If Something is Good, It’s Good
Plants are similar to people in many ways.
Some couples work and some don’t. Some couples simply shouldn’t be together.
Other times you see a couple and think, yeah, now that’s a great couple. Those two people really work well together. Some have to try and sometimes it’s effortless. Plants are the same way.
My selection process involves finding two plants that complement each other. They are both fantastic individually but they are better together.
For me, the selection process involves an acute awareness of differences between plants and what the genetics will do when pushed to their maximum potential.
This gives me an idea/visual in my mind. It’s where my creative process begins. It’s important for me to improve upon the genetics I’m working with. I love the union of two plants that improve one another or offer something unique or interesting to one another.
My selection process starts off as a series of sketching or scribbling things down. Sometimes it’s a clear visual in my mind and I try my best to make it a reality. Other times, it’s luck of the draw. With time, there’s certain portions that become more predictable, but you really never know if it’s good until you grow the offspring.
