i agree, seed companies should take seeds to a pure stabilized line, however very seldom have i found pure uniform plants even buying stabilized strains..these companies have the room and numbers to do this but do not take the time,,thats why every pack of 10 i buy, i spend months and months on getting them to stabilized true breed plants...i dont have the space or time and dont make money off my seeds, i do it because its like ocd, i want uniform seeds...
so the problem is not with us home breeders, the problem is the big seed companies not putting in the time to supply us with uniformity and that is bullshit!!! so many strains are f1's, very few are stabilized hybrids,, and i cant figure why people would rather buy an f1 over a true breed,,most people would prefer the true breed but the companies dont want to provide us,or dont want to spend the time stabilizing...so its become our job to stabilize f1's we bought if we want uniformity...
