It seems to me that dj short is pretty reasonable as far as it comes to breeding your own lines with seeds that came from him, or at one point that came from him. That makes sense to me. It seems that hes not too stoked on the idea of profitting as using solely "dj short" gear. There has been good points on both side of the argument. I dont totally understand why bohdi would be dropping his blueberry strains, but i guess he feels that its the right thing to do given his situation and position. I thought it would be cool if he gave some of it back to dj short, a collaboration of sorts. I was thinking the same would be super cool if he gave some of the bros grimm crosses and seeds he made back, im sure there would be gems to find in those seeds.
Maybe im mistaken but id imagine that current day breeders would be probably honored if you took a strain and filial bred it then crossed it with another unrelated filial bred stock, then bred that strain for many years making it into something different and possibly better. Main thing i am stressing is that it is different from the original stock. am sure they wouldnt want you to go into business selling genetics they molded, or put together, without putting in the work. (Ex.f13xblueberry f1s) becaus the bottom line is that these guys are doing this for business mostly, and you would then become their competition.
The only way i could see this acceptable would be if dj short had left the scene and there was no blueberry genetics getting around any longer. Ex. Cindy99
it would deffinitely be better if you told the breeders if possible your intentions before you start selling said worked and crossed seedlines. (Especially if you explained to them how their genetics are simply the best, and thats the only way you would even be working with their gear in the first place right?) Maybe some breeders feel noone should be using genetic material they touched at all and i dont know what to say about that.
I understand that many breeders spent their whole lives breeding these lines, traveling, sacrificing, and possibly even losing friends, freedom or loved ones doing this.
This is just my humble opinion. Hope i didnt step on too many toes
