A breeding or selection process in which female plants are stressed or treated (e.g., with colloidal silver) to produce pollen for self-pollination or crossing, allowing the breeder to test which phenotypes carry the best genetics for further development.
Mr. Q referenced an ongoing fem side test on the CO2 room genetics to identify the best phenotypes among the crosses before committing to using them in future breeding projects. Dakota emphasized needing to get the plants healthy first to see the 'true winner.'
