mixing weed same as breeding strain? - Test Grows ~ New Varieties - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

offthehook · 09-12-2010, 09:45 AM

I saw someone mentioning that he easely mixes different types of weed together in his bowl to smoke in order to get a progeny test of his disired prospective strain.

Now I wonder if this is realy true or just a myth?

Anyone around here with some objective experience on that?

I found that it can have a mixed effect and surly that can be enlightening.

However, breeding is more complex than mixing bowls which i am totality in favor of. A mixture can be more medical than a single plant even if it is of several plants of the same grow or even buds from the same plant.

I would assume a general idea of a cross would be possible.. i certainly don't disrespect the task.

It's a clue for sure.

Not trying to be rude at all.. nor am I claiming to have any advanced understanding of genetics or breeding. But I think its safe to call "bullshit" on this one. In highschool we learn of dominant and recessive genes, and there are so many variables to consider.... simply mixing strains into a bowl has no scientific base.

For example: A DC crossed with a sativa dom hybrid could still produce almost identical flowers to the DC.

I know what you mean Khao, but for now I wanna forget about all the science at once.

It's only everyone's personal experience that counts for me right now.

One only needs to compare the both "parental strains"50/50 mixed in a bowl to their offspring and give an opinion.

That's all I'm after realy.

Thank you.

(when I once crossed the lowryder#2 to some heavy narcotic like indica, no any of the smoking features of the lowryder remained. As a matter of fact, there was no any noticeble difference between the mother indica and her offspring.
Several generations afterwards, the indica trait still remained dominant.
Unfortunatly I never tried a mix from it and never safed any stash of it to test for it myself.
In order to get some more objective opinion about it I'm just looking out for more of y'all experiences on this.)

I enjoy making blends....mostly I do it....to get an idea of what the head of two blended lines can produce together. Generally....crosses come out tasting like one of the two parental plants( same with structure etc..).....the head seems a little bit more difficult to define. Smoking a blend of two lines I'm planning to cross....is fun....doesn't hurt anything...if anything...it can show how compatible the two lines may be. Fun is most important.

But then again...I don't find genetics all that complicated....like makes like....in almost all cases. I have no interest...nor see no reason...to make it more complicated than that. Grow enough plants.....select the ones that fit your concept...not difficult.

It's not in the same ballpark... it's not the same league... it's not even the same sport!

My teachers growing up told me there are no stupid questions.

They were wrong.

water with grape cool aid to make the plants taste purple, that shit works

Thanks guys.

But parhaps I should have formulated the beginning of this post somewhat more specific. Sorry.

I was more looking forward to see responses comming in that would go like this:

I smoked X and Y in a mix and the effect resulted in

a > intermediar effect,
b > X dominating effect
c > Y dominating effect
d > no comparable effect to X and Y

Now I bred X and Y together and the effect was: a,b,c or d (see above.)

Negative responses from all who think they are "the shit" on genetics I realy would like to see posting elsewhere.

Thanks in advance.
