clark, this is exactly what i was looking for, would have loved wore indept detail but still gr8
so let me ask you. do you store all the seed together
and do you grow a seed from each new batch and mate them the same ways
I keep seeds seperate from each couple(F1).
I will grow out the next batch of seeds(f2)
and try to find the traits I want. I will then take a male and a female f2 and make seeds, f3. I take the best f3 female and dust it with the F1 male. The seeds are then BX1, back cross 1. I go through it all again until I get the traits I want.
Another way to do this also, is to take the male and female(F1's) and make seeds(f2).
Grow the f2's out, pick the ones that have what you want and make seeds from them(f3).
Keep doing this until you get to f4 or f5, I have what I want by then.
Hope that helps. You can always google it too.
