good point,,,,,but then again il probbly find the "real keepers/smokables" in later outcrosses
Hey Rick,
i know you said you've got your heart set on reversing the Cheese straight away and totally forgetting about using the Skunk male you have,
why not go both ways if you've got the space?, i've already noticed there arguments for both sides on this topic (feminsed route, regular route), at this stage neither of these can be ruled out obviously until you see the results, so if it was me this is what i'd do:
Regular Project A
Uk Cheese x Skunk #1, then move onto the F2 gen + further depending on results through each gen
Regular Project B
[Uk Cheese x Skunk #1] x [Uk Cheese] (depending on results along the line continue backcrossing to the Uk Cheese just out of curiosity)
Regular Project B(i)
[Uk Cheese x Skunk #1] x [Uk Cheese] 1IX, 2IX etc until desired result is reached
at the same time playing around and experimenting with the feminised project as well,
good luck man, looking forward to seeing what comes of this, hopefully you document your progress, def be along for the ride if you do
peace
I have bred several lines beyond 10 generations, focusing on resin quantity and quality the whole way. Breeding to the top 5% of females (out of hundreds) each generation by male pollen mixes. Honestly, it seems to have often gone sideways, breeding to the extreme to maintain the norm - these are complex traits. At the same time, I have definitely seen lines that breed true for these traits. Almost invariably, they were descendants/products of selfing schemes - hence my interest. I don't buy that inbreeding depression/problems with fitness is an inevitable outcome from a few generations of selfing. I have witnessed otherwise.
