That is, if there are two known phenotypes of a particular strain - a common situation -if the less common pheno shows up, will it tend to produce more phenos like itself, or is as likely to reproduce the other pheno?
Thank you.
Less common phenotype sounds recessive and you may have to breed to the F2 generation to see more of them.
After which, if you can find a male and female with the same phenotype your chances of stabilizing is much better.
You may want to keep a clone around just in case though.
Thanks, that is very interesting. Thing is, I have only polllen and not much, which perhaps is just as well since I don't have many females to inflict it upon. I have one Skunkish-OG strain which should be very interesting, and another strain which tends to be hard to work with because it so dominates anything it is crossed with. It is very vigorous and probably shows a bit of the Thai part of its heritage. It would probably dominate an oak tree if crossed with one. I'll try it with that one too.
Do you find the narrow leaf versions to be and shorter/taller or later/sooner than the broad leaf versions?
Thanks again.
The Long Valley Royal #7 is extremely inbred and is what folks would refer to as a stable IBL. The plants for the most part are so similar that from any distance , it's pretty hard to tell them apart. The leaf expressions take a trained eye to tell apart and it's not as simple as narrow leaf/broad leaf by the standard definitions. What is stable in this line is overall structure, underlying odor in veg, finishing times and extreme frost/resin development. Very high potency as well and a little much for many seasoned tokers I know.
The #9 F2's made by a former member here who dropped them a few years ago for the seedbay server drops, where made from Aficionado's release. These were some high end designer beans but sadly the majority of the females I flowered out popped low plant nanners in week 5. Awesome smoke, but the nanners were typical throughout over 70 seeds I've gone thru in last few years since receiving them.
The LVRK #7 seeds have produced strong, stable plants and have provided good stock for some breeding projects I have embarked on over last couple years.
