true breeding strains list

Geus you dont count landraces as IBL´s?
Skunk #1 is an IBL, but very different plants to be found, funny...

no and i don't think i should, i think a lot if not all landraces have a lot of variations and so are heterozygous, landraces are inbred yes but what im speaking of, is about homozygous strains for a lot of traits : they bred true for these traits, skunk #1 is a true breeding strain but i don't think a 100% homozygous strain has been ever bred, so skunk #1 can have little variations but very little in my experience.

some of you might be interested in Shantis' (MNS) new offering of NHS - NL5 x the fabled hazeC x a skunk#1 from a seed from Sam from 88...its not exactly stable but theres some fantastic genes at work...

hi

so a little update, some true breeding strains(or at least strains who bred true for many traits) available :


Skunk #1
Hindu kush
Afghani #1
California Orange
Durban
Blueberry
Deep Chunk
Pine Tar Kush

.................more to ad...................

add TomHill´s X-18 to the list :)
 
Ultraskunk!

Ultraskunk!

Chimera wrote the breeding section in Jorge Cervantes Grow Book, and he said that Ultraskunk was the most uniform of all the various Skunks. Ultraskunk is made up of dutch/swiss breed skunks.:2cents:

A strain can breed true for a multitude of traits. I think the term "true breeder" may be a bit misunderstood. True breeder for what?...no hermies? Purple color? Terpine signature? Growth structure?

And does making an IBL out of a plant make it the "true breeder" you seek? Perhaps it breeds true for producing hermies and was stabilized that way?

Or are you looking for a plant that is simply stable, and it's progeny predictable?

if you are to quick flo sativa hybrids with high nearly like pure sativa, then theres bangi haze, true breeding stock F6 or F7?

BANGi will kick your ass:moon:

hoosierdaddy, i have opened this thread to list the true breeding strains egally called IBL or pure line : inbred lines who are homozygous for a maximum of traits like: potency, taste, bud color, leaf shape, flowering time, height, resin production, smell, internodes, branching numbers, yields.
a trait that bred true will always exist in the progeny because the trait is fixed, stabilised, the trait is homozygous, recessive bb or dominant BB.
i don't think growers and breeders are interested by homozygous intersex plant. homozygous lines are stable and predictable, but if you have heterozygous plants that you want to cross, you can predict in theory the results with mendel laws, punnett square and hardy-weinberg law.
growers often mix up stable and uniform in my opinion, f1 hybrids are often uniform but are unstable they are heterozygous for a number of traits, pure lines are stable and uniform they are homozygous, f3, f4, f5 etc.... can bred true for a number of traits or not at all, it depends of the work of the breeder.... a thing about backrossing, you can not create pure lines just with backcrossing, you can use backcrossing to true bred a trait and you can use it in an inbreding program too. growers don't necessarily needs true bred strains but serious breeders need it to create f1 hybrid.
a last word it seems that IBL really means Inbred Backcross Line and IL stand for Inbred Line so all of these is confusing thats why i prefer to speak of true breeding strain or homozygous line for one or a number of traits.
i hope its readable im not very good in english grammar and i hope i have not say too much bullshit on the subject but if i have help a little, im happy :)

sincerely
