No way, Chronic is Chronic.ok let me get this, different plants in different conditions = different weed ?
And where you're right is that people will go to breeders because said breeders have a particular pedigree in the line up, availability I think you refered to it as. But where many are wrong is that art has anything to fucking do with it. I had this conversation with Rez once (he's actually a nice guy and intelligent enough to not be taking this as personally as some of you are), and actually gifted him the books I recommended earlier, explaining to him that he could genotype his stock via selfing and have a better idea of what would work well or not before going into those long backcrossing trips he was on. Last I saw him he was running off book in hand to go buy some STS.
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
Wow, that was very clear. Thank you so much for that.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.
