In which case is an open pollination better than taking the best female and male out of the pack to make f2 seeds?

Yes. Keeps a greater amount of genetic diversity in the gene pool. Ideal for small sample size genetic preservation projects.

So if I just have a pack (never have more) and want to make f2‘s, I should always make an open pollination, and look out for lovely daughters?

The problem with an open pollination which has poly hybrids involved is that much energy will be spent pheno searching. Too many variables to consider. IMO narrowing the parental breeding stock, at least to some degree, limits the garbage phenos that one has to search thru. If you choose to do an open pollination... pull the weakest phenos atleast and save yourself a headache down the road. The true magic happens at the f2 f3 stage anyway. Diversity is key, but not at the expense of time and space and sanity.

Depends. If packs are still being made, or they are plentiful feel free to stabilize a line, ie. Make f2s and on like you mentioned. This would be to stabalize a seedline. Think f2, f3,f4....
If it's rare. Not available. Parents extinct etc. Then an open pollination is about keeping the genetic variety alive and passing it out to avoid extinction.
Both are valid. Depends on the situation and your goals.

Black Raz checked a lot of boxes. It's not a super big strain but it stacks quick, has very good frost, potent, and has a pretty good flavor. Some of the other phenos that I passed on were golf ball nugs that finished fast, I had fun sorting through the whole seed pack! By the way, my wife's favorite 2 strains are Cali-orange and HeadBand...

I saw the description of Tiger's Milk on GreenDot Labs and I thought that it looked very interesting! GreenDot makes their own description and they run a few Bodhi strains, I thought it was fun to look at...

I've grown a few Cali orange and headband lines from other breeders. Man I wish Bodhi's were solid... I'd be on those like stink on shit

I've been running Tangie for a couple of years and finally put it to rest. I have a pack of Sumatra here, but I have only been able to find 1 pack. GLG dropped 5 seed packs and allowed 1 to be bought at a time and I scored one then and have been holding it since. I would like to see a Cali-O x Wookie cross become available... I like the Wookie crosses that I have ran so far and I really think that they are going to be what everyone is talking about soon. I have high hopes for Neroli '91 because it is supposed to be orange flavored and sour. I am going to be popping it soon with Lavender Aura (Purple Urkle x wookie), Terpenado (Goji F3 Strawberry milk x wookie), and Dream lotus (SCBD x Snow Lotus)... I have so many seed packs that I want to try that I keep changing my mind. Maybe I will start a poll when it is time to pop them... Anyways, I was happy enough with Black Raz to let go of my other strains and make room to run more. I still have not been able to see my 2x packs of SSDD grown out, I have them in flower now.

I'm currently popping the space monkey.... I want to find a wookie dom pheno that I can cross to an IBL creation of mine I've been growing for years. I'm looking to add some loudness and a higher terp profile.

Thanks for the link @MustangStudFarm. Never saw Green Dot Labs reviews before. They seem very high on it though

That’ll be crazy man! Good luck on that brother! If you want a few Tangie F2s that I made from Crockett’s Family Farms to add to the list, let me know. I can send you some.

Thats an Epic list man. Lots of space required. I' envious. My modest 6×8 couldn't hold a flame to the space required to pheno hunt that lot. Best of luck to you sir. My brother has been playing with Cali-O and C99... trying to lock down an IBL for some time now. Some pretty interesting stuff has shown up. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some blood orange. My seed bank is always in need of something more. I never seem to satisfied with what I have

This past year I hit some light orange on a couple of Orgis, and some genuine orange in a couple beans of Sour Cream x Agent Orange [ Sour Orange, I guess... ]. It's my favorite flavor in weed. In about a week, I'll have some chop pics in the 'New Harvest' thread of a reeking Orange Fruit Snacks. Real excited about this one; heavy frost and true orange smell. Wish I could say the same about the Bodhi Satsuma running beside it, which has no smell and very low frost. Plus, it looks like it's gonna go long
