Creating your own strain?

So I live way up north around Maine. I grew a couple of bag seeds that were hearty and survived freezing temps at night and 50s during the day as seedlings. They are really potent bag seeds and I have two of them. They haven't hit maturity yet. Let's say one is female and the other is male. I can obviously make more seeds by introducing them to each other. I also have a green crack and white widow OG growing. Assuming one bagseeds is male and I keep them separate and take a qtip to pollinate a few white widow and a few green crack buds for future seeds, how can I stabilize both sets of seeds to create my own two strains

You could just cross em 1 and 1 but you should be working them over generations also 1 and 1 matings arent the best for the long term health of a line its a numbers game more is better ideally it be hundreds of thousands not hundreds or in the tens sad fact is most dont breed most just make targeted pollen chucks like your talking about you need a eye for selection and know what your doing to do it right also not every line works out right and if you make a wrong choice you may need to back track again and go back a few gens its alot of work thats why few breed lines most just make poly hybrid crosses or f1s for that reason it takes alot of time and effort to do right

One doesn't need to be male.
You can reverse either if their both female.
And self pollinate or cross pollinate and have fem seeds.
Aye you right there many go that route too also its a good way to go as well if u wanna open a genepool up and take a look at whats there

How would you know they are realy potent flower before smoking the seed plants ? The only way to know exactly what each parent passes on is try it and test the results. If your results are very good and all the seeds in the results are coming out great well then you have great parents.
If you found seed in dispensary weed its probably from pollen from a female or herm bannana pollen so you probaly wont have a male. Hopefully though fingers crossed you find a male in your collection and then can get cracking and have a bit of fun. Good luck.
