If you cant spell Tarantula, I don't think you should be breeding them.
G. Rosea really aren't worth breeding IMO, you'd have a hard time just giving them away.

You need a mature female and a mature male. Males look very "leggy", for example:
freshly molted red color phase (RCF)

When you have a mature male he will look something like that. His pedipalps will also stop serving as legs and become bulbus at the end with spurs on them, you can kind of see what I mean in picture two.
He should be actively making sperm webs and prowling his cage at night looking for "love". Make sure your female is well fed and sexually mature (6" legspan is preferable). Put them together and nature will take its course. That might mean she munches him, it might mean they successfuly copulate. That is up to them.
But honestly, you are not going to know what to do with all those babies. Nobody is going to want to pay for them and they take forever to grow. I pretty much got rid of mine by giving them away as freebies with the other slings and juvies I was selling.
