Hey whats up everyone, I wanted to make seeds and I was wondering what you guys would do to breed your seeds.

I have a couple of great strains im working with and I wanted to know what the best offsprings would be.

Nirvana Northernlights(reg seeds)
Sannies Herijuana(reg seeds)
Sannies JackBerry F2(reg seeds)
Sannies Anesthesia (reg seeds)
Sannies Killing kush (reg seeds)

Sannies: http://www.sanniesshop.com/indica-mix.html
Nirvana: http://www.nirvanashop.com/en/regular-marijuana-seeds/774-northern-light-10-seeds.html

Both came in discrete envelopes, Nirvana offered replacement seeds for shitty results, and sannies offered replacements for cracked seeds. I would and will be ordering from both again if they got the strain I want.

Also any breeding advice is greatly appreciated. Do you think if I bred female strain A, and male strain B I would get better results then AA, BB(I might wanna make one batch of interbred herijuana)?

Im thinking Herijuana x Jackberry and or NL x Herijuana(Just to make a bunch of potent seeds(hopefully)).

just go for the best plants.............see which look strongest.........i made my own by crossing thc bomb with bubblegum...............i call it bubblebomb:weed: this 1 was done 12-12 from seed
Alright cool, would you reccomend using the fastest growing or the one with more trichomes?
What should I look out for in a plant that would hint bad germination rates and shitty buds(just basic grow/smoke tests?)?

I like that plant bro. Looks nice and fat. Short, but very dense and fat. Nice job.

peace.

So far I have been happy with the crosses I have been working on from Sannie's. I have crossed and recrossed their, El Monstre, Sannie's Jack and Lady Cane is my current project. They have been great at giving me advice in breeding, what crosses would help to strengthen the breed and such.
I just started Herijuana and Sannie Jack seeds again with the hope of refining these from Sannie's. I know or at least doubt I can improve on what Sannie and Escobar have done but with some time and luck they will give me many years of enjoyment growing them out. IBL is time consuming growing out plants but within a couple of years the rewards are wonderful.
Good Luck with your project

Anyone have any good breeding websites or anything that I can study more thoroughly.

Does anyone have experience breeding the same strain from any seedbanks?
Im wondering if breeding NL x NL will give me a bunch of shitty seeds(is it worth it to keep the NL alive)?
Or would I have to cross strains for the best results(making F1-F20s by back crossing with the original mother).

if you're into crossing strains and you think you can do it well, you should definitely go for it!
in answer to your question, cross the two strains that are the produced the thickest and most trichome-covered buds. those are obviously going to be the stronger genetics.
one more thing - how about crossing jackberry with a haze? the taste would be ridiculous and the high couldn't be beat by too many other strains! think about it, since the haze is smooth smoking and the jackberry is a little sweet!

A haze would be wonderful with Jackberry. I love the hazes that are purple.
So would do you think about interbreeding to keep the strains separete for feature uses?

So can anyone with breeding experience tell me expactly what to expect if I bred male and female northernlights together straight from Nirvana?
Would I get inconsistant results? Would the offspring be pure northernlights or some midget/dwarf northernlights?

Should I even hassle with breeding pure? Or should I skip that altogether?

someone just recommended a book by dj short when someone was asking this very same question on another forum m8, so i'd start to look there to be honest with yah as dj short seems to have his shit down for sure..
g/l on the venture.. :)

I'm pretty sure the first part of the name is from the mother and the last name comes from the father. I was told that's the industry standard for naming.

You ask a very good question about NL and the crosses of Jackberry, I starting trying to answer yesterday when I lost my connection. Ok first up is the NL from Nirvina Seeds. This can't truly be answered without knowing a few things about the strain. I have looked at their site and they do not tell you if the NL is a f1, 2 or 6 so the breeding question as to breeding pure is not answerable. If you are breeding a f1 then you are going to have many pheno resulting in the next generation. If it is a f2 and you breed them they will start showing more of the parents they came from. Then with each generation provided you are selecting the same pheno each time to breed you will see a more true strain start to emerge.
You ask if this is a waste of time? Not really but this just depends on what you want out of a grow, no one can answer this question but you and what you desire to achieve growing and breeding. Do you want a true breed? If yes talk to the breeder at Nirvina and ask what f type the plant is. If you just want to see want you can do and start from scratch breeding then you will spend several generations of growing to achieve this, but the rewards and knowledge gained is immeasureable.
Next question about breeding Jackberry to a Haze. You are taking a basically indica plant and crossing with a sativa, good hybrid but many many combos will emerge. So you need to ask yourself this, Do I want a haze pheno with jackberry or a jackberry with haze qualities. This basically is going to tell you which male to use to pollinate your female. My thought would be to use a Jackberry male to cross with the haze to produce the haze pheno and vice versa for jackberry. Then the fun starts picking suitable phenos in the next generation to backcross to. You also have to ask yourself what plant structure you are looking for or like in my case I am only looking for the flower and not worried about plant structure (breeding for a specific trait).
I would suggest to go with the purest strain you can find for the haze, something in the IBL area or at least a good f5 or better. You might consider crossing this back to a Sannie's Jack since it has some of her in the Jackberry. This might not be the exact cross you are looking for but the lineage lines up good to reduce the numbers in selecting.
Most seed companies are not interested in you making breeding stock out of their seeds and I think make it hard to accomplish this today. It has become a big money business with many strains, many breeders and not so many breeders which are concerned about passing on breeding genetics. Sannie and his crew actually encourage the breeding and their stocks have many f2s,3s,4s and such which lend themselves better for breeding your own seeds with the results you want. Also, I should point out that I have asked and received many helpful hints, how tos, which phenos breed best and such from the crew at Sannie's. They go out of their way to answer your questions and point you in the right direction.
I hope the ramble wasn't too boring or scared you off of trying the breeding. This sure gives me a reason to get up every morning and tend to my plant and has given me a goal to live for to see each cross come to the end I am looking for. Best advice, breed, breed and breed somemore. Take lots of notes of your crosses with pictures to keep in a file so you can see the results, phenos and what you did. The end result is less money to seed backs, more enjoyment to you and maybe some phenos that only you are lucky enough to have.

Alright sweet, thanks for the information. I was worried that IBL would cause mutations... Now I can breed with confidence.
