This is a real breeding method I came up with.
It’s called Weave Breeding™, and The Stink Bank and I are just now beginning to bring it to life.
I’ve been thinking about this method for years.
Not because I wanted to be first — but because I knew it was the right way to work genetics with direction.
Now I’m ready to spend the rest of my life focused on it.
I’m not trying to be the greatest.
I just want to do it right — so that humans who are born after me,
who pick up my generations of work,
can take it even further, carry the legacy, and keep building with clarity and purpose.
If one day they talk about Weave Breeding,
and someone says,
“How about Purple Flamethrower?”
That’s all I could ever ask for.
This is my life’s work.
And it starts here.

Why This Matters
When you spend money on seeds, you want to get a lot of winners.
That’s how I feel.
I’m not trying to make packs full of maybe.
I’m trying to make packs where every seed is a winner.
That takes a lot of testing.
That takes a lot of line breeding.
But Weave Breeding™ is the specific part of line breeding that I created.
It’s the part where you don’t just move forward.
You fold back — to either parent — every generation, intentionally.
That’s the weave.
⸻
How Weave Breeding™ Works (Simple)
You start with two parents.
Then every generation, you pick the best plants and fold it back into either one of the original parents, or something from the same genetics of the best current version.
It’s an unpredictable grain that can be shaped — not a straight line.
You’re not just moving forward.
You’re weaving direction into the future by always folding back with intention.
⸻
Grape Snowcone – The Example We’re Using
Cherry Snowcone (clone-only) × Grape Mayweather (F1 male)
= Grape Snowcone (regular seeds)
That’s the base cross. This whole thread uses this one cross to show how Weave Breeding works.
⸻
STEP 1 – I Pop and Hunt
I pop the Grape Snowcone seeds.
Now I hunt.
From here, I could:
• Find a female, and fold the line that way.
• Find a male, and fold the line that way.
• Or find both, and do something even deeper.
You have options in Step 1.
⸻
If I find a male Grape Snowcone I want to use, I could:
• Hit a sister from the same seed run to make an F2
• Hit the actual Cherry Snowcone (original parent) — a backcross
• Hit the best current version of Cherry Snowcone genetics — not technically a BX, but close
• Hit the best current version of Grape Mayweather genetics — again, not a BX, but is close
These three (excluding the F2) are all valid ways to start a weave.
You can even do all four in the same batch if that’s what the moment calls for.
The goal is to create as many paths as possible to work with,
while keeping the best main grain worth breeding at the moment —
in this example, that’s Cherry Snowcone and Grape Mayweather.
⸻
If I only find a female Grape Snowcone, I could:
• Reverse that female and hit Cherry Snowcone (original parent) — a backcross
• Hit the female Grape Snowcone with reversal pollen from Cherry Snowcone (original parent) — a backcross
• Reverse that female Grape Snowcone and hit Grape Mayweather not technically a BX, but close
• Hit the female Grape Snowcone with reversal pollen from Grape Mayweather not technically a BX, but close
• make s1 Grape Snowcone
⸻
If I make an F2 or s1, that’s not a fold — thats a side shoot.
It becomes its own potential weave if I choose to build it later.
The other options — the folds toward the original parents or their true-line current superior equivalents —
are how you start a Weave Breed™.
But here’s the key:
It doesn’t truly become a Weave Breed™ until it folds in from both sides at some point down the line.
That could mean folding one direction multiple times before switching.
That’s totally valid.
But to call it a true Weave Breed™, both parents have to be worked into the grain intentionally —
That takes generation to do.
That’s the core principle:
Two directions. One grain.
– Fold It One Way or the Other
Fold Toward Cherry Snowcone (TLDR diagram graph below)
• Take a male from Grape Snowcone and hit the Cherry Snowcone (weave breeding step which is also a Bx in this case) or also while at it hit Grape Mayweather the best versions currently (weave breeding step but not a Bx in this case) [aswell as making f2 Grape Sniw Cone] bonous for grain side shoots
Or If doing fem
• Reverse Cherry Snowcone keeper cut onto the Grape Snowcone new keeper (weave breeding step which is also a Bx in this case) [& bonous onto itself to make s1 Cherry Snow Cone which is a side shoot, also to hit Grape Mayweather keepers for feminized r1 crosses of Grape Snowcone] bonous
• Reverse Grape Mayweather best current winner onto Grape Snow Cone new winner (weave breeding not a Bx in this case) [(& grape Mayweather for bonous s1 or Fem f2 if different pheno,) & Cherry Snow Cone for a feminized cross of Grape Snowcone]bonuses (this option has no Bx involved in any part)
• Or reverse the Grape Snowcone keeper female onto the Cherry Snowcone (weave breeding step which is also a Bx in this case) or Grape Mayweather clone-only/best version or both. (Start of weave breeding but not a Bx)
That’s all Weave Breeding while making side shoots.

