkable things in the 50+ years I’ve been developing it. This thread is going to illustrate how I’ve taken a reverse engineered Sensi Northern Lights 10 pack of seeds, obtained from Gypsy...

So everyone has his/her own style its like art in my opinion. You have, to have a goal in mind when you do those things.. Otherwise its just chucking.

From this thread:

The Cannabis Wisdom of Nevil

My recent encounter with @Chimera https://www.icmag.com/threads/welcome-back-chimera.18134471/ reminded me of some of his interactions with Nevil on MNS. Basically, a scientist versus an artist but Nevil was much more adept at understanding the science than Chimera was understanding the art...

" The art versus science dichotomy is the same as the genetics versus environment argument, everybody thinks it's either one or the other when it's always a glorious combination of the two that creates the best cannabis. "

I'm only 4 days in on hunting 130 F2's I made last season.
I've marked the 10 that haven't popped right up with a toothpick so they can be given first consideration when I start culling.

Interestingly, these 9 in this cell have shown the earliest/most sass of the bunch.
They are from the same father - mother pairing.
It's just the mom was a clone that I made these 9 seeds with on a lark.
Where I made something like 450 of the same with the og mother. Same season outdoors last year.
Is there some extra vigor coming from seeding the clone?
Is this an established thing that I just haven't heard about?

Mountain Gold F2's

Clones always dont have that vigor that a seed plant will have.
That is what i know about - maybe im wrong here but im pretty sure it is like that..

What I meant was I topped these 3 plants to keep them smaller so I could do a seed increase.

I cloned one of the tops.

Pollinated both with the same male
but the seeds from the clone are noticeably more vigorous than those made with the bottom half.
