Breeding Examples
Theory is great, but practice is better. Here are concrete examples of crossbreeding setups, from simple to multi-stage.
Example 1: The Classic Hemp Transformation
The Goal: GGGYYY (3G3Y)
The Problem: You have a bank of bad wild clones with W and X genes.
Wild Bank:
GHYYXWXGGYHYXHYYGHGYXWYG
Step 1: Throw them in the calculator. It finds a GEN.2 path.
Step 2 (The Bridge):
Plant GHYYXW in the center. Surround it with the others.
The center’s Slot 5 X gets crushed by the Y genes of the donors. The result is a GEN.1 Bridge Clone that looks like GHYYYW.
Step 3 (The God Clone):
The calculator now instructs you to put a new wild clone GYXWYG in the center and surround it by four copies of your new GEN.1 bridge clone. The extreme 4x weight of the Bridge clones crushes the final W. The output is the perfect GGGYYY.
Example 2: The Red Berry Disaster
The Goal: YYYYYG (5Y1G) Red Berry
The Mistake: Placing a Blue Berry in the cross.
Setup:
- Center: Red Berry
YYYXYH - Donor 1: Red Berry
YYHYYG - Donor 2: Red Berry
YYYWYG - Donor 3: Blue Berry
YGYWYG(MISTAKE)
Outcome:
Instead of extracting the nice G gene from Donor 3, the crossbreeding engine sees a mix of species. The Blue Berry species tag overpowers the Red Berry center. The entire crop turns into a messy Blue Berry hybrid.
Lesson: Never mix colors.
Example 3: The 50/50 Tie Win
Target: 4Y2G Hemp.
Center: YGWYYY
Donors:
XGYYYYYXYYGG
Slot 2 Resolution:
Center has G. Donor 1 has G. Donor 2 has X.
Total G weight: 1.2
Total X weight: 1.0
G beats X, but G (1.2) must also beat the center G (0.6). It does. Success.
Slot 3 Resolution:
Center has W (1.0).
Donor 1 has Y (0.6).
Donor 2 has Y (0.6).
Total Y weight: 1.2.
1.2 > 1.0. The Y crushes the center’s W successfully! No tie! The route is a 100% Guaranteed success.
Always use the calculator to verify these exact math interactions before planting.
