OK THIS TIP IS GONNA SAVE YOU TIME AND FUTURE PROBLEMS! WHEN BREEDING PROFESSIONAL IN MY OPINION YOU CAN GATHER THE MALE POLLEN OR COLLECT IT THEN STORE IT UNTIL YOU FIND SOMETHING DESIRABLE TO CROSS WITH! BASICALLY YOUR LOOKING FOR SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO PLANTS MALE/FEMALE.... EXAMPLE: SO YOU POP 10 HINDU KUSH BEANS 6 MALE 4 FEMALE THE MALES AND FEMALES WILL VARY IN SIZE BEING GENETICS SATIVA LEANING PHENOTYPES TO INDICA LEANING PHENOTYPES! SATIVA (TALL) INDICA (SHORT) HYBRID (INBETWEEN): OK SO THATS COVERED! SO JUST SAY IN THE 4 FEMALES THEIRS 2 THAT ARE STINKY WITH THE SAME TERPENE PROFILE SKUNKY WITH GAS AND THE OTHER SKUNKY WITH FRUIT! IF ALL OR YOUR PLANTS ARE HEALTHY ENOUGH YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET THE TERPENE PROFILE FROM A GOOD OL' STEM RUB. THAT BEING SAID THE TWO DESIRABLE FEMALES YOU WANT ARE PUT ASIDE. BACK TO THE MALES... SO OUT OF THE 6 MALES 3 HAVE GASY AND HASH SMELLING TERPENES SO THE REST ARE DISCARDED. BEFORE YOU GET RID OF THEM THEY' DID'NT HAVE ANY SIMILARITIES TO THE FEMALES, DIFFERENT LEAF SHAPE STEM JUDICATION AND GAP LENGTH BETWEEN LEAF NODES. THE THREE MALES HAVE SIMILAR LOOKS LEAF WIDTH COLOR RIDGES IN/ON THE LEAF. SO WITH ALL THESE SIMILARITIES THAT MEANS THE GENES ARE ALLELES (SIMILAR) AND THEY BIND TOGETHER EASILY WHICH MAKES FOR AN EASIER MORE CONSISTENT CROSS... YOUR F1,F2,F3 GENERATION WILL BE MORE CONSISTENT.THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE A BACKCROSS IF USING THE SAME CULTIVAR LINE. THIS APPLIES TO ALL CROSSES AND CULTIVARS THOUGH...
HAPPY GROWING.
