gene recombination in meosis, s1's, and pheno diversity

[bigshrimp]

So you all probably know where im going here...

During the process of meosis haploid cells are made for sexual reproduction.

It is my understanding that a small amount of genetic recombination occurs during this process. Therefore s1 seed are not identical copies to thier parent plant. The genes are actually being shuffled 3x once in male and female haploid production and then ( magnified by the two small shuffles?) again in the main event.

So questions/discussion points are...

Do s1 seeds present greater genetic diversity than commonly realized?

How does this genetic recombination affect phenotypic diversity in true breeding and unstable populations?

Does the selfing process have benefit for an inbred line?

Thanks for you time.

Re: gene recombination in meosis, s1's, and pheno diversity

1. I believe there is diversity, although the level to be determined by the specific cut being selfed.

2. True breeders should stay. Unstable will show more variations, recessives will pop up.

3. Yes. It is sometimes a more direct and practical technique than m/f breeding in regards to locking in the traits of a Specific Cut.

To answer your doubt, selfing is a very viable technique. Many answers and expected results are speculation as there are too many variables. Look at what is actually studied in depth like human genetics and we still practically know shit.

Have faith in your intent and actions and explore on bro. Do not let stigma or opinion sway you because nobody has a clue as much as your own direct experiences.

Many have great success.

I have no doubts in selfing as a breeding technique. The simple fact that it removes the most unknown variable from the equation should speak for its self. Most of the cannabis community is insulated from scientific thought and much more so from the rapid pace of contemporary science.

Also looking for good links relating to this technique for myself and future reference.

Each plant might have different answers to your questions
and your questions are a bit vague even when they're not subjective.

Cheese?

Should be an S1...i selfed again got 3 seeds with 3 different types?
Worry about herms?
