Breeding project crossing:
GDP (select male very grape) with all seeds listed in this diary. Male was very robust and resistant and had decent grape scent early. Pollen was collected and frozen for future back crosses, but seeding was directly from flower to flower.
X GDP f2 (select female xtra grape scent). This keeps the genetics of my favourite gdp male and female.
X auto GDP (select very purple, but low yeild). I lets this plant go a long time after pollination and the resulting seeds are mature, robust, and should be very healthy. The auto was low yeild but I wasn’t growing for yeild or pushing p-k or environment. Low stress growing for beans with extra N during flower compared to growing for bud.
X auto WW cbd ( select for great yield and very smooth). This cross should yield something good, hoping to select for gdp characteristics and terps and higher CBD in the next generation. This one had robust flowers even though I wasn’t pushing for yield.
X WW max (select for resistance, and yeild. Lots of gdpxWW max seeds from 3 different plants were collected early with only <50% likely viable, but there were so damn many I still have hundreds. This cross wasn’t a priority, but I like the idea of it as I haven’t seen attempts to cross and then pheno hunt these two classics.
The idea of this breeding was:
1) to create a better GDP AF
2) to select for the ultimate sleep aid over future crosses between heavy GDP like cultivars and cbd WW
3) create base seeds for a later GDP x WWMax pheno hunt.
