You can say that again...glasspackedbowl said:I hate reading unrelated posts when I wanna learn. Pickin out truth from off topic stuff is just too much work.
Anyone can pollinate plants and create seed...breeders have devoloped a methodology and a plan of attack. Breeders have LOTS of superior genetic material to work with and LOTS of space to work in. In addition breeders have a deep understanding of genetic material and biological and physiological processes that the plants go through from seed to fruition that sets them apart from pollinators. Don't think that I am saying that in a derogatory way...it is good to make seed It's just not breeding...
A more telling title would be: Pollinating and creating seed for beginners because that is what we are talking about here...creating seed.
All/most of the information found in this thread (other than the initial post by GPB and Azra3l's posts) is speculation and conjecture. I see very little first hand experience with actuall breeding of plants...
Beginners teaching beginners...just the type of environment that is conducive to higher learning lol
Teachers have to teach the right way...speculation and conjecture have absolutely no place in the classroom...
Students should not teach...
Its good to talk about things and share information...as long as the info given is from experienced proven sources.
I am not trying to hate or flame anyone, just trying to offer a dose of reality .
This is a good topic to discuss and I am happy this thread is here, so that we can have this discussion. We just need to be carefull how we word things... Polinating and making seeds is a vital part of the breeding process. However breeding isn't necessary to the seed making process.
This thread gives me a greater appreciation for those who actually DO breed plants. Big ups to all the breeders out there
