I’d like it if we started using “bc” rather than “bx”.
This isn't up to us, these are standard botany notations. The X means 'cross', just like it does when you're listing the parents.

“X” is used for cross in hybridization
“BC” is the acronym for backcross, not “Bx”
If I’m wrong show me example. All I’ve seen for other species is “bc”. Bx is bro science.

Back to topic, propping floppy sours...I’ll be taking cuts soon off my mom
I have never seen "bc" used anywhere?
I LIKE IT FRANK!Highsteppa is correct. Outside of cannabis, within any botanical realm, a back cross is written out as BC. I didn't feel the need to make that change in my post simply because I was using our own nomenclature to describe what we are doing in a more understandable way.
I'm actually okay with forcing the general scientific community to accept our standards that have been established for this plant without a single iota of their help over the last 100 years or so. They sat in their ivory towers while we carried things on our backs through the mud and the LEO infested trenches. Yet, we still made massive improvements, increased our understanding, applied that gained knowledge and did so on an open-source platform that was 100% independently funded by the individual "scientist". They can't claim for 5 minutes to have ever done the same for ANY of their white lab coat clean rooms.
If they want to learn about cannabis, they can learn about it the way we have been teaching it to others for decades. If they want to re-invent the wheel by adhering the status quo, that's fine too. I've climbed the stairs to their tower and I've listened to them speak through the wall.
Oddly enough, I actually prefer Bx to BC, however, when working outside of the cannabis world, I always use BC.

They all look awesome. I'd love to pop a pack of seeds and get those 5 females.
