Cheese breeding project (part 2)

[Rockster]

Dang, you crossed, seeded and started those babies already? That was fast!

How are the mom's doing?

My Mums are fine KT and have 12 Cheese clones rooting so plenty for the backcross and for pollination for the first S1 seeds.

My new ringflash turned up today so will be able to use my macro lens properly now.

Man, youve got bud and camera porn going on in here.

No wonder youre so popular.

 

[Rockster]

Hi KT mate,

a few pics of the new cross which is starting to differentiate and show sex as they've been started on 12/12.:watchplant:

 

[Newbud]

Wow your plants look healthy.

 

[Rockster]

Why thankyou kindly Newbud mate.

I'm starting some Oldtimers Original Haze seeds today to find a male for a true Haze/Cheese hybrid which should make for an interesting backcross.:watchplant:

 

[KeepsTen]

So what are you trying to do exactly? Taking a ton of different strains, polinating your "experiment" then crossing it back with the mother (cheese)?

Cause, if thats what youre doing, thats pretty sick. Either way, looks great man. How much would you expect from a plant that size? Seeds/bud.

those macro shots are gorgeous and nice framing on the seeds pic. What your doing is sooo awesome and I'm learning a bunch on how to breed, I cant wait to see the results especially with that lens

 

[Rockster]

Hi KT and Big Blunt,

I'm trying to breed the UK Cheese clone with Skunk #1(and maybe others) and also am reversing it so as to self pollinate to produce S1 seeds which will be further worked with in the search for the Cheese chemotype in seed form.

But the Haze is something on the side as I've been gifted these Oldtimers Original Haze beans and could do a backcross with a pure Haze which could be very very interesting as the Cheese high is really quite different as not only did the taste mutate,so did the cannabinoid profile as it's a spontaneous mutation or 'sport',something that happens in nature quite often and is part of the driving force of evolutionary change methinks with small random mutations and this I think is an instance of it.

So it's all about the Cheese but with the Haze a synergy of highs in a successful cross could be very special.

A few pics of the 1988 Cheese F1 x 2008 Skunk #1 Ibl at @4 weeks 12/12 from seed.:watchplant:

Well Rockster, those look amazing. A beautiful shade of green. I really wish I could taste some!? Very interesting, I'm learning alot. Thanks Mate! By the way, I've always heard that the seeds you want to use to grow are the ones with tiger stripes or the darker ones. I see you have one there that is pretty light colored. Whats are your thoughts on that?

 

[swiftgt]

intresting project, what are the advantages of getting the Cheese chemotype?

 

[Rockster]

Hi powerplanter,

as regards seed colour I don't place much on it as seeds come in all types but obviously larger darker seeds are better than smaller paler ones from the same strain.

Hi Swiftgt,

not so much an advantage but that I'm trying to get the resin profile of the Cheese clone into seed form and thats not easy as its thought to be heterozygous for the Cheese trait,it's hybrid as opposed to homozygous or truebreeding for that particular trait,at least thats my take on things?

A few pics of one of the 4 breeder boys.:hubba:

lol hey rockster mate you lost me from swiftgt onwards

rofl

uk420maan

looking great btw

 

[swiftgt]

sounds like you have alot of backcrossing and cubing to do!
and
it will be hard to find the males with the trates you want if the genes you are looking for are recessive in the males!
the resin profile of the Cheese strain,are the genes recessive or dom?
those males look nice and healthy!

 

[Rockster]

Hi swiftgt,

I'm trying to preserve the Cheese female genes in the cross rather than the Sk#1 male traits.

A few close ups of the Cheese/Sk#1 cross.

 

[Newbud]

Still lost but i'm trying lol.
Think i slowly getting some of it.
I'm sure once i read, re-read, and read this thread another 100 times i will have got it sorted in my head lol.
Cracking pics buy the way

 

[Rockster]

Hi Newbud,glad you like the pics.

Just put 10 Lowryder 2 in to soak as I'll be crossing a male with the Cheese for the start of breeding an autoflowering Cheese strain.Dunno if it's doable but we won't know without trying eh? :watchplant:

 

[swiftgt]

well i had a read of the stickys here
http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=45
very usefull,cheak it out newbud!
looking good rockster,
i didnt know you already had crossed your cheese with skunk no1
so thats your own breed rockster?

Well i guessing if it can be done then you'll probably manage it lol.
Good luck

Trying to learn how to grow before i take on too much fella lol,
I keep coming here cos its easier to take in over time, plus i love the porn, and the knowledge, lol.

"Just put 10 Lowryder 2 in to soak as I'll be crossing a male with the Cheese for the start of breeding an autoflowering Cheese strain.Dunno if it's doable but we won't know without trying eh"

im sure its do-able rockster
so keep it up! maybe you will be selling seeds one day!
id like to try crossing some autos with other larger strains to try to get a larger non dwarf auto flowering strain,
