If you were able to somehow get a true female to self pollenate using gibberellic acid to force male flowers for the pollen (You said without introducing a male plant). Than you would get feminized seeds that would be stable, I think? Im not sure on that one but thats my guess. Just remember a...

The first generation of hybrids are stable, but inbreeding within the hybrids will result in a wide variety of expressed traits. By breeding the same strain over and over it stabilizes. Most breeder want to sell you their F1 hybrids, first off they do grow faster, second you cant reproduce them...

Must have different strains on both sides to get a hybrid.

No, no, its the other way around. It has to be: Haze x Mango = Haze x Mango F1 hybrid etc...

Im not sure I understand what your asking? If your only looking for F1 hybrids than you dont want to breed it with itself. You will want to try and keep the gene pool diverse. Of course you could just keep cross breeding the same two different strains to keep you supplied with predictable F1...

Yes that is my understanding to getting F1 hybrids.

To make F1 generations you need two strains. Say Skunk x Blueberry, even the mixed offspring could be breed back into the pedigree strain to produce more F1 hybrids. As long as it's a different mixed strain or pure strain put together you will always get F1 hybrids with 25% faster growth. That's...

Hhmm ok let me think, give the old gears a moment to get going. Still waiting….. Uhm, ok got it! To answer your question on recessive alleles it goes like this. When DNA reproduces it takes 1 gene from each parent. One is dominant and one is recessive. Recessive traits are only expressed when...

Its saying that the hybrid vigor is lost with subsequent generations. The reason for the hybrid vigor is the way the genes come together. The first round of F1 hybrids will have the strongest traits from both parents, being superior to either parent plant. But over many generations your going to...

Best to run the pump on intervals. I bought a recycling timer and run 12 min on 20 min off 24/7. Seems to be working well at that schedule. I'm still trying to come up with a solution to the problem. I used to let the pump run only when the lights were on but I had a few plants dampen off (stem...

What you might consider is taking your male plant and putting it oustide, anywhere will work. You just want some pollen from it, even if you have to put it in the shade a little bit of direct light and it will keep on growing. That way it's not so close to your females. Im new to this as well...

The more inbreeding within the same strain the more stable it becomes over time. Inbreeding isnt really a problem with weeds.

Its impossible to tell what strain they are. But you can tell Indicas and Sativas apart, but most of the strains now days are mixes between the two.

Get some neem oil, I use it for outdoor plants to protect against bugs and spiders.

I shut the big exhaust fan off when the lights are off, leaving two intake fans that keep a slight breeze coming through the system. That way I can sleep at night. ;-)

Check out this clone chamber, you cant get much cheaper than this. I just removed a plastic shelf, hung a 125w CFL, and wrapped it in panda film. Those are the next generation of clones to fill the closet with, they are about 5 days old. I see a few beginings of roots, looks like they...

The clones are doing great. I was so worried that it wouldn't work out. This cloning thing sounds intimidating buts its not difficult. It does change the way you think about propagation methods. Pretty cool growing a plant with a guarantee stamped on it. I decided to give them a little bit...

Theoretically its possible. Not sure that many people are willing to invest that much time in vegging the plant.

It will be tough to keep the pollen under control by letting them do their thing naturally. One pollen sack can pollinate a small crop. Might want to consider growing only one male and watch it closely. When the pollen sack is big enough to contain pollen but still not opened you could harvest...

You just need to go back and wrap this to the link, this goes in front no spaces. Good luck, cant wait to see the pics!
