what would happen if i crossed a male and female blue heaven plant./ if i picked a good 2 parents would the seeds be more homogenous and better?? or will the undesired characteristics come out ? ive heard blue heaven have some problems being a bit fickle. ? thanx.

![]() | no one else is helping u so, ill give it a shot even though im no expert... generally u would need to know where the strains genetics come from, when 2 stable strains are crossed for the first time u get F1 plants, if this is what they are then when you inbreed u will make F2 which are the least stable seeds and a few examples of undesired traits may show up in the f2 plants... however if the seeds u bought were already bred past the f2 instablity by backcrossing then all your selective inbreeding will result in uniform plants. u could try to find out from the seed company or else just give it a shot and hope for the best! | ||

![]() | im pretty darn sure that this strain is an f1 cross of DJ shorts Blueberry X sativa (does anyone know which one?) so if u do breed a male and a female from these seeds you will get unstable f2 plants. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Where did you buy these seeds?What breeder are they from?If they are from DJ Short they are already an f7 generation.That is why so many people have a hard time growing them.If you want to restore the vigor quickly,you could cross it with a Skunk #1.That will make it a very good f1 strain.If you want to keep the Blue Heaven genetics unaltered,that takes alot of work.First you would have to choose two male and two female plants.Form these make two groups consisting of 1 male and 1 female plant each.You should have 2 groups of two plants.Make a cross within the groups and get seed.Now grow out the seeds but keep the offspring seperate from each other.Never let the plants get mixed up.From this point you would need to selectively breed both groups for a few generations.When you have the desired traits after 3 or 4 generations then you would select 1 female and 1 male from each of the different seedling groups.Cross these together and you will have restored some of the vigor.The more generations you wait till you make this cross the more vigor will be restored.Its not an easy thing to do but,you get the idea. I would cross it with a Skunk #1 or a Super Skunk.
