hi moses wellfleet,

That's cool man! I recently moved over here but kept the same name for that reason

sounds smart to keep your males separate, good idea.

That's all you need to get started.
If you run perpetual you can remove your ladies to be pollinated from the room & dust them where contamination will be minimized/eliminated. Once dusted let the girls sit for a couple few hours & spray with water to kill any stray pollen. Place your gals back in the flower tent & collect seeds once done & dried.

It really is a fairly straight forward simple process once you've got it figured out.

I suggest planning a seed run for your first pollination.

If you absolutely cannot flower out a male in another area, then you need an iso chamber. Even a couple snips, in a glass of water, can give loads of pollen.

I need to get a hold of a male but not sure what strain would be good for making seeds.
Thanks for the info!
Maybe even moving a female in a male room and letting her finish in there might be a good idea?
I've seen people using a paint bursh to pollinate single buds but never heard of what you suggested with water but it makes sense - with air flow pollen could get everywhere.

you state;

Your use of thr term phenotype is incorrect also. Phenotype cannot be determined by looking at genetic sequences alone.

and I presume you have took this from;

ie: Plant A = AA, Plant B = BB you're only getting one phenotype (and genotype)...... AB, pretty sure that would make it a homogeneous group!!
(More likely to be like AA x Bb giving 1 phenotype but 2 genotypes)

(all above is in the most simplistic terms ie one trait etc)

If there is 1 genotype you can only get 1 phenotype, a phenotype by definition is " the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of it's genotype with the environment"
Explain to me how I'm wrong? if you mean the bit where I state 1 phenotype yet 2 genotypes this still correct as you won't see the other side because A is masking it.... (so you grow them all out in a nice environment and all things are equal those plants will look the same yet genetically they aren't the same).. take any plant into a different environment and it will grow differently that is obvious.
