If kept under the right conditions, a few years.

Yes, correct. You could breed it with its dad, but due to cannabis being a seasonal plant it would likely have stop producing pollen by the time the 2nd gen flowers.

Yup, you got it.

If you could grow lets say 100 plants and 50 turn out to be female. You could reasonably assume you would get 2-3 with both traits. Maybe more, but it just comes down to luck.

Because your mixing it with a plant that likely doesn't have that trait in its pool. So you would see some with red, being strong purple haze, some without being Panama red and if your luck some with both red hairs and red leaves. And how strongly it shows both of the desired trait is just luck.

Yes.

Having more females allows you to pick and choose the one showing the strongest of that desired trait, and saves time.

Then plant more and look for the red hairs plus whatever trait your going for with the Acapulco trait pool. Pick the strongest of that and breed with another male of AG. So on and so forth.

The red haired strain female and a Acapulco gold male will give you a new pool of traits that includs both strains.

You can kind of think of the traits as being in a pool of possibility. Keep repeating until that trait is about 50% of the time, showing it weak or strong. Then take that and start with a new strain and repeat.

But there is a possibility that you might not see that trait or would be very weak. If the trait is weak, then you would try again if you had more seeds to get a strong female with a strong trait of red hairs.

So lets say you have 5 plants and one comes out with red hairs. You would need a male of course. You would breed the male with the red haired female to get 2nd generation seeds. The best thing to do is plant the 2nd gen seeds and do it again.

You would breed it with the strongest looking male of whatever side of the trait your going for.

And having more female plants with that trait will allow you to pick the one that's showing it the strongest and breed that one. You either need a lot of space, or many years to devote to it. Breeding 7-8 plants into one and it turning out how you wanted it to would likely take most if not all...

Right, you won't know what traits the plant has until it flowers, that's why I said it takes a long time. Choose the one that has the traits you want, correct. Breeding it over and over again picking that same trait will give it a better and better chance to get it.

Yes you can. With breeding and crossing its a bit different. It's a lot like dog breeding. You have to pick and choose what trats you want to see and keep breeding that same trat for a few generations. To come out with a plant that's more likely to have it.

You can. But its much better to clone before they start to pre flower.

They do. And unless you have a huge grow room, that's going to take you a good chunk of time. Like 7-8 years.
