Crosses you have made or plan to make?

I make seeds from all new varieties I obtain. When it comes to crossing my strains I am much more reserved. So far I have one unique variety from my efforts. It is an autoflowering landrace sativa. Celestial Temple Sativa x Lowryder. It is now F5 and a stable IBL. Created it because at the time there were few sativa dominant autoflowering strains and Lowryder was thought to need improvement by some. I think breeders need to think more clearly about their goals for breeding. Any fool can make a cross but so what? Why would I be interested in it? What makes you think it is better than anything else? Many crosses are unstable, unfinished breeding that is pawned off as something new without any proof it has superior characteristics. In order to use these crosses productively you should take clones of the best as you grow them out. I have no interest in clones personally so I have no interest in pollen chuckers seeds. Breeding is all about selection. Unstable crosses must be selected by cloning. Pollen chucking everything in sight will just give you a million unstable seeds. You will never have the time and space to get to bottom of it all. Crosses made with a vision or goal and time spent selecting only the best parents will lead to a more stable plant and eventually even an IBL. It takes time to get there and if you go chucking pollen about willy nilly you only delay your arrival.
 
I agree that chuking random poly-hybrids is a waste of space. I did it for a few years but now I only seed with a purpose. What I do now is, if I purchase a pack of f1's, I f2 them and if they are an IBL then I use them in an outcross that I have already planned with one of my moms. If the breeder made anything other than a true f1 or IBL or specify what the genetics are, then I simply don't buy it.

I have 6 seedlings now... survivors from the last 8 Princess Diesel F2's that Pops sent me. Had the seeds for a few years now.

Plan is twofold...

Open pollination seed run to create as many F3 seeds as possible. (For distribution throughout colorado as freebies!)

Use the F3 phenos to build two lines... one indoor of Princess Diesel giggle (should the real giggle stand herself up for me) and one outdoor cross with a canadian or other early flowering strain for growing up here at 10,000 feet. :)

My biggest problem is going to be sticking to only 2 projects... the outdoor one being on hold until time allows. Heh. :)

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

I have some Classic seeds Romulan doing there thing. I got 2 males and 2 females, that I will be making F2's of. Then I have them spreading love to my 2phenos of Jack F6 x Kali Most, Kali Most Green pheno(16weeks) and kali most Red Pheno(14 week), and chocolate Rain. I have some Blueberry Indica x Kali Most Sexing but I dont know if they will sex in time for the males so I make collect and try to store the pollen for another two weeks so the younger cross will get hit too.

The males :

hi,
couple weeks away from this winters seed work. long story short i have afghani seeds hand carried from a spec ops guy that recently returned from afghanistan that i grew out and had tested at the lab. of all the males i tested two males tested out to be close to 15% thc which is about where males top out. both beautiful specimens of land race afghani.
i am going to first pollinate using male number 5 my pure kush, lemon larry og, sfv og, west coast dog, stardog, northern lights and a especially pungent blueberry. 2nd round ill run the number 2 male and the same females.
im trying to increase the hardiness of the clones through the breeding project and hopefully something solid turns up in the sift.
the wcd tested out at over 24% thc but lacks terpenes in my opinion. i would like the project to keep the high potency of the wcd but improve the oil production. maybe even an increase in thc? we will find out lol
the northern lights is the heaviest production strain ive seen. 2 1/2 lbs a bulb in less than 8 weeks. she is old, maybe 18-20 years? would love to preserve some of her genes long term and the males i chose should increase the power too.
the pure kush is a broadleaf ive had for maybe ten years. the larry and sfv are just solid dank og cuts ive run for years too. the stardog is the cut which took second at the htcc a few years ago. all of them test out in the 20-22 % range.
gonna be fun!
best,

For real

For real

I'm not kidding and I'm not messing around. :muahaha:
I do this for everyone. Bless

The "60" is a keeper from 2010.
It was grown on a 60 acre parcel. So i called it this.
It is huge yeilder and frosty Fire!
Should I give it a different name?

When I put these seeds out I was thinking of changing its name.

Any suggestions?
 
@mendo420 I think it's a fine name, i like 'number' names myself. Although I'd venture to think many will assume that it refers to the flowering time.

What's the mendo dream?
I like the way those are put together- chem4 x cheese is a match made in heaven imo.
 
For me- 2013 will revolve around 2 strains:
-blockhead(f2's from Spain)
-mental floss.

As per breeding, the plan is to find a solid BH male & mental floss male.
Originally I had plans to do a BH open pollination for f3's but now I'm more focused on breeding only heavy yielding female(s) x the most vigorous male(s), and keep it about yield.
From there, a male will be selected for further breeding purposes.
Apollo 11(f3 genius pheno) x BH is what I'm most excited about.

As for mental floss- plans are to find a male suitable for breeding select blueberry related strains: blue moonshine x mental floss, f13 x mental floss, blue dream x mental floss being at the top of the list.

This summers seed project was my super stinky resinated Swt#3 cut crossed with two outstanding Blockhead males. I went that way because I had a mess of blockhead f-2s and no other Swts3s at the time.Now I have some Swt#3s...oh well! It was all about saving a piece of that particular cut. I will take that too F/3. Current project is an Outstanding Cindy 99, pollinated by a Warlock male.These seeds are maturing currently.That project will be finished by a friend who had the warlock male initially.I purchased the Sensi star 'Ogre' x Blockhead from **** ** last Yr and what I'm seeing is fairly outstanding...just might have too make more seed with these aswell...! It never Ends..!!
