Choosing which to reverse
What do y'all think about choosing which plant to reverse and what to pollinate, i have 6 seedlings 1 week old 3 different strains, there are 2 seedlings of different strains that are clearly more vigorous than the others at this stage, ( northern lights and LSD) would you only cross those two or use them as your reversals or keep them for seed bearers.. or is it too early to choose.

Wayzee,
I have made feminized seeds from AF versions of both NL and LSD using colloidal Ag. I am not a cannabis breeder nor geneticist so my approach is a layman's.
I usually choose the two best phenotypes of the same strain to make seeds. I convert the lowest two branches to pollen making, in the same 10' x 20' greenhouse and harvest quickly before opening up to avoid seeding the whole grow.
I wait a week or so for the flower pods to mature indoors to release pollen, then back out to pollinate the pistils on both plants. I get a few dozen to a hundred plus seeds.
I now have seeds from 10 - 12 strains, AF's and photo's. I give lots away.

Ok awesome. I like that approach, then I won't be sacrificing too many plants and buds and ensuring that I've got the best chance of getting decent results out of the seeds produced.. being my first time would you recommend doing it like you do or just sticking with reversing whole plant? Is there risks doing a half n half?
