Hello all, I know there isn't any shortcuts for selection of best parental plants. That said I'd like to streamline filial generations.
My question is what genotypes and phenotypes are most commonly past from the male (in this case sativa dominant). For this example I will use the Bangi Haze=70% Sativa / 30% Indica
f8 stabilized Congolese/Nepalese hybrid. Structure= medium size medium node length. Bouquet= sweet floral, lemony and anisette. High= Strong and energetic sativa effect, picks you up and keeps you going. Flowering 9-10 weeks. Yield= Average-High.
Females= Blue Cheese, Panama D/C, Chiesel, OG Kush, Kush n Cheese for examples.
Goal/Goals, To deliver a more upbeat high while keeping the very dank, skunk, cheese and diesel aromas.
Flowering times to remain at 10 weeks or less. Bangi Haze by Ace and Edy by Original Delicatessen seem to fit this requirement better than any other strains I've studied.( They are both excellent in cooler environments). I have both of these genetics. I grow in a greenhouse along the Canadian US border. I don't use a blackout system. Natural flowering (first pistils) third week in July. I germinate seeds into 35 and 45 gallon root pouch grow bags. Starting the 3rd week in May. ( I don't transplant genetics). I make a keg cup sized hole and pack in a starter soil mix. My results have been exceptional the past several years using this method.
For all growers that take detailed notes of your grows. I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on this subject. I have my personnel notes and experiences to draw from as well. I don't do crosses on a yearly basis and have not focused on these exact circumstances. In the past I was only working on seed propagation and running f1's out of curiosity. Now I'm much more focused on gaining knowledge in genetic frequencies. That said I can only work in small test groups of 30 plants on average.
Again thanks for your time and thoughts. Peace
