I am currently looking for advice in breeding ( i just recieved a pack of white widow, nirvana crystal, and heath robinsons black rose and want to keep these gentetics.. )
so i was refered to bigmike13, as he is knowledgeable in this field...
i gave him a PM, and though he was short in his answer (has a new job to attend to ) he was more than helpful. here is his reply:
Re: Hey mike.. i need a couple pointers..
sorry man in going to be short tonight with any help. i just started a new job and have to be to work at 3am on the weekends...good money but getting used to the times sucks.
you have the right idea on the two best m/f. i like to see the female (clone) flower to know that she is what im looking for...then cross with my first male to show in veg. this way i know i have a strong male that will flower strong when ready. to keep a fem only strain going, cross her also with the male that you do the first cross with...then you could find a male phenotype of the original from that cross and back breed with the original female or clone...make sense?? so find a room and let the male pollinate both females. some like to collect pollen...i just give the male a shake over the females in the third week of flower. this way you have pleanty of pollen and resin build up on the female for the pollen to stick on the hairs. this results in a fully seeded female that will give you pleanty of seeds.
when you get closer to breeding im always here...its just that simple and you will never by seeds again if you like your crosses. it is worth every thing you put into it. this can also take sometime to find what you are looking for in the new crosses.

(i was told by Pink that u know how to breed)
i currently have nothing but Big Bang Fems growing... but i just recieved a package from dr chronic...
i have:
10 White widow
10 Chrystal
5 Black Rose fems (freebies)
so what im asking is what would be the best way to go about seeding these...
i need some pointers about how to breed.. anything u picked up along the venture would be great help...
my idea was to first grow the WWs, chose a good mother (by cloning and sexing) then isolate that mother, and then use a second female to allow to be pollinated by the healthiest male...
then on the second run im gonna do the same thing with the crystal...
and while all thats going on i want to go ahead and start the Black Roses to find a suitable (and clonable) mother.. that way i will have a veg chamber with three mothers..
i was also thinking about crossing them, and i have a few ?s about that...
is there a difference in the result if you were to cross a Male WW with a fem Crystal, and fem WW with a male Crystal?
also, what about the black rose fems... i dont want to lose the strain but being that i have nothing but Fems from them how would i continue their legacy?
any help is appreciated... thanks dude
