And after 3 years or so, you can get a good family of your own.
I croseed my GG5s together and got some viable seeds for next year but they might be not as I wanted we'll see. I prefer to keep it all early. No long sativas.
It's good to breed a longer plant and a shorter flowering (auto/semi auto) plant but you need a few years to stabilize it as I said earlier.
But for the "purists", using autos will kill the cannabis gen. pool and they recommend to cross landrace strains (Mr. Nice etc..) with a stable sativa X a stable indica to reduce the flowering times (you can't grow a Thai easily in most places so you need to shorten it).
Thanks for confirming my thoughts corto, im planning on inbreeding the strains to stabilize, of course next season if possible, but with the non autos i wanna go seed bank style and do some self pollination of my favorites i need some mini pollination cabs inside so my plants can sit there and pleasure them selves in private haha.
