Hi folks, thanks for the membership :) I just have a simple question. How many seeds per strain should I store in the freezer just to keep the genetics in case I need it in the future? My goal is to make my own strain so I guess I need numberous crossings before I'm close to my goal. And second question, how many seeds to you "risk" for every season you will test the strain and select which whom is going to the next level? Is 10 seeds/plants an ok number pr strain?

Short answer is many ....

as many as u can possible produce ....

that is true for seeds and plants in each Fx generation :pass:

Hope that makes sense :bighug:

but atleast 10-20 plants in each grow cycle :pighug:

The more the better.
If you can grow 1000 seeds and select the best one, that the top 0.1%.
If you can grow only 10 seeds, then it's the top 10%.
Simple math.

If your original seeds are bought from a seed bank,
then grow all you have, cos you can easily get the original stock back from the seed bank.
