Ok question folks.
I popped a few roadkill unicorn f2 seeds picked the best female and best male.
Left the male in my flower cabinet and open pollinated my entire crop.
The rku female has the nicest smell and I'd love to try to make more of her.
The seed she is full of are now considered an f1 of an f2 ibl?
If I found the same pheno in the progeny and I hit it with dad pollen it should still up the chance of getting more of my chosen pheno?

The F2 x F2=F3 if they were from the same source/cross
If you take one of those F3's and hit it back to the F2 father that's a back cross. not sure if there's a clear definition of when it becomes an IBL
I find the back crossed seeds are pretty consistent expressions but not necessarily a representation of the mother. Anyone else seeing this in back crosses?

It was f2 x f2
So those f3 should have a 25% chance of mom leaner 25% dad leaner and 50% grandparents?
Trying to lock in on this pheno for less randomness.

I believe that's the theory, of course sometimes theory means sh-t ;) That's part of the fun imo, you never know when you'll hit that special pheno. But it's like the lottery, if you don't play, you can't win ;)

Ugh this thread makes me want to buy a 3x3 chucking tent (loveshack) so badly.
Bro do it! You got enough fire in your collection I'm sure to make some nice chucks.
Gorilla makes a mini that's about a 1' x 1' with a 20" ceiling (with the extension piece)
It's a novelty tent and the intent was a demo I believe, but the thing is 100% kicking ass as a mini breeding tent. I use 3 of them for small side projects.
Probably way over priced for that lil ass tent. Get a cheap 2x4 & turn it on its side now you have a 4 x 2.

IMG_1556.JPG IMG_1606.JPG IMG_1605.JPG This is the Honeybee5 growing outside for the first time. Just planted a clone , the saddest one I had actually, outside in our garden row. First year garden too and she's had nothing but water. I'm kind of surprised she's doing this well. I'm either going to have to build a fence or dig her up and transplant to an inside pot

And definitely add a breeding tent...most of these seed companies are glorified chuckers and we all can make $200 packs ourselves. (i mean after youve invested in at least a couple solid genetics) That's what I've learned the past year growing $100-250 packs compared to $25-50-free dollar packs...it's all the same... everyone's mixing the same elite cuts it's no secret anymore. Almost half of my keepers are from gen stash and I know I'd have more going if I badgered him for gear but I don't like to ;) excited to run a new strain for him

That looks exactly like my outdoor honeybee f3 plant... to a Tupperware.

Thanks for that pic..

And yes,that's why I chuck , cause it's all the same damn thing.... just way cheaper.

At one time I was bidding on packs of seeds.. 400+$$
Buying every pack that came out...staying up to the wee hours of the night..just to grab a pack.

-20k & a tackle box full of seeds... shame on me.

Chuck Norris on chucks...have a chucking good time

All I need is a male and my chucking will kick off. Have a keeper Grand Lemon Reserve, Koffee Face, Motorbreath, Triangle Mints, Sour Dubb, Chocolate Trip, and Watermelon Zkittles. Plus I have 3 female White Cherry Truffle and one Rainbow Flame. So first first male I find will hit all these fine women..
