Well last night i was thinkin what if a crossbred a white widow with a martian mean green plant(G13 haze x Sharksbreath) and call it "Mean White Martian" lol. the only thing is what is the best way to crossbreed two females? exchanging branches? how do i do that effectively?

Correct me if im wrong, but somewere along the lines you need a male plant. The pollen from the male plant is what actually allows you to cross breed. You would need female of one geno, and the male of another geno that you choose, and then put the pollen from the male plant onto the female plant, and then cross the plants for 10 cycles to have a effective plant with the same genes...
May not be 100% right but i think its close

what about what i was saying? by choping a branch in half off the white widow and one off the martian and switching them and reattaching? i'm retty sure it works i just don't know how to do it:cry:

If you cut the braches and the graft them the branch will produce the same nugs as the plant it was chopped from.
If you want to cross them then you need a male and a female and then make some seeds. You can't breed two females!

Well for grafting (which is what your talking about)
You have to have a diagonal cut on both said branches. the attach to the other plant, and use something like sap or w/e to hold the 2 sections together until they are completely grafted. Much like taking a clone off a plant...
I'm not sure its considered cross breeding though..

Grafting wont cross 2 strains! It just gives you multiple strains on 1 plant. Its not easily done either! Your best bet would be to grow a male!

breeding two females is how fem. seeds are made..

this method works best if one strain is ready to be harvest and the next is ready to be flowered. when the finished strain is harvested, keep one or two good sized healthy buds on the plant and keep flowering it. it should eventually naturally develop male flowers. collect the pollen (natural herm pollen at this point) and pollinate your younger female after it's been flowering for a week or two. BOOM, feminised F1 hybrid.

you won't be able to stabilize those seeds if they're all fem but it should help you in your situation.

i'm going to experiment with grafting once i have my veg box built. i'm using my dresser for it. ideally i'd have one mother plant with up to five different strains growing off it to take clones from.. after a few cycles of each strain i'd flower her and start again...

people always want to cross breed strains, why don't you grow out both plants and smoke a salad of the two buds? i love salads.
