I live in a country with strict cannabis laws, there is no where to buy seeds and even the possession of cannabis seeds alone is illegal.
So I want to create my own seeds so I don't need to smuggle seeds any more into the country and I also want to create a couple of outdoor autoflower strains adapted to the local climate and conditions where I live here up north(+60N)

I know the basics like adding male pollen to a female bud, so far so good, but what about the strain selection, what to trait to prior and which so I leave behind?

Should I go for seeds from the plants who:
-First sprout
-Had a short vegetative stage or maybe the one who had a longer vegetative stage
-Early and short blooming or late and long blooming(Or maybe late and short blooming?)
-Have good mold resistance
And sure a hundred other factors to consider, but where to begin?

And then when ever I am getting closer to make a strain which seem to thrive in my backyard, how do I make the strain stable so the seeds will give a strain more or less equal to the mother and father strain?

It will take years you said, oh I hopefully still have many years to go

My seeds are so far the seven feminized autoflowers from Zenseeds

I also have autoflower female and male seeds from Lowryder and Hofmann(Zenseeds)
https://zenseeds.dk/shop/lowryder-%231-213p.html
https://zenseeds.dk/shop/hofmann-automatic-903p.html

So this is my base, 9 different females and 2 different males(Hofmann and Lowryder)
Educate me please

Superauto, I'm guessing your looking for the names of some strains to grow up north. Getting genetics to you safely is the first hurdle. I highly recommend Ace seeds. Erdpurt is a great strain to start with. It's a great outdoor strain for folks up north here. For some variety and another great outdoor plant try the Bangi Haze at Ace also. I will be running both of these strains this coming spring. I'm right on the US and Canadian border and these genetics perform well here in North Dakota. I had snow October 15th and I harvested on the 10th. Peace
