How do you pronounce the "X" in a cross like sk "X" nl

[Mudita]

convention, in the world of plant breeding is to list 'female x male', so i usually read it as "sk pollinated by nl" or "Sk by Nl"

This is the fun part, christening your creation.Skunk x NL should be Skunklite.My favorite name is Rockbud x SensiStar=Rockstar.

 

[Dr.NO]

I always say "crossed with" since the female is first and the male is second. So the "crossed with" really means "pollinated by".

 

[FreshGenetics]

This applies to people as well:

Male shud never cum 1st.

Female shud cum 1st.

I say "times" but I never really gave it any thought.. it's just how I always heard other people say it when I was younger and it stuck with me...

times kinda makes sense but only like "1 x skunk + 1 x haze = 1 x skunk/haze...or some shit...I'm high

Here in Spain, Sk x Nl= Sk por NL = Sk by NL

I always throw out the X and add kush lmao I think alot of peeps do the same.

 

[Calimed]

I usually say "crossed with" or "It's such n such"

 

[RollmeoneKenobi]

I say 'crossed' or 'times' like others have said it's open to interpretation.

"Skunk cross Northern Lights"

What the fuck? People here really say,

"Oh this? This is OG times Sour D." ?????

Strain crosses aren't mathematical equations......lmao

"Crossed with/to" or "and" are the 'correct' linguistic representations of the ___'x'___ in a strain cross, at least for the majority of people I speak with about the subject.

Honestly, the only people who I've ever actually heard verbally express the 'x' as 'times' have been straight up noobs who couldn't tell a calyx from their cock....no offense...
