By breeding alone you may accidentally lock

down another trait that you do not want or even

remove traits that you want to keep. If this

happens then you will just have to work harder

at keeping the traits that you want and

exploring genotypes through multiple Cross

Tests. Eventually through selection and keeping

records you will end up with a plant that is

true breeding for all the features that you

want. The gene pool is there but the objective

is to lock down the traits of the pool. Also by

keeping your own records you will be building

up your own little map of cannabis genes. For

instance if someone grows Blueberry from a

known breeder and asks what the berry taste

genotype is, you might be able to tell them a

little bit about your experiences and what you

found. This may help them cut corners. Maybe

one day we will be able to genetically map

cannabis and everything will be much easier.

Also a breeder never sits back and says

“Right! I am going to be on the lookout for all

1000 traits that I want.” That is crazy. What

they need to do is concentrate on the main

phenotypes that will make their plant unique in

some way. Once they have locked down 4 or 5

traits they can them move on. Step by step is

how True breeding strains are created. If

anyone says that they developed a true breeding

strain in 1 or 2 years then you can be sure

than the genetics they started with where
