I've read in alot of places that when crossing you should use oposite type strains that compliment each other. So, that leads me to my question/problem. Me and the wife love to smoke from time to time and can't seem to compromise on what we can smoke together. She loves the bubblegum where as I like the WhiteWidow. Can I cross these to get a bubblegum flavor with a kick azz high? I'm grtowing both of these strains right now and figure I can do it but.... being the newb that I am everytime I start thinking I keep being shown wrong. I do realize it will take me about 3-5 generations to genetically get what I want from a plant (if it can be done at all). I'll probably try it anyways no matter what you say but would love some opinions. Thanks

![]() | It is possible to get what you want. How probable is the question. Producing such a strain could take several generations of breeding and selecting plants. For some strains, breeders have literally grown thousands of plants and selected only those which have the characteristics they are looking for. Serious Seeds Bubble Gum is supposed to be very potent. Also perhaps a sweet strain like Bog Lifesaver, which is again supposed to be very potent, might satisfy both as well.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Experience tells me you can have aplay around, cross a male to a female and you will get some offspring that look like plant A whilst some will look like plant B..others will contain a combination of the two plants, finding something reasonable for your own use is fairly easy I have found. Its just not stable in regards to reproduction but as far as growing it out and flowering it there should be little problems. that being said Widow to Bubbleberry is quite an unpredictable cross as both strains are unstable themselves in a lot of cases.

Thanks!! If I can find it I am going to read up on that BOG LifeSaver. I'm still a newb grower so genetics really wasn't something I wanted to tackle yet anyways!
