That's what I'm doing, producing thousands. I've also pollinated small areas but it's just to finicky for me when I need a higher production rate. To mine the DNA of any of the current plants and find keepers takes running about 100 seeds.
I only grow indoor and I work toward pain relief strains. I hope you get the mold resistance you are looking for. I assume you mean botrytis?
I have many that got away LOL!
Yup, good outdoor botrytis resistance in a potent nice smelling late September outdoor plant is the holy grail I'm seeking.
Been thinking of ordering some seeds from Beanhoarder to recreate the "one that got away" . Had a Jack Herer x PCK that I crossed with an Iranian years ago that was exemplary in every way. I could literally feel the energy of the plant when I'd visit it in the bush years ago...(okay maybe it was the joint I smoked on the trek in)
Tried popping seeds from the same batch, over several years and got close, but due to the genetic variation within the Jack Herer (?) about 8 out of 10 were not even a close pheno. Those seeds are gone now, but I think Hemp Depot still has one half of the cross in a freezer and I've got Iranian seeds kicking around somewhere.... Got lucky once....maybe again.
If you pop a hundred seeds from the same pollination, about how many pheno types would you expect to see and do the ones that look alike smell, taste and behave alike ?
