I’ve talked to many people about breeding and I’m learning. Problem is space at the moment.
And it isn’t just for my benefit, it would benefit everyone that helps. Especially the one who breeds it as at that point it is their seeds. They can do with them what they want.
Also I love working with people and collaborating.
I’ve got a BD cut, and made selfed seeds with it. If someone has SLH pollen, I can throw some on there, or I’d be happy to send some of the selfed BD seeds to someone to search for a nice pheno to pollinate.
Just throwing that out there if anyone wants to do something with it. I don’t have a whole lot of the selfed BD seeds left. If anyone wants to use them to make more seeds, please don’t sit on them for too long.
Blue Dream is a cutting so a female plant. Likewise, Super Lemon Haze seeds from the original breeder Greenhouse Seeds are only offered in feminized form as the parents in the cross are also cuttings from female plants , selected individuals from Lemon Skunk and SSH respectively. To make a hybrid of Blue Dream x Super Lemon Haze one would seek out a genuine cutting of Blue Dream and some Greenhouse Seeds Super Lemon Haze. This would require reversing one of the parents. The complexity of a potential breeding scheme is as vast as it can also be simple in terms of population numbers, progeny testing, and such.
Also for consideration, DJ Short made something called Azure Haze back in in the day as his own take on Blue Dream, this being being mentioned as they are regular seeds compared to the aforementioned female cuttings. You can totally do something like that, a Blue Dream x SLH type hybrid, yourself with limited space and resources. Much love
What’s your objective in crossing this two lines? That’s maybe the more important question before jumping into it. Otherwise you might loose yourself in the project.
You just want “superbluelemondreamhaze”? You think they can mix well together? What would this mix produce in your opinion? You want to enhance one or more traits of one of them? You could start by listing what you like and dislike for each of them, then try from that to imagine what you would like the cross to be.
Also consider that given the parents, you’ll probably end up at first with a lot of instability, which can be an advantage (pheno hunting) or give you more work if you really wan to create a line.
@funkyfunk Thanks for your statements and questions…
Well at first I was out to make a cross, of 2 strains that I love to smoke on and that give me the effects of what I’m looking for.
They are both sativa dominant, which I like and as for the effects and medical properties, they are very similar. One leaning more relaxed and the other more energetic.
Both are very similar in THC% coming in around 18-19% which is a nice middle for me. I don’t like the super high potency strains as much.
Essentially, I would like to have a strain that runs right in the middle of the energy/relaxed trait and also tone down the negative affects of the SLH, such as anxious or paranoid effect, which I’m prone to
Thanks again for your input and forcing me to look a bit further into what I want out of the strain.
P.S. I love the smell of both of these strains! They get me super excited
If you’re going to do this, Franco’s cut of SLH x Blue dream (clone only) would be the best place to start IMO. They’re two great strains, I’ve got a soft spot for hazes and blueberry anything. Such happy highs, and the first time I grew my own haze (Amnesia), I was hooked on taste alone. I recently acquired Franco’s cut, no plans for it yet as it’s being stress tested and still small, but I may be able to help in some way down the line.
I did an unplanned pollination of a Sour Diesel x SSH F3 (haze dominant) x (Blueberry Muffin x Vintage Blueberry). Though it was done on a whim, it’s probably the beans I’m looking forward to the most. The fact that mom is the best looking outdoor plant I have is certainly helping her cause. While it’s different from what you’re looking for, I suspect you’d find something in the offspring that’s right up your alley. If I get enough viable beans, you’re welcome to take some for a spin.
I have tons of super lemon haze f6 if you find the blue dream cut I can send you some. I’ve used it in projects and it Carried over to the offspring very well
So many great ideas and suggestions!
Thank you all
Another question, which would you have be the male?
If I can only get fem seeds or a clone of BD, then the only choice is SLH as the male.
But how do you determine which way to go here
Also I’m thinking if I want to do this on my own, I’m thinking of doing small plants in like 1 gallon pots. I don’t think I would need to have 1000+ seeds
