Just in regards to breeding, instead of breeding with a whole plant, I was wondering if I can just take a clone, veg it for a couple weeks so its still small, then flower and pollinate that small clone only. Will that be enough? Or should I breed a full size plant?

nice update man
as for breeding, you can actually seed a single bud on a plant, just flower a male plant, and when the pollen sacs appear cut a few off and save them to use to pollinate a flower on whatever plant you want. Just throw'em into the fridge or freezer and when u want to seed a bud, get a cue tip and collect some pollen and just rub it on a bud and presto you've seeded it. Obviously u do want to be careful though when doing it. On the topic of seeding i've been reading that with femmed seeds if you flower them too long they seed themselves, this happened to me in my last grow. i nvr saw a single male pollen sac on my plants but obviously a couple plants developed them at the end of flower since a few plants ended up with a few seeds..the only good thing about this from what i have read is that those seeds will be femmed. should have kept them..o well, after this grow i'm not using femmed seeds again. gonna stick with a regular sexed out mom for cloning.

Also, just another question on genetics/breeding. What's the difference between the sexes when crossing. For example, will crossing a killing fields mother and heavy duty fruity father produce the same results as crossing a heavy duty fruity mother with a killing feilds father. Will it make any difference? How do u select which strain is to be used as a mother and which strain to be used as a father? Are there any guidelines? Or are the genetics as dicey and unpredictable when 2 people mate and create offspring.
For example, me and my brother both came from the same parents, but while I am extremely good looking and handsome, my brother looks like he was beaten with an ugly stick! Lols. J/k u know what I mean haha

I haven't done alot of breeding, but i would assume its just as much a roll of the dice as human breeding lol, but there must be more too it than that since professional breeders seem to be able to get the best traits from both strains...though this could be, and i would think it is, mainly trial and error... from what i know it can take years of selective breeding to produce a stable hybrid... either way i'm sure you'll enjoy trying!
