I would like that... But it would be hard to isolate and pollinate indidual plants with different pollins in the same tent without cross pollinating. Then I have no idea what I'm getting. I was just going to spray the best looking strawberry nuggets and let it pollinate everything in the tent...

The list I made is all stuff that shouldn't get too tall and things I think would cross well with the strawberry nuggets. You can f2 your f1s from the better of each two.

What was the list again? I don't remember seeing it have you run the mango cream? I didn't even look to see how tall it gets.

Found it... That's not a bad list... But how about I replace the northern lights with Rhino Ryder and 2 of the gelato with Crystal Candy?

I k ow what this says, but i believe 400+ watts is what you'd want for led in 4x4.

Led light to shoot for is 30-35 watts sq ft. That would be 480-560 watts in a 4x4.

That's a general rule of thumb... But I don't know when that came about.... And led light are improving every year... Also this would change depending on the footprint of the light and distance the light is away from the canopy. In the end it breaks down to the ppfd the light is rated at.

Pretty much everything I research says over 1000 ppf is a waste without co2. This light is supposed to produce 860. They make this same light in a more powerful version... Around 640 watts... But you have to hang it higher to keep from hurting the plants.

I'm not sure how to f2 the f1's... I'd have to save some pollen from the original "father" plant correct? Or would pollen from any strawberry nuggets work just fine?

Ok then how does this sound... I run 2 Gelato, 2 crystal candy, 2 strawberry nuggets, 2 mango cream, and 1 northern lights?

Frank that meter sitting in the soil might give you incorrect readings.It'll pick up temp and humidty(especially humidity) from the soil giving you inaccurate readings....UNLESS that is indeed what you are measuring...the soil's temp and Rh.

If you had to narrow it down to 2 strains to cross with the strawberry nuggets... Which 2? Northern Lights, Crystal Candy, Sweet Gelato, and Smoothie? And if you pick Northern Lights, which on... Seedsman or Royal Queen Seeds?

I haven't run seedman or royal queen seeds but I've tried northern lights a couple times. I was suggesting the 2 rqs northern lights.
Using the pollen from the father would be a back cross, which is similar but focuses on just one of the two parent plants. f2 is the strain you made × it's brother or sister of the same stock [mango cream x strawberry nuggets] x [mango cream x strawberry nuggets] would be mango cream x strawberry nuggets f2.

I just grew my 4 pack of sweet gelato, I killed the first one, I got two thin mint pheno and one sunset sherbet pheno. I'm more attracted to the sherbet terps. They were all frosty as hell and worth growing again. I've also grown a so-mango knock off that impressed me and would die for another cut of that. Making that mango cream super appealing to me.

You know the smoothie is supposed to be a cross between a blueberry and somango?

Oh really, I didn't know. So many good options is hard to choose.

Yeah.. they describe the flavor as fruity mango with blueberry ice cream... And they should stay pretty small...

ok so here is what we will do... 3 strawberry Nuggets, 3 smoothie, 2 sweet gelato, 2 crystal candy. And if I get a ton of seeds, I can send you some to play with.... But the question is... What strain to use to pollinate everything with? SN, Smoothie, Or Gelato?
