as far as breeding and creating a new strain is it as simple as starting seeds from 2 types of plants hoping one type is male and one type is female, polinating the female with the male and bam you got a new strain?
I really would like to know more about this so I will deffenatly be following this thread
as for a name for your strain maby"passion meds" as you are deddicating it to gp

its not that simple though its my belief alot of people think so... it take alot of work, and many generations til it comes out right the way you like it. its like you are sculpting the plant to get the traits you want. and weed out the traits you dont want until the strain is stable.

if you do just what you suggest you wont be dissapointed because you'll get F1 hybrids of the two plants you crossed (note i said crossed not bred). which will give you possibly strong cannabis, but no stability or true breeding strain. you have no control over the outcome. it will be luck of the draw..

have a look at subcool's threads on breeding . also theres alot of books around on the subject of breeding plants... (someone help me here, im slightly pissed and cant remember a single one.. sorry man. i promise to come back when im sober)

if you really want to find out about it. subcools tha man to dig into for info...

You really don't have a strain until it is stable. The term strain in marijuana horticulture becomes a catch all for any unique plant. The truth however, is that until the same traits remain, generation to generation, you really don't have a "strain." This is one of the reasons why good breeding can take a lot of work.

thank you to my ghost writer who did an independant test of my strain and took the time and volunteered some space for the trial.

ok so theres potential to go two ways with this.

theres still a long way to go with it. either way. the saigon is a strain i also liked as it is. but i'll still work on it to try to lower the finishing times.

hopefully i'll be back with it before next outdoor season in the northern hemisphere.

peace.

lol I didn't think it was that easy I'm gonna do alot more reading on the subjest before I look foolish again lmao and thanks for recomending subcool I look foward to checking his work out

T.

no, dude you didnt look foolish. its an honest enough question for a newbie.
to learn the basics of breeding look up about things like basic principles of breeding.. look up guys like mendel (old stuff, but its how it all began. and explains it in a simple form)..

ill give you a head start:

Basic Principles of Genetics: Mendel's Genetics
