Hmm, i heard to get a Copy of every Gen displayed in a single Landrace, you need minimum 2000 Plants (1000 males 1000 Females).
You have one option wich IS REGARDED of letting a Landrace unchanged: open Pollinate 2000 Plants.
Selecting in a neutral Growenviroment would not even be regarded as suitable for Preservation below that Numbers. Anyway i guess the first Option is comparably Easy.
I say comparably. Possibly one can only grow way less, BUT, i CONSIDER this Scientifical Fact as a way, to work out the best possible Preservation-Plan.
I rather run 100 at once, select the wildish Plants out, rather than running 25 wich i observe exactly cause their full Size. Thats absolute minimum, still not sufficient.
What you describe with 25 Plants is counting nearly fully on Selection. In such small Numbers.
Sounds very Risky. Further, Even im not a fan of choosing one of a thousand Phenos, i can clearly see from two good Breeders, they all run insane numbers, it IS Key for Maintaining the Fiery Quality of Weed. And if you dont want it to become a Caffeine-type feelingless Weed, you need to even select multiple Lines, a Taste Line, a Potency Line, a Robust Line..... Not just Potencline.
MY closest Solution : run the maximal Number (tiny Single-stem Plants) i can, select out the Weak Phenos, open pollinate. But in an initial Run i have to learn to select, and grow the Selections i did out, so i know what i did right and what wrong.
Size matters
