i looked online in genetics dictionaries, but cannot find out exactly what this scientific term means... i.e.g., sour bubble... thanx...

what does "1IX BX1" mean?

so... "1IX" literally means "one-inline-cross", or, "crossed-once-inline"... thanx...
IX1 = Incross 1. BX1 = Backcross 1.
It means, basically, assuming you have 2 parent plants A and B, and (A x B) is a resulting hybrid, or our reference.
IX1 = (A x B) x (A x B) [notice how we incrossed, or crossed the plant to itself]
BX1 = (A x B) x A [in this case, the plant was backcrossed to one of its parents to get more traits from that parent plant]

IX1 is usually reserved for strains that the breeder has no knowledge of the origins. Normally, when parent plants are inbred, we would call it F1. But it would be very confusing if we call these unknowns 'F1's' since it would be a mistake to assume that unknown strain as the product of 2 true-breeding parents.
I'm talking about, for example, "William's Wonder", or any clone-only strain, for that matter. We simply don't know what exactly it is, so calling it F-whatever would be confusing. So instead, they call, in this case, William Wonder IX1 -- in other words William Wonder x William Wonder.
I think that may be what Chimera was eluding to, as the term 'IX1' doesn't actually mean anything in plant taxonomy.

not to kill the topic..BUT,
Is it possible to stabilize a land race to the point where its just as uniform as an f1?

thanx to all for illumination... didn't bog purportedly cross bogbubble w/ a tray of bubba kushes to create sour bubble?... which side did he back cross to?... wouldn't that initial cross be considered an f1?...
so, the first sour bubble that was released was actually f1, right?... then came the backcross (bx1) to either bogbubble (wlbg) or buuba kush (chemx...x...x...)...
steel savage (grindhouse) crossed the offspring of the first backcross (sbbx1) and thus we have sbbx1 1ix...
why are these not considered f2's?...

it was actually in one of my threads some time ago, i asked what ya would call a generation of BX1 plants, hehe and "first incross of the BX1" aka 1IX BX1, is what the guy your talkin about came up with. i never found that nomenclature anywhere else myself, lol.
been told its just another gen, ex: F1 F2 BX1 F4. so whats your take on it Chimera, be nice to sort it out. maybe a few guys would be on the same page
