In-Depth Information
Just make sure that the male plants and the female plants are together
from only the same strain batch. Do not introduce another strain into
the pack. If you only have Silver Haze in your grow room, then all you
need are some males and females. By letting the males pollinate the
females you will get Silver Haze seeds. But you will loose some of the
features that the original parent plants had in the selection of
offspring, unless the strain you got was an IBL.
HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE HYBRID
It is easy, just take a male plant from one strain and a female
from the other. Say Big Bud and Skunk. The result will be BIG BUD
X Skunk, but there will be differences in the pack. Some of the plants
will lean more in the BIG BUD direction and some in the Skunk
direction. Some variations that where not present in the parents may
also appear (if the parents where not both IBL). If you want to
concentrate on creating more seeds so that they ONLY go in one
direction (creating uniform plants) then you need to read more in this
chapter.
AN INTRODUCTION INTO BASIC GENETICS
Genetics are somewhat difficult to understand at first so it is
best if we give you a grounding in some of the breeding concepts
mentioned in this chapter.
We will start by first explaining what a couple of words mean.
These words will appear throughout this chapter so it is best to define
them at this point.
