I'm surprised we don't have a special thread area for breeding. I feel like it's a very important part of our jobs as cultivators to know where our stuff comes from. Anyone create their own strain? If so, Please share! Also, can someone please explain the f1 and f2 system? Is that referring to generations of fem seeds? And is creating fem seeds considered "backtracking" genetics? I'd eventually like to breed myself.

do you have siblings? while your both from the same parents your different no? the only way to attain the same exact copy of a plant is a clone otherwise its just another "family member" could be close like a brother or far like a cousin

for the most part we hunt for phenos similar in traits other people like, then they get names , those names get crossed, jumbled mixed up and rematched and crossed again and again Nd again. then you end with all these new poly hybrid crazy strains

Unless a plant genome comes from a particular area and has only been crossed with others from that area things get dicey if they are many generations removed.

This is why I hear so much about pheno hunting. How can you know if it's what you want without flowering? I assume it's why people reveg?
