does yield affect potency

Ive locked down a few traits within a line myself but I dont feel like I have maintained an optimal level of genetic diversity breeding with less than 100 plants at a time and when you have to focus on finding plants with multiple traits it gets harder than selecting for say the single most resinous or colorful plant. just my experience and what I know from standard agricultural breeding practices.

I mostly breed for potency and that doesn't mean high THC numbers, I breed for the high, complex euphoric highs that you would remember if you smoked weed in the 70's (why I call it da grandpa weed) and the way I do things goes against most standard agricultural breeding practices.

Do I need glacier water or polar bear piss for the root boiling?

No polar bear piss or cat piss. Only cat piss if you have that strain. The polar bear is for blessing the plant but it is said that their urine has the key to unlocking 2g per watt and 50% thc. Root boiling happens as soon as you see the first bud only use gargled lumberjack spit tho or you will kill your baby

When you say multiple traits... What are the trains you are looking for? Fast flowering et?

When you say breeding, do you mean male + female to make seeds?


How do you judge a plants "traits" how different will each seed be from the next?? I mean.. I have 8 mothers at the moment all critical kush. I made so many mother because I was phenotype hunting... But to tell you the truth... They are all very similar??

I haven't flowered them yet... So I have no idea what the stone will be like... But is that where you judge.. On the smoke and not the plant??

Both, but mostly the smoke/high. Plant traits like turns purple, internode spacing, branching, finish times, etc Some breed for smell and taste, I could care less about that. I breed for the high, complex, euphoric, long lasting etc

I see... I am inexperienced when it comes to phenotypes... However I have read that you want to find the "best one".


What traits should I be looking out for?


Thanks again for the excellent info :)