All of the above are part of Weave Breeding
-
Each path also creates side grain options to explore later
Fold Toward Grape Mayweather
• Use the same F1 Grape Mayweather male again.
• Or any other plant from the Grape Mayweather line —
as long as it’s from the same real line and it’s the best one you can pick right now.
It doesn’t have to be the same cut.
But it has to be from the same genetic base and selected with purpose.
⸻
STEP 3 – The Stink Bank’s Turn
After I make that generation, The Stink Bank pops the next batch.
• He hunts through 500+ seeds.
• He finds his keeper.
• if he finds the right male, he can fold it in multiple directions at once:
• Hit Cherry Snowcone with that male
• Hit Grape Mayweather with that male
• Hit a sister from the same generation to make the F2
If it folds back toward one or both of the original sides — it’s Weave Breeding™
If it doesn’t fold at all — it’s not a weave
Only the folds that go back to either side — or both — count.
⸻
STEP 4 – I Weave the Grain Forward
Now I take the seeds he made.
I pop them.
I hunt again.
Same method:
• Fold back to Cherry Snowcones best potential genetic at the time
• Fold back to Grape Mayweathers best potential genetic at the time
• Or both
• Or bonous while at it make a purposeful F2 or s1 and decide how to carry it forward
When two folds come in from opposite sides onto each other —
that creates one full weave thread.
That’s what defines the main grain of the line:
a directional, intentional path being built with purpose.
That’s what separates Weave Breeding™ from regular backcrossing.
It’s built on the logic of a BX, but it’s two-dimensional instead of one —
with more freedom, more structure, and more possibility and potential for greater pure lines and to work them for longer and in your own direction while still Weaving.
And it doesn’t even have to include a BX at all —
but it can, when that makes sense.
Sometimes, you’ll fold in the same direction more than once before switching.
That doesn’t break the weave.
That’s part of the unpredictable grain — the pattern that only reveals itself
as you work the line and feel where it wants to go.
Because Weave Breeding™ isn’t about forcing anything.
It’s about movement with meaning.
The grain forms as you go —
not by force,
but by feel.
⸻
Weave Patterns – Different Ways to Do It
Pattern A – One Each Way
Snowcone > Mayweather > Snowcone > Mayweather
Pattern B – Same Side Twice
Snowcone > Snowcone > Mayweather
Pattern C – 3:1 or Any Combo
Snowcone > Mayweather > Mayweather > Snowcone
Any ratio works — just keep folding it back with intention.
⸻
Main Grain & Side Grains
This Grape Snowcone project is the main grain.
It’s the core path of intentional folds toward the original parents.
But along the way, if I make an F2 or s1 and find something fire — that can become a new Weave Breed line on its own.
That’s a side grain.
A side grain can become its own main grain if you work it.
Just like a clone can outgrow the original seed it came from if you focus on it.
If it’s worth the effort, you treat it like a new tree — a new main grain.
You fold it.
You work it like it deserves to be worked.
That’s how living genetics become legacy.
⸻
The Bigger Picture
We’re not doing this just to sell seeds.
We’re doing this because it’s how I want to be remembered.
I want Weave Breeding™ to be my mark in cannabis breeding.
Not because I want to be the greatest,
but because I want to build something people can keep using long after I’m gone.
Something solid.
Something real.
Something that gives direction to the people coming next.
If one day, someone’s deep into breeding and they ask,
“Who really started this method?”
and someone answers,
“How about Purple Flamethrower?”
That’s all I need.
⸻
Why I Won’t Sell Just Anything
Seeds are expensive.
A lot of breeders just fem hype strains and push out 10 seeds with no testing and no keepers.
That’s not what I’m about.
The only seeds I feel good charging for are my Weave Bred lines.
Lines where every seed has the potential to be $20 a gram flower — or more.
If it doesn’t meet that standard, I won’t release it.
That’s the bar.
⸻
Final Word
We don’t just cross.
We don’t just hunt.
We fold.
We shape grains.
We build legacy.
We do it right.
This is Weave Breeding™.
We’re just getting started.
