The filial generation

[BlazingPheonix!]

What would the filial generation be considered in a cross carried to the F5 then backcrossed then inbred one more time? Any of you MAD breeders out there got any ideas?
BlPh!

since Filial is bros and sis, id say then F6

That was my guess. :smile: Thanks CBF.

The backcross throws that off. A backcross is to the P1 (a parent) to the best of my knowledge not a sibling. If you simply bred the f5's you would get the f6 (6th filial generation). How can the BX facilitate that? (Not a challenge just a question)

 

[BlazingPheonix!]

After the backcross it is then inbred (to sib) once more forward. I'm not dead set on any interpretation so any other suggetions are very welcomed.

Not being a breeder but only a grower that has explored growing for seed in successive filial generations and hybridizations of some good strains-I would say that you have facilitated an IBL and not a successive Filial Generation (f1 f2 f3 ...and so on). I will go out on that proverbial Limb and say that you have further stabilized (not that it was unstable to begin with) a sibling based strain with a backcross to a parent of such. The terminology is not possessed by me but I'm quite sure others do know the most logical answers to your question. This is great food for thought. I want to see what some "more knowledgable than I" people have to say here. Great thread and Question.

I think we need a new nomenclature for that. BRF#whatever (British Royal Family to reflect the degree of inbreeding)...

 

[BlazingPheonix!]

I'm not completely saticfied with calling it an F6, either. This is why I ask. I don't know the correct term for this slight deviation in the breeding path. An F6 to me would mean a cross inbred for 6 generations and as Herbweedman stated, this example has been BXed to a P1 once along this way but not as the final breeding move so the term F6 Bx wouldn't be correct either.

Dude, we may have an inbred royal family, lol, but u lot r the silly fuckers who pay shitloads evey year to look at their home, aaaahahahahahahahaha. Anyway, asll the royal families are inbred in europe, coz theyre all 1 bloody family. lol, Hmmm, I think we should do some outcrosses in that lot to get some new vigour in the line, hehehehehe.

Soz 4 going off topic, this is very interesting though, waiting for more

 

[Freakazoid44]

Hey, I'm not saying that we're better off, as we give more power to our obvious inbreds...

LOL, I was only joking anyway m8, I cant really abide our royals, uppity over-privaledged dicks. Wills is OK, he is just lie his mother was, and he will be(hopefully) a breath of fresh air when king. Im not anti-royl, I just h8 the way they live, and have so very little understabdinbg, or care for real people. And the double standards.
anyway, was only joking m8, I was going way off topic, so ill not say any more, sorry people
