KB I will let you in on a little secret thus saving you time.
Imagine this- you start 10 vortex seeds, you get 5 females and 4 males "lets say"
you "spot" pollinate every female with the 2 stand out males. in certain areas of the plant.
you sample the finished product
you choose which seeds to grow- thus keeping in mind which male looked like the keeper mom.
then you know which clone to keep, "which you cut 4"
you keep that mom around for a year or two backcrosing your F-generation seeds.
a stable strain can be accomplished without starting a hundred half ass seedlings.
this method will save you time and is as efficiant as working with thousands... now if I was a big time breeder I would have to come up with original strains...I however bow down to no one, and go my no code unlike the world renown breeders. This is were their pride and legal issues get in there way..For instance, You will never see Mr.Nice take a BW and a TGA Vortex and combine them... You will not see a Barnys Farm ST be bred with a DJ Short BB... unless someone like me does it!, I am not bound by anything that goes on in a major breeders organization their laws, their pride, and their patents do not apply to me. that is my reality
