Hi, everybody. Lately i have been taking intrest in auto and photobreeding. I plan to make some crosses this summer. Pick out the best cross i get and then keep perfecting it this winter, and hopefully i can grow my own outdoor strain next year.

The thing is that i have moved out from my apartment to a new one together with my gf. My gf´s sister and brother and their families also, live in the house we live in now. And her parents live close by. So i have to take down the growtent. Now i am thinking that i am going to build a growbox i can keep breeding in this winter. I was also thinking of maybe building a pc case grow box also if i run out of room in the box.

How many plants will i have to grow at the same time in order to breed? Not more then two right? How does a mini breedstation look like? Is it possible to keep it simple and germ 10-20 of my best summer cross seeds. And after 2-4 weeks i pick out my best male and my best female and cross them. Do they maybe need to go longer in order to truly see the plants pros and cons before i pick out? After i pollinated the female i just throw the male plant away. Then it´s just one plant left.

I was thinking that i approx would have 50-60 (2 foot) cm x 50-60 cm, and 60-80 cm (3-4 foot) high. With 125-250w CFL. I don´t want it to get to hot becouse i don´t want to use too much fans. I am thinking about the noice. So the less watts i have the better. How many watts is minimum?

why just throw the male away are you gonna save any of the pollen then throw it away

Yes, i collect the pollen and throw the male away. And if the female isn´t impregnated by then, i brush on some of the pollen.

Maybe separate "rooms" for males and females? In that way i maybe can work two different strains at the same time. I don´t know. I would be really fun to work on two different crosses. But if it´s not possible i will settle for just one.

How do you breeders do it? The top breeders probably work on a larger scale, but i mean all you "hobby" growers. And if you breed seeds on a larger scale. How did you start up?

Ps. Is it possible to grow two or three full grown photo strain plants on a 3 x 3 foot area that´s 3 foot high. If i use small pots (1 gallon) and tie them down maybe?
 
i would say probably one or two and youd have to flower when they get a foot to a foot and a half there gona strech when they stsrt to flower
 
Ok. Super. But i may need to grow a lot of seeds in the hunt for the right traits probably. I´ll figure something out. Thanks for your help.
