Breeding the dopest seeds

[Spinme]

I like to do my breeding a little different.
When males and females sex out at the fifth node I move females outside and flower all the males indoors and torture all of them .
I grow them under extremely low light
With no nutes in an extremely hot room
. I change light schedules .. expose them to light leaks .... Those are the torture tests.
To selected males . If no herms occur I then select largest and most dense clusters on the stikiest smelliest male . Later flowering ones to breen back towards sativa and fatter leafed earlier ones to go back towards Indi leaning side of the gene pool.
Once the right males are about to bust I remove the top and place it in a cup of water leaning over a pane of glass which causes it to bust fast.
Then I screen pollen and into a test tube with a chunk of anhydrous magnesium. Sulphate and cap then dip the end in wax.
When females heavily preflower I bust out a paint brush and hit all the preflowers on the lowers.
These seeds grow at the base of the bud the entire bud cycle and easily get 2 to 3 times bigger than usual pollenation.
Also it may just be my perception but I feel it tricks the plant into making more resin and larger buds for some reason from polinating before flowering occurs.
Seeds bred in this Manor have way more vigor.
Also no chance of seed buds as you hit them before there are white Tufts allover hell.
Peace trix

Interesting method.
How do you go about stress testing your females to make sure they're really females?

It is a matter of fact that all hermaphrodite plants test as female.

This.

Females go to male.

I've never heard of a male going female.

I've never heard of a male going female.

I have seen plenty of males that start off male but end up hermi or intersex but never from all male then completely 180 turn to female.

I've never stress tested the girls cause I only pollinate like 1 to three of the dopest specimens out of fifty or so for top grade next generation.
So I've tried to never stress them at all.
I usually put all my stuff through initial hard stress by starting at 7000 feet in February outside in a cold frame they trip out but I feel they grow much stronger because of the initial stress.
Good thinking I think on the next rounds I'll take cuttings of the prettiest ones and torture the girls too to see what happens. My theory on doing the males all bad was I might be getting them acclimated to nearly unlivable conditions for the desert. It was in new mexico

I never stress tested females outside of starting them in February at 7000 feet in a cold frame
That shocked em pretty good . But they grow stronger because of starting in the cold.
And purple much less in the fall I think . Maybe true on that last observation....
But for future adventures I will most likely take a clone of my fav phenos and put them through the same tests.
My theory is it would be how to breed drought resistance and immunity to heat stress into a line for super desert dwellers.It works pretty good I think.

People should test my methodology ..

This is concerning my theory on breeding cold , heat and light fluctuation into plants by starting outside in like February in a cold frame for cold resistance
Leaving them in low light in a hot ass room in the summer fluctuating light hours and bursts of light during the dark periods.
Theoretically you could do this to any paramater.
The progeny of the oness I tortured for a few generations
We're able to not be watered near Albuquerque NM for months til harvest
They were just single cola about 2 feet tall but completely drought resistant.
To support my theory.
I lost all my seed stock to a caniving old gdf fungus grower jealout that my red Burmese....Panama red
not from Ace but old family .. luukily I can recover from the origional breeder when I go visit him in may:
Some strains autoflower if started Feb.
So I used a solar panel lit bulbs on for extra two to three hours to keep this from happening

I'm going to try to acclamate to being able to thrive in Rocky soil with almost no nutes or weird ph
I think that's my next experiment I wonder if you could acclamate something to acid or higher base soils
Or if roots could learn to grow different from water logged soil near natural Springs or something

You may consider adding something like Lebanese to your lines to aid in acclimatizing to your own environment. Leb is a very drought tolerant variety, as is Moroccan but I have not grown Moroccan pure.

If you haven't seen them, you check out Phylos Bioscience, they have some excellent information concerning cannabis genetics and they have a pretty cool mapping system that shows the genetics of many many plants and their relations with other cannabis plants. The map is slow on my comp so I don't look at it often.
