Welcome all to the first ever seed sprouted from my stabilized F2 breeding of my custom strain Ahsoka Tano. I took the best male and female from the first F1 breeding to stabilize what will officially be my strain. This breeding should be 75% the tall branching phenotype that likes to be topped and 25% the short bushy phenotype. I started these girls by germinating 8 seeds and I managed to get 7 to pop (Though I have dozens more). I'd say thats pretty good since I've had less success from professional seed companies. They are all beautiful except for number 7 thats in the bottom middle row of seedlings. She had some issues shedding her seed casing but other than that things are looking fantastic. I'll be doing something very similar as last time with these girls. I'll grow them for about 4 - 6 weeks and then I'll switch them to 12 / 12 for a few days to gender test them. Once that happens I'll again pick the best male and the best female from the mix to turn the female into a mother for clones and then I'll breed the male with the mother once I'm done cutting clones to get together the perfect F3 breeding to make this an officially stabilized strain with a consistent phenotype.
Man this is awesome! Excited to follow your journey. How do you separate all of them so you control the pollen and breeding? Do you have multiple grow rooms/tents?
@put_around, I close it off when I'm breeding. It is a very scary thought that pollen might escape. I try to segregate the male and collect the pollen in another room. When I pollenate by hand I do make sure to be careful and apply the pollen directly to the flowering nodes in a small quantity as needed and then shut all the vents in that tent for about a week. Pollen can be viable for a few weeks but typically if you only apply it in a reasonable amount to directly where you'd like to be pollenated you don't have to worry too much about it spreading except to directly next to where you just pollenated. It's all about being careful.
@DabCrab, thatโs cool. So do you have an exhaust fan on the tent that has males? Iโve been curious on breeding a golden goat with a blue dream but Iโm nervous about pollen escaping the tent and contaminating my other tent โบ ๐ฌ
@Gr33nGiant, It's pretty simple and easy buddy. Just chuck pollen into a safe enclosed space. That and pray for a good breeding. Sometimes breeding produce junk. I've made a few strains that are just absolute trash and belong in the garbage. Happens sometimes.
@biggreens420, I was just so busy for two weeks. lol. All my grows suffered quite a bit. It happens. I do secretly love treating plants like ๐ฉ though. Please don't tell anyone.
@Endriu, They are derived from a White Widow X Skywalker Kush. Then I took the best male from that and bred it with a female Trainwreck to make my F1 Ahsoka Tano. I then took the ((White Widow X Skywalker Kush) X Trainwreck) Ahsoka Tano babies and bred the best tall branchy phenotype male with his female counterpart to make this F2 Ahsoka tano.
