Female Trouble
I bought some seeds a while back called Mosca Cindy-99 BX-1. It’s a great plant that finishes in seven weeks. My question: They are regular seeds, but so far all have been female. I have five left, and I want to plant all five in hopes of getting a male or two along with a couple of females. If this happens, will I be diluting the gene pool by not being able to select the strongest of both? My growroom is tight at best; I have a really tiny box for mothers and clones. (Amazing what a little stoner ingenuity can do for you!)
I’d love to make more of these seeds, not to sell but for personal use, because I love the stone that I get from this plant.

Dear Fat Guy,
If you wish to keep the plant around, your best bet isn’t a breeding project, but rather to turn a female seedling into a mother plant by keeping her in the vegetative stage and taking clones when you want to grow out that variety. First, plant the seeds and let them grow out for a few weeks. Next, take a cutting from each plant and root and flower the clone. Use the flowered clones to determine which plant is female, then discard the male clones and their corresponding plants. The female seedlings become your mother plants, capable of producing hundreds or even thousands of healthy duplicate copies of themselves for you to grow out to your heart’s delight.
