Hi
I'm involved in a breeding project whose main goal is to keep Mextiza alive and healthy. Mextiza is an old hybrid Cannabiogen used to sell. It is made with Oaxaca '79 and Nepal Jam and although it has got some hybridization (it is probably NOT a pure sativa), the effect is so sativish (energetic and happy - optimistic high) and the maturation is so fast that I feel in the need of preserving it for the future.
Since the Oaxaca '79 has been kept miraculously by mean of successive S1s, the resulting hybrid Cannabiogen sold was extremely endogamic. It is like a jewel from the past: smell, taste and effect are fucking awesome, but you can't just keep making F2, F3, F4 because they won't sprout. I believe this is the reason they discontinued this strain even with that much demand it had.
So, in order to keep its main characteristics, I'm working with seeds, cuts and everything people involved sent me. A good friend of mine sent me a couple of very special cuts that are famous in Spain for its sativa effect, so I've crossed Mextiza with them as well.
The most successful step I believe I made was to use an old special Jack Herer cut I had. It didn't add much character to the cross, since Mextiza is very dominant, but after crossing back a selected hybrid (Jack Mextiza) with a Mextiza male I got a very high germ rate. I'm growing these seeds at the moment, I call them Mextiza Rebuild since it is just one step in the direction I want.
These are the ones growing in the trays in the middle of the picture. They are about 45, and this one is a test grow. I want to see if these plants are as I expect and suitable for the next breeding step.
I know this picture isn't especially impressive, but this is just the first post in a long series of posts. I'll upload more pictures with the different steps and crosses I perform, during the next months.
Cheers
