I want to post this as I have been thinking about it a great deal as it is similar to what I found from Mendel.
"On the subject of hybrids and stabilising lines, I'd like to say a few words. From the perspective of an experienced and critical smoker, the blending of types can only be done genetically. What I mean to say is that mixing pure Haze weed and pure NL together and smoking it, will not give you the same effect as the hybrid would. The hybrid is better! Inbreeding the hybrid and making F2s and so on will not give you a product that is the equal of the original F1. You may get a different version that is very good, but it won't have that perfect blend of the F1. Subtleties that come from the exact 50-50 blend of the F1 get lost under a layer of more dominant traits that are expressed more and more as you continue to inbreed brothers to sisters.
It's not that I'm against this tek to create an IBL. I know it to be effective, it's just that if you have a F1 hybrid that excels be cause it's a blend of polar opposites, you won't hold on to that by inbreeding to siblings. This method of creating IBLs is more suited to hybrids that are put together because of their similarity of type.

It reminds me of Mendel saying how each successive backcrossed generation of a recessive trait will keep showing up no matter what you do. That means that even if you back cross the initially outcrossed male may give rise to a plant which provides you with something different from the mom.
I am tending to agree with Mendel that backcrossing can be beneficial for bringing out specific traits but it just doesn't seem to be the correct way to go about a breeding regimen.

IMO if you smoked Princess after being familiar with C99 you would immediately note the differences.Something that only a small number of people knew about. Soul was no breeder and C99 was much better than Princess.
The haze influence in C99 was not evident in Princess but detectable in Genius. I feel both Princess and Genius were Sk#1 dominant, while cafe girl was NL dominant.
Apollo 13 (Genius X C88) showed the dominance of SK#1 in both Princess and Genius. What I found most interesting as it related to Soul's "cubing" process was the profound difference between Apollo 11 and Apollo 13.
Soul could spin yarn with the best of them and was caught using sock puppet accounts to hype C99 before Cannabisworld and OG ever came online. I watched it unfold real time.
