4 Way Genetics planning

Sounds great!
Add them in and include the scoring system.

This is going to be cool.

Sounds a lot like a genome pool that could connect breeders with special male/females for breeding, pollen and seed exchange, you have a great hub already in OGā€¦

Is this the plan for doing 4 way cross?

Someone could under a franchise (CO-OP) sayā€¦buy a pack or 2 of those seeds and do a 4 way cross and the people doing the crosses benefit from the crosses.

The Dihybrid ratio=9:3:3:1

The genotypic ratios are: RRYY 1: RRYy 2: RRyy 1: RrYY 2: RrYy 4: Rryy 2: rrYY 1: rrYy 2: rryy 1.

4 Way Geneticsā€¦where you find the keeper

someone could do thatā€¦

Yes, I think that is the plan. I donā€™t know much about breeding and genetics other than what Iā€™ve picked up along the way.

Check me on this to see if it makes senseā€¦
I want to ā€˜jail breakā€™ Dr. Grinspoon feminized seedsā€¦ soā€¦
I grab 10 seeds, I pop two and grow them out to get familiar with the plant and itā€™s growing characteristics, structure and terp profile etc.

Next, I pop 5 of the Grinspoon along with 10 Ace seeds Panama Red And have a weed orgy. I think I can pull this off if I keep them in small pots and flip to flower early. {Possibly some other Sativa landrace or stabilized hybrid instead of PR}
So now Iā€™ve got (hopefully a lot) Dr. G x PR F1 and and open pollination reproduction of Panama Red seed stock.

Then the long haul of of working those F1s back to the Dr G phenotype with a possible side job of stabilizing that cross for further work.

Does that approach make sense and what suggestions would you make?

Cheers

Exactly what I want to do with the monkey paw, on the taste test phase now, and I will want to reverse the Strong Tom Hill Deep Junk back out of it. After seeing the Dr. Greenspoon I think I can give you an unworked and little known strain in the Blue/ purp family, 80/20 Sativa, 70+ days, flowers like a landrace with ball buds like Dr. Greenspoon.

In perpetual i and running combos of old foundations, my Ace Panamas are kicking ass indoors along with the black pearl, never trout it would close long node space but itā€™s stringing like pearls, yield should bump the Dr. up. Also have both going in dirt for the outdoor expression and see if they finish from June 1 at 42N, so far hardy and dealing with all the sugar maple shade pretty well.

That reminds me of something that has been nagging at me ā€˜how to ensure outdoor viability if you are breeding indoorsā€™. You really need a team of outdoor growers in different conditions to torture test the plants to find their limits and weaknesses, but is there a better way?

Iā€™ve been chewing on this for days and it is still bugging me.
I could take something like Freezeland & perhaps cross it with an early haze. Run it through the tent a few times to f4 and send a mess of seeds out to volunteer outdoor growers and see what happens.

My guess is it will be poor results because the environment in the test (and the lights) will be very different that various outdoor environments.

Iā€™m thinking that outdoor (maybe a green house is good) breeding program is the way to go.

If this is accurate then its not all bad. We can breed indoor plants for growing indoors very well. What we largely lose is outdoor Survivability. That is my problem.
There should be a middle ground approach that we can use to truly achieve Over Grow

DEEP CHUNK it!!!..LOL, thatā€™s on dominant short stout male.

damn what am I thinking, have a nice MTF male, no female to repopulate. I still have seeds and will save some pollen. If I can get a nice female out of the old seeds Iā€™ll make a population for you to go through. Should have the traits you want to impart and still lean Sativa. Made for your climate With a touch of rudaralis, but will thrive in all but very temperate areas.
Strain is older from Alaskan Seed Cache.

Go for youā€¦i got plants right now that are not cutting itā€¦they are not for my set up so they got to go. Breeding same wayā€¦breed for you! Your lights and everything the goal is to find a smoke that you grow deadly and you know it like the back of your hand. I think thats the goalā€¦I would define what you want or better yet ā€œIā€™d rather haveā€¦ā€ What would you rather have??

I learned something the other dayā€¦when i tell people what Im doing they assume Im asking permissionā€¦a grown man does not need permission to do anything in this worldā€¦he may have to ask forgiveness never permission! very interesting shit i think about

Thatā€™s like the Monkey Paw for ME. I want to grow it and taste it again. I actually got a IG of a farm mid state that says his uncles were the original breeders and he will have seed very soon for me. Was hoping for a cut but Iā€™ll settle. Plants and buds look like the old school stuff, just need one taste!

pop the beans and get an eyeball on whats wrapped up insideā€¦good for you pal. That Komodoo looks slick as shitā€¦so many nice plants die around here everydayā€¦sooo sad wicked shit that if it ever got out and bang its dead!

I laugh sometimes looking at superb genetics chopped like its nothingā€¦lost forever! UGH
