Making Root Beer Float x Chronic Ryder

[FarmerJake]

Goal: Take Root Beer Float feminized seeds and work them into a Regular strain that accurately represents RBF
Plan: Use Chronic Ryder as a pollen donor for crossing with Root Beer Float s2’s to make my F1’s. Cross a male from the F1 generation back onto a feminized Root Beer Float. And keep backcrossing until I achieve my goal.

Here they were on the 28th of February Day 2

We are on Day 12 now and everything is on track for success, each of the Chronic Ryder’s was placed in a 1g grow bag and the RBF in an Earthbox Jr. The Males of the chronic Ryder will stay in the 1g pots as will a breeder female so I can make the next generation of Chronic Ryder to keep on hand for future projects. Hoping to grow out a female Chronic Ryder for smoke too as I’ve never grown this strain.

@Doctor's Choice thanks for opportunity to showcase and breed your Chronic Ryders
@Jean-O I know I asked like a year ago but thank you for giving me the green light to make a cross with RBF it’s one of my favorite strains I’ve ever grown

Day 22
5/5 Chronic Ryders are male. Kind of bummed because I wanted a female to pollinate and one to grow out for flower. I feel doing so would be helpful in knowing what traits to look for in offspring. I have some fast flowering males and some slower flowering.
Here is the 5 studs

And it gets questionable with the Root Beer Float s2 that I plan to pollenate. I have noticed that occasionally I’ll get an auto who will throw a few immature male parts early in life before showing more strongly as female sex, I have come to think of this as a side effect of feminized genetics and is a driving factor in me converting all genetics to regular format for personal use. This Root Beer Float has a few tiny balls, which brings to question if I even want to breed this specimen. For Shits and Giggles I may pollenate a single branch but certainly not the whole plant as I had intended. I may abandon the plan entirely though and just collect the pollen from the male Chronic Ryders and grow the RBF for flower only assuming it doesn’t throw more balls. Thoughts?
