So the title pretty much says it all, shiatsu kush is fairly new but has amazing structure and high it was was made to relieve pain and literally work on pressure points, Krakatoa is hybrid with exceptional taste and anytime high. Thoughts on what this combo will make? Does it matter which strain I make the male or female to get certain traits? I'm new to breeding. Any thoughts are welcome just please don't be a dick, there's enough drama in all our lives without more. Thanks for responses in advance :joint:

i have no idea what it will make, its not exactly like pokemon.. but it sounds crazy and if the cannabis was good from the parents the prodigy will probably be the same. but that names a mouthful. as for the which strain is the parent, more often than not the children will lean towards the pollen bearers side of the genetics.
 
I'm going to cross the Shiatsu w/ a certain Diesel mother and see what I end up with. Let's just hope one of my seeds pops balls... It should be pretty clear what I think about your question.
 
Also, it's said to have hints of Vanilla and Cedar... Therefore I may also cross it with a Girl Scout Cookies mother to add to both strains' pastry allure. As for what you'll get? Who knows. INTERESTING range of possibilities though.

That's what I was thinking, what I'm hoping for is the Krakatoa's color, smell, and taste, then I want the kush structure, yield, and effect. I highly doubt I get exactly what I want though lol
 
A breeder of some note, made comment to me once saying. If I take 1 strain, say Blueberry for example, and cross it with skunk. Aren't the children going to be the same as if I put a bud of each of the parent strain in a bowl and smoked it?
 
On the surface, it almost sounds like and intelligent statement. You might think why wouldn't that be more or less true. And in some cases it could be.

But you might want to compare it to say, if Clark Garble, and May West had a child together, wouldn't that be the same as half of each parent? Well, it would actually, but the genetics of the child might recombinate in a number of different manners. Giving you something different from the parents. Some traits maybe there but accented, or declined, or changed, or rearranged into something else. Or you simply don't finish what you've started.



It might be something good or bad, that's why you might get lucky, or you might breed for a long time and not really care for your results.



A lot of breeders will immediatly stop when they hit something that looks inferior. And go off in another direction. The problem with this type of breeding is recessive genes. A line of whatever measure, can be set up to crap the next generation. Or the reverse, you might have grown some females, that weren't that good. But the inbreeding, to the next generation, show them to be terrific.

One of the main causes of this is "instability" meaning genetic integrity is fluid at different points before and if it becomes stable.

And one of the main causes of instability is. The type of breeding, where you drop what your doing at the first sign of decline and run off to something else.

My experience tells me that a hybridized strain for the most part doesn't really become stable until you reach about f12. Most people aren't even going to get there probably, to even see if they are totally succesfull.

yes there will often be several pheno in the F1 generation.

but you will see the most variation in the second cross.

i disagree on one thing with vincont tho, it depends on what degree you want to take a stabilized strain, if you want single phenotypical expression yeah you will probably have to go over the F6 range, but in most cases this is not ideal, favorable, or even a common naturally occurring thing.

You can get exactly what you want. It's going to take a lot of time and breeding though... And when you find what you want after months of breeding and selection, you clone that baby so that you have 10 mothers, and wa'allah.

What exactly has to be done to stabilize it when I get what I want?

Honestly never got around to this. A bunch of things came up. I still intend on doing it however. And soon
