Hello everyone,
I want to ask the opinions of the growers and breeders in the community as I’m sure you all will have insight for me. I’ve purchased some F1 seed from Gu at greenpoint seeds. It’s his stardawg male crossed with cookies n cream from Exotic Genetix. Now, my question; is doing an F2 pheno hunt worth my time? I could potentially pop 25-50 seeds at one time. Are those numbers large enough to find something exceptional? Should I open pollinate, watching to cull any plants with strange flowers? Or should I be more selective and only allow one or two males? What are some good methodologies to finding a lovely mother? Am I being stupid and I should just grow my F1s and pick my favorites from there?
Let me know what you all think!
I posted this in the FAQ and I didn’t get any responses so I’m posting this here now.
