Week 11 Macro Shot.
Week 11 Macro Shot.
the phenotype ratio refers to the relative ratio of phenotypes found in the progeny... a common ratio is 9/3/3/1 and I believe that is for a heterozygous dihyrid cross if I remember correctly from off the top of my head.
so with higher ratios of desired phenotypes comes less variation... sort of... as it depend on what traits you are breeding for, if you breed only for final quality then you could have high ratios of plants expressing your desired phenotype but still have massive amounts of variation among the traits you didn't select for (say growth structure, leaf shape, bud structure, flowering time etc etc).
why would you start your project with only one S1 seed? using one clone self crossed can produce thousands of S1's... you grow a bunch of the S1's and select the best from the S1 generation to make the S2's
you made my mind think in ways, it would not have otherwise.
I am working with one s1 because it's a bagseed I found in a really good batch of real thin mints, which is rare. Since it's all I have to work with I have to make the most of it and bring out whatevers in the line before it, if it' isn't the pheno that I want.
I Would say give those f2s a good look, there could be something better than the f1s imo.might as well start with the best, right?from that point I would advance the filial a gen or two while bottlenecking the undesirable traits out by breeding with desirable and similar parents.at that point I would back cross it,to further lock in your desired traits and move closer to your goal.great strain to work.i scored mine in cali from a dispensary he occasionally drops clones at.it was at the top of my bucket list, and going into bloom in two weeks.i will get some pics up for you.best of luckSo my run with this awesome Hybrid Genetic goes as follows...
BANANA OG
F1 Male plant: Dead
F1 Female plantead
Seeds Collected are F2's
Without the mother F1 of BAN.OG to cross back into from the F2's, would it just be best for me to use a strong F2 mother best resembling the original F1 Mother and another Male of a 20%+ variety, or run F3's back into the strongest F2 collected?
