Ep. 70 What to Do with Your Crossed-Up Plants

I've been encouraging you to go out and find any accidental crosses that might be in your fields. These can be the beginning of exciting breeding projects. But once you've found those very special individuals, what should you do? That's what this minisode is about!

In this episode we get into 

•  The difference between crossers and selfers 
•  How many crossed up plants you need to start a breeding project
•  How to grow out your F2 generation tp get the best results
•  What to do if your crossed up plants want to go in many directions.

Enjoy the show!
