1st question is, what are your goals ? Answering this will set your path and get you started.

Getting and reading the Breeders Bible is a good start. I also enjoy reading articles by DJ Short.

as example, my goal was to bring back the high I remembered from the 70's so I purchased several old strains like Northern Lights #1 and started crossin em

Ultimate goal would be to make my own crosses and to start up my own company,and to make sure that they my crosses stayed EXTREMELY affordable,or free to all.
I'm just tired of people taking advantage of others.Especially those who are sick and can't fend for themselves.I mean I read for months to find something that would work for my health issues and found the true og by Elemental Seeds.I purchased 2 packs at 106$ per pack 6 fems each,and they looked AWESOME throughout veg 9 days of 12/12 bam.hermies everywhere.I'm not the best ,but I've been taking care of my meds myself.Anyway but for now just like to learn and dabble.

In that case you simply need to start with a few stable strains and start crossin em

a good male goes a long way

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED A GOOD MALE NOW DO YOU CROSS A CHOSEN MALE WITH A FEMALE OF THE SAME GENETICS OR DIFFERENT GENETICS AND THEN CROSS THE SIBLINGS SEE THATS WHERE I GET LOST THEN YOU HAVE TO STABILIZE AND XX AND YY THIS AND THAT I JUST GET LOST AND CONFUSED

Same strain crosses to stabilize the strain. Which also includes backcrossing to the original mom or dad. Cross with a different strain to create a new strain.

Best way to start is to obtain 2 different strains (reg seeds) then grow out several, pick the best lookin male and cross it to the best lookin female. And by best lookin, I mean what "you" are lookin for, could be size, branching, internode distance, vigor or all of the above.

Now you have lots of free seeds you can pheno hunt with to find the fire. The fire is mostly based on the smoke, the smell, the taste, the high. You take clones of these but only keep the ones that pass the "what I'm looking for" test.

Once you have done this with 2 different strains you can now cross em to create a new strain and the process starts all over. It takes years to make a stable strain. IMO there are a lot of F1 pollen chuckers in todays seed market, there are simply too many strains poppin up recently for them to have gone thru the rigors of true breeding. So you have need to be careful with your choices, as you have already seen.

It took me 3 years to get my STP to an F3 and I have spent 2 years taking my CTF to F3, I will have F4 CTF's by the end of this year. I have made many new ones but only worked a few that were deserving, hell I have 40 or more that I've never grown LOL

Yeppers, I get a lot of PM's :) and if you're in Colorado getting some of mine is easy, if not it's a little harder. But I have had folks come from 6 different States and 2 different countries just to visit :)
