Seriously guys, if you are so threatened, so unwilling to attempt a further understanding of what you claim to care so much about, as to hang onto to any god damn thing else but the truth that is being presented before you, then we as a community and therefore cannabis to x degree, is in big fucking trouble. -Tom
it seems like this is the case for 'we' as world community

Hi Tom,
Could you further explain the process highlighted in the above quote of yours? How does selfing provide insight into the genotype? Including an example or hypothetical scenario would be very helpful in me understanding what you've said above.
Thanks in advance. I truly appreciate your patience in answering questions in this thread.
Sure NotaProfessor,
Let's say you have 5 individuals you really like, and want to breed them all. Self them first, and rank their progeny. Individual 1 has 1 of 30 that is similar to mom, plant 2 has 3, but plant 4 has 15 individuals in her S1 progeny that are similar to mom. Okay so then we can say that plant 4 is most homozygous of the group. Therefore, plant 4 will extremely likely be the best plant to breed with, be it repeating the self, using it as a recurrent parent in a backcross, crossing it out, no matter, the vast majority of the time plant 4 because it selfs well will have the highest breeding worth of all those plants we genotyped via selfing.

some may have misunderstood thus far and think I am hyb dribbling on about you can't possibly get there because you can't run the numbers. Nothing could be further from the truth, this is not about numbers, it's about method, technique - proven scientific methods.
This just reeks of smugness.
Big fucking trouble? The plant has been around, coexisting with humans, for thousands of years. you're not even a blip in the genetic timeline Tom.
To think if people don't subscribe to your methods, or learn the scientific jargon for things they've been doing for years, that the plant is in trouble shows a lot of contempt for people have a lot of experience and have contributed a lot to the community.
I'm not saying yours as in you invented them, but yours as in your preferred route to a goal that can be achieved many ways.

Wow, that was very clear. Thank you so much for that.
That procedure seems to cover the mom. How is this test extended to determining the most homozygous male? Is it finding the mom as outlined above, then crossing that chosen mom to candidate males and observing the progeny? Or is that a waste of time and by this point you just cross to candidate males and look for the preponderance of good female phenos in the progeny?
