F2ing something for preservation is quite different than pollen chucking a couple males and females.
Id just like to see breeders put in real time and effort not just chuck n see what happens.
But hey, people will buy it so who the fack cares right?
I think preservation could be viewed from many different perspectives.
Obviously a massive pheno hunt prior to breeding would be ideal however with rare discontinued strains that’s sometimes impossible.
And most of the time people are just happy to know a strain isn’t gone for good.
I’d also argue that f2’s of the originals could yield rarer even more desirable phenos then the f1’s. So as with most things in life beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
As for the distinction between chucker and breeder I find your stance curious since I know you run a lot of bodhi yourself and his stuff is all notoriously f1 poly’s.
When every “breeder” lists how many phenos they searched to find the winners then it would make sense to hold others to that standard til then it’s up to the consumer to decide what they purchase with limited info.
And since we are on the subject again here why does everyone feel the need to criticize others for doing exactly the same thing everyone else in the game does?
Do any of the “breeders” pay a cut to the person where the parent stock came from?
I doubt it and think giving credit to the source should be more then enough.
If someone doesn’t like it then they should only sell fems or get patents on their “hard work!”
Just my two cents
