Breeding Super Lemon Haze

Probably the most potent mostly-sativa strain out now. Winning the Cannabis Cup two times in a row is not an easy task. Since we have that strain available, why not breed it and create more powerful strain? Maybe breeding it with one of the most potent allround body buzzer indica would make the ultimate strain. Like Sensi Star or White Rhino. Any ideas?

a few reasons. First Greenhouse seeds make them, and where I live should be ideal for their hazes, but unfortuantly they stress so easily out here I have to kill most of them that I grow. That being said its the only plant I have that didn't finish flowering a month ago and it wont finish until much later here. Third Greenhouse seeds NEVER seem to be as potent as my other stuff. Except my church I really like, but because of hermie probs (especially with my super lemon haze which I have to check last one all the time) I dont have my hopes up on it when it finishes in the next few months. I would love to breed some hybrid crosses for myself, but i'll never do that with seeds from Greenhouse Seeds. My experience has taught me not to grow them or I wind up disapointed and angry after putting lots of love and life into it. I'd rather grow subcools and reserva privadas stuff. So far their stuff has proven to be awsome in hawaii.

Super Lemon Haze is great. It is killer potent, easy to grow and very heavy.Now I only grow indoor but if I lived in Hawaii, I would be growing some local heirlom strains. Haze is an equatorial sativa strain wich are known to be hermi, its their nature. Seed producers try to breed it out but when you put any plant in the right (wrong) environment it will throw pollen sacs or bananas.
 
super lemon haze is only availible in feminised form (to my knowledge anyway) so it would have to be pollinated (unless you had one that was mildly hermaphroditic?).Given that situation the resulting seeds should then bear more resemblance to the mother (S.L.H.). its also an f1 so it may not breed its (wanted) traits too well either and so backcrossing mightnt work too well either but im a bit unsure about the backcrossing bit.

Perhaps given the known heritage of the mum and dad, if one were to have a preferance to either line I.E. Lemon skunk, one could use a male from this line (or from Super silver haze if you prefer) to essentially backcross a nice super lemon haze female with your preferred male. This would / could give fairly similar weed as your (probably, assuming you use the originals) not adding any new genetic material just reworking what you already have, like a ball of clay. Also if you pick a nice super lemon haze female with a tendency to display more super silver haze characteristics or phenotypes and you wish to use super silver haze as a male for initial backcross this will make your plants lean more in the direction of SSH, as you are 'selecting' for those characteristics or qualities and vice versa (doing the same with lemon skunk will have similar effect)
 
doing a backcross like this would also make the genetics your working with more homogenous (desireable for producing variety's/strains) and better for breeding with, as it would carry its characteristics better than an f1 (like the s.l.h. alone as it sold) would. this initial bx or perhaps with a 2nd should be enough to make it a fairly desireable breeding genepool provided you got enough seeds. The million dollar question is which plant to bx slh with? the lemon skunk or the super silver haze? anybody know if lemon skunk is an ibl? this is better for breeding really
 
yeah it it tasty stuff, best time I got it (never grown her) it was quite late harvested and looked quite sativa despit fairly dense ,(not to mention) dank nugs.
 
I was thinking of crossing SLH with Bulldog seeds The Chronic. Then Maybe growing that out for a few generations so the key traits can bloom out because you know some traits dont come out the first generation. Then taking that Super Chronic Haze and crossing it with a true Sour Diesel to ultimately make a Super Sour Chronic. Now if that SSC turns out how i want it after a few seasons i would cross it with an ice strain to get it super frosty and call it Iced Lemonade. I might have to back cross Super Sour Chronic with SLH to get that lemon smell to really come out so i could call the SSC x Ice = Iced Lemonade. Just a little bit of stoner dreams.

I was tempted to buy some SLH at the Greenhouse Coffeeshop last July, but just could NOT bring myself to buy anything from Arjan....the King of selling other peoples genetics. I bought some Lemon Haze from a little known shop outside the Centrum and they're in their 6th week of flowering now. They were regular seeds, but I didn't get a MALE...so I pollinated with Mosca's Cinderella 99 (they don't seem very different) and intend to backcross later. The growth and flowering pattern is VERY Sativa, covered with trichomes and the smell ranges from lemony to pineapple. I'm guessing they have about 4 weeks to go, but don't really know.

It might be nice to breed SLH with something that has a shorter flowering time. I would try out using other male pollen and spray down some of the SLH bud with colloidal silver as to collect some feminized SLH pollen. Just my 2 cents.
