Turning clone only strains into seed strains, why don't more do it? (note: I just typed a thesis and hit some key on the lower keyboard and it all vanished! anyone know what key that is and a way to retrieve it?)
I know ease and financial concerns probably have something to do with it. Stability of clone strains maybe also at times. But why doesn't say someone who has the exodus cheese cut cross it with Northern Lights or some other male of a stable stain, and then keep backcrossing the progeny to the clone to create a stable strain that can continually and reliably be grown from seed? The more I read it, this sounds like a project for a hobby preservationist who wants to turn clone only's into IBL's, but I am still surprised a few breeders don't tackle it.
edit: I know plenty do s1's or fem crosses clone to clone, but I am talking making a 90 something % pure version of the clone only in seed form. Which seed strains are good candidates for what I propose?
