I'll keep saying nl5 by haze.

from the dictionary



X is used in Xmas because the greek letter X (Chi) is the first letter of the greek christos and is symbolic of christ's cross, not because it is a 'criss'.

also from the dictionary:


criss is not even in the dictionary.
lol
 
Well an X kinda looks like a cross so I always go with X=CROSS

Why people dont use the + symbol is a bit of a mystery?

So "Northern Lights cross Skunk #1." It seems kind of weird at first, but it rolls of the tongue. Saying "crossed with" doesn't really. Is there a consensus on the official terminology?

i usually don't say it, as in "this is lemon thai kush"

if i do say it, i'll say it like, "this is lemon thai crossed with kush"

professional breeders i have met and know,, and respect,,, would say "by" "taken to" or "crossed with"

that is the consensus imo,, but there is no official term for the process

that's what I did when I read "If you want to get technical" and found it followed by 100% technically incorrect information, I lol'd. Then I tried to help you understand what information is not incorrect.

odd to me that it made you lol.

It's common for breeders in other plant species to say 'BY' as in NL x Haze ie Northern Lights by Haze.

I personally don't use that terminology- I would either say Northern Lights Haze cross or Northern Lights Haze hybrid. I feel these flow better phonetically, but again that's my personal pref.

I guess old habits stick with us. Due to my college studies I tend to use 'by' in verbal communications, e.g. Pakistan Chitral Kush 'by' DTC99.

krysset med pollen av?

I'm not a native swedish speaker, our uralic tongue is a agglutinative language and it lacks these little words, av, by, por, pelo and stuff. Translation can get confusing at times.

that's what I thought, by is most often used by professionals working in the field. I do quite like the way Northern Lights Haze hybrid sounds, but wonder how that language would translate into a three or four way hybrid. Nl by haze and Affie by skunk hybrid?
