Pollinating a Different Strain with Another's Fem Pollen

[Joe383]

I am not great at growing my self but I have like seriously about 15 people who get there seeds from me. It consistently a strain is crap I will terminate the strain. My last auto cross had a problem with fox tailing in the F1 generation and I am giving it another chance and trying to breed it out but we will see as I normally would not do this. It has so many goods though I thought I would work on it further.

Numbers are your friends. The more parents you have to select from the better. I kill a lot of plants. A friend of mine has a problem with this and thinks I am crazy every time I kill one. If you can only grow 16 plants than start 16 and select the best mother and father from these 2. I have just grew like 6 though and made a selection from them due to space though or a lack of seeds cuz there at least $10 a piece and I was almost out. Males are the hard part. If I don't like a selection I will kill them and start over. Seriously at like day 50 I have just said F### it and started over. Why finish if you don't like the parents. I have also grown out seeds and not liked the out come and gave all my seeds away cuz I was not going to grow them again. I try to cross using one father from a strain I like a lot and I will cross it with at least 2 other strains so I get different outcomes. My last Photo cross was fem using Girl scout cookies (platinum cut) crossed with self, Chocolate chunk and purple diesel. The Purple diesel was the only cross I liked and I gave every thing else away. Don't grow things your not proud of.

Right I feel like it's so much easier with photos being able to clone and use mothers/fathers. My plan is to take the pollen from the best looking male Auto I have and pollinate multiple girls and see which of the girls turns out the best. I still feel there is some disadvantage because these girl autos will be busy making seeds instead of reaching their full potential to pick from. Will have to just go with the flow, probably looking too much into it.

Thanks for the advice!

Make hash out of the mothers after you harvest your seeds so nothing is wasted
