IBL continue

[Atom]

I have NL#5 IBL regs. What's the best way to make more reg seeds and still be IBL.

Grow as many males as you can. Collect and mix up their pollen.

Use the pollen on as many females as you can grow.

Thanks for your reply..if I selfed one female donor plant and pollinated another female would it be considered feminized NL #5 IBL?

I meant if I reversed one female and pollinated another female would it be considered feminized NL #5 IBL.

Well, I guess so, if the parents are genuinely from an IBL and the "NL #5 IBL" isn't just a name.

The seeds will be feminized, yes. Are you planning on selling them and that's why the distinction is important? If that is the case I think your customers would appreciate you using more parents. Or at least you being open about the highly bottlenecked repro method.

By chance earlier today I read in another thread that to truly preserve a cannabis variety you need 1000 males and 1000 females:

Preservation of an Afghani Landrace from 25 year old seeds

Thy for likes, your interesting and comments :) There’s no need to pick at the young seedling and risk damaging it. I’m speaking of when dealing with really old and weak seeds that need all the help they can get. Thx for telling us your method. In the regular case it´s sufficient to...

I have no intention on selling them. I've been growing for about 10 years (small scale for myself) and recently feel in love with genentics and would like to create something for myself and friends that is unique..at least to me. Anyway I've been watching and reading everything i can on responsible and proven breeding practices, and it's a challenge sorting good from bad advice. I also been on a seed buying frenzy to collect varieties I like. And thanks for taking the time to answer, I genuinely appreciate any info and time anyone can afford.

Yeah for sure a lot of both good and bad advice to be found. And sometimes it's not even good or bad just different opinions, all valid.

There's some scientific papers about breeding listed below. But even the scientific method is one of incrementally improving knowledge, not one of absolute truth.

Lol that's for sure.. You're so right. I was wondering if I can rattle off some genetics companies that I've purchased and tell me what you think of them

Yeah sorry, jumped off topic thanks for your help!!!!
