While doing my research, I came across several strains that were labeled 'psychedelic'.

One of the clearest patterns I encountered almost immediately is the frequency with which Haze-derived and tropical cannabis populations appear among strains described as psychedelic, trippy, or unusually perceptual.

ACE Seeds alone provides numerous examples, including Golden Tiger, Panama Haze, Haze × Kali China, Honduras × Panama, Kerala Chellakutti, Killer A5 Haze, Kullu, Thai × Panama and Zamaldelica.

Similar examples occur elsewhere.

Cosmic Wisdom Seeds has Neville's Hindu Haze. Hyp3rids has released lines such as Bouillon Haze, Colombian Gold Legacy Edition, Kona Gold IBL and Lava Haze. Silverback Genetics includes Australian Haze, Blood Haze, C5 BC and Espíritu de Oaxaca.

Older or geographically rooted populations also repeatedly appear in this group. Examples include Burmese, Highland Lao, Kerala and Odisha from The Real Seed Company; Kirivong, Ko Chang and Kroeng Krawia from Zomia Collective; and historical lines associated with Thai, Oaxacan, and Burmese ancestry.

The pattern becomes more interesting when modern hybrids are considered.

Strains recorded with psychedelic-type descriptions include Platinum Tiger Cookies from AlpinStash, Frozen Black Cherry from Anesia Seeds, Sour Chiesel from Big Buddha Seeds, Cherry Gar-See-Ya from Ethos Genetics, Exotic Biscotti from Exotic Seed, Gazzurple from Humboldt Seed Company, XXX OG from Maven Genetics, Peanut Butter Apricot from Staefli Farms Genetics and Nova Cane from Team Elite Genetics.

Other examples span very different breeding programs:

Bodhi Seeds: Laughing Lemon, Zap
Freeworld Genetics: Delhi Dog, Dog Whisperer, Goat Killer, Jam Sandwich, Red Dawn
Dynasty Genetics: Huckleberry DesTar, Ms. Universe
Pura Mana Pakalolo: Galactica, Puna Buddaz
Snow High Seeds: 3x Purple, Kaleidos Dope
Kingdom Organic Seeds: Cindy Congo, Riff Raff Thai
Maha Kala Seeds: Acid Beauty, Asian Neville, New Caledonia #4 Haze

The diversity is substantial, but so is the repeated appearance of Haze, Southeast Asian, Central American, South American and African ancestry within the wider group.

An idea came to mind. I have a pack of regular seeds that I would like to continue to keep growing. I pop the seeds, select the best male based on vigor/size/etc, collect the pollen, and use that to get seeds from the best female selected. This would provide at least a few more dozen seeds, which I would assume are viable and don't have negative consequences regarding things like herming and whatnot. I use those seeds to continue growing the strain I like and repeating the process for more seeds later.

Of course cloning a specific plant I like is always an option as well (which I've also never done). Anyways, I don't see an beginners explainer thread or anything on this subreddit and was wondering if anyone can point to a breeding/cloning for dummies thread/youtube video.

Thanks yall

hello this is my first time crossing plants.
unfortunately (or fortunately) my pure michigan turned male. as soon as i noticed i pollinated a branch of white truffle then tossed it. so then i had just white truffle & zkittlez in the same tent which makes me assume the one seed i got from zkittlez would be pm x zk?
anyway i planted it just cuz why not & now its like really looking good. i even took 6 clones due to how well it is performing. so now i got hundreds of pm x wt seeds & then this zk pm thing going on. do i bother putting so much work into this plant if i only got one seed or would it make more sense to pop a bunch of the wt seeds so i can phenohunt & whatnot ? idk this is all very new & im not sure what im doing but i would love to be able to learn so much more.

summary: continue zk x pm? (looks great but only one seed) orrrrr start wt x pm (many many seeds but zkpm looks great & kinda far along)

THANKS FOR READING IF YOU DID❤️

I’ve been working a different approach with genetics lately—breaking lines down into components instead of trying to lock down one single phenotype.I’m looking to collaborate with someone who is currently sitting on high-quality material or unique genetics but wants to push things further structurally and systematically.

I pollinated one of my outdoor plants today. For a second I thought about leaving her in the shed for a day but decided against that idea. 5 hours later, rain storm.

I know the pollen I used was good because i used some a few months ago, successfully.

Is the rain gonna prevent pollination?

So just wondered if have this right if I have seeds like black tee tangie from brothers grim. These are not considered f1 seeds but a polyhybrid. Meaning seeds from them will have a huge genetic diversity already? Would you consider making seeds from them or just enjoy growing them and keeping the females culling the males. To make seeds should I consider ibl lines, heirloom, or landrace to get similar results from seeds I make?

1st timer here.(for breeding)

Do I want to start my auto regs at the same time as my auto fems ? I want to do a natural breeding. Just let them do what they do. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks everyone 👍👍
