I'm assuming you want the final progeny to be more Indica like. I'm not so certain that plan will accomplish that. Whether you use I or I x I, the combination with the S will still just be I x S or S x I, depending on which sex you pick for each parent strain.
If you are looking for a more Indica structure...and if DJ is correct aboot the male's contribution to that...and if you want a 50/50 mix of Indica/Sativa...then I would think that (S x I#1) x (S x I#2) would be the best bet to accomplish that.
In the most basic terms, you could simply make I the male parent.
...just a thought.
Hey Bob. Thanks for that ~
Makes sense to do it that way but there is no Indica male parent.
Also no Sativa male parent. I've been looking through females discarding males unless they were standout or part of something else.
The goal is more Sativa like actually; Sativa Hybrid in the end. Uplifting headie high.
The idea to cross to indica as a preface, was to increase the bulk of the plant and choose the ones with the same flavor profile & pink pistilation which I already have. Making a really heavy indica dominant plant. Adding another layer to the onion. *getting a male plant
Stretch + flower production coming from the Sativa side introduction, meaning flowers all the way up the branch. Will probably be dealing with some lengthy flower times for a bit.
And since I don't have a Male Oax, the road is a bit longer.
Would be Indica x Indica. Search through them, finding a nice hybrid of traits possibly a male - probably F2 and look for a male in there (So we can use this as the father to do the way you suggest).. And then introduce the Sativa Male. And then one more step maybe two I have in mind with the Oax female. **
I think DJ had a good observation with the M contributing structure (whether in flower or in veg) but I find it's the plants that have less mixtures of genes that tend to dominate the crossing. There is always a dominant parent in a crossing be it the mother or the father imo so then it comes down to piecing together the structures of the children ~
The original parent is considered 100% Indica.
Like I mentioned, the first plan was to do 100% Indica x Oax. But no nice males on the pure side since I've had it.
So just rolling with the punches.
