The Wicked... name of the strain i want to create. ok so i need some help i guess, first i came across a strain i really liked' i payed 100 bucks for six seeds, crossed it with my favorive headband male... thats were i am right now, with no mom to back cross her with, although i still have 4 of the seeds. so do i grow all 4 out pick the one i like most, and start back crossing to that one, or use my headband crosses to find one tahts like its mom first and back cross to that??? basically i want to keep the fuelly pine awsomeness that my kosherkush had on my first run and add a bit of sour to the tast?

i don't think anyone can answer this question but you, its all about what you want the final product to be.
if you want more of the mother genetics spout a few more seeds and cross it to that if you want more farther cross it to that or if you think a nice balanced mix of the two grow out some seeds see which is showing the most desirable traits then inbreed the plants to stabilise your creation. goodluck and happy breading!

ok i guess im gunna do a small selection of my headbandXkosherkush about 40 seedlings, c wich one is the most desierable trates im looking for, and then cross that with my kosherkush seed stock....
my question, would that be considered a BX, cuz i didnt actually keep a kk clone to cross it with, im crossing it with the same seed lot though?
this will be the first grow i do just for breeding

as i understand it a back cross is if you bread it back with either the mother or the farther (but i could be wrong), so i would say no thats not a back cross as you are technically bringing new genetics into the mix but there is no problem with that, it could/should even bring new vigour and more interesting/varying phenotypes from the children
