The traditnal way would be to split the line early usually at f2 then select an A and a B line then inbreed both lines bout 7 generations selecting toward similar traits then crossing the final lines together. It won't be like heterosis (true f1 vigor) but it won't be depressed.After breeding down to IBL how do u add vigor without compromising the genotypes you locked down. I need it spelled out for me as I haven't found a post that makes sense....at least to me...thx
Thanks, so how do you know which F generation to go back too?
Off topic abit what breeders genetics do u like...just curious.
wouldn't a back cross to an earlier generation if available also do this, like F3 or later sorta deal? as isn't IBL considered after
I believe backcrossing to another generation is what some people call an incross or IX. I'm not sure that would work quite the same way as breeding to side by side lines. if your goal is to preserve the genetics I suppose it would work. But it could possibly undo a bit of the homogeny. Preserving the gene pool would be better done by open pollinationation anyway. I'm not sure though because no one to my knowledge has incrossed a "ibl" to an earlier generation.wouldn't a back cross to an earlier generation if available also do this, like F3 or later sorta deal? as isn't IBL considered after F7 or F8?
HummmmOff topic abit what breeders genetics do u like...just curious.
Had alot of experience growing commercialy ethos. He had a clone distributor here in colorado so I've ran quite a few strains from him. Some were exceptional like the durban kush and snowball others were not so great lilac diesel was average jack terps and the lemon og haze shot herms put the top cola week 5. Would also catch early nanners on the crescendo on occasion. As for ag I bought 20 seeds of that skunk #1 and it was in my opinion trash, lanky tired genetics. I've grown super skunk, UK cheese and some cheese s1's and they were all better unfortunately .Cool.....what do u fellas think about Ethos and AG
Cool.....what do u fellas think about Ethos and AG genetics?
Ok. Please explain what it is, how it is passed, how it can be selected for, and when would it need to be sacrificed for quality.MtDNA is the route to vigour. This needs to be selected for, understood how it is passed, and only sacrificed for quality at the correct points in the breeding program.
