Looking at getting these
T-1000 S1
GSC S1
TK S1
SNOW S1
Question am i better off getting the S1's or getting crosses of these strains?
Thanks,
Dave
From what I have gathered, the choice comes down to your goal/expectation. S1s have the potential to find something close to the selfed plant, but S1ing is the highest form of inbreeding so you will see the widest variety of expressions within her so you could also find something that doesn't resemble the mother as well. This becomes somewhat on an issue with poly-hybrids as by their vary nature they contain a relatively large amount of genetics to work with. So in the end its strain dependent, as crosses that use "stable" strains that breed true when selfed would have a higher chance of finding something similar compared to polyhybrids with a wider gene pool.
For getting crosses, there is also uncertainty in the progeny as to which parent it will express more in each seed. But the progeny with more than likely have some element of each parent and just lean varying amounts in each seed. The end result is you still have a "blend" of the plant you want, not the original . Of course you could selectively breed back towards whatever parent you want but im assuming you wanna grow the plant you want now.
There is no right or wrong answer, both are approaches to doing line work. Im blasted AF right now hope it makes sense.
