thread of the year already!
so at least my question now is how inbred is the P.P? and how was it inbred?Its been developed several generations from an isolated purple pheno segregated from Bubba Kush. Due giving a few males in its offspring, line is offered as regular seeds, 10 seeds per pack but results tell about a very extremelly high average of females
well i think that is the issue.
They are not s1's you have. Selfed for sure.
Ok So Katsu Bubba is the parent to the line you are working now.
Katsu Bubba was a regular cross or selfed line?
Wesos then took this f1 or s1 and made f1s1 or s2s.
From that generation he found a male and a female and incrossed them?
so S2F1.
Kaiki then back crossed it again with reversing techniques? to the Katsu f1/s1 parent.
This was then bred for a few more generations and released to the public?
i'm sorry if i'm confused but thats what I see going on here.
The male ratio increases linearly with the size of the area and can never be completely eliminated. It must not be forget that the evolutionary form of hemp is diocious, while monoecious varieties are an artificial product, incapable of surviving without human intervention. Within a few generations they revert to diocsim if left to themselves. In agronomic experiments on the French hybrid population of c.v Felina, Hoppner, and Menge-Hartmanm (1994) found 8 percent of male hemp, despite the fact that, according to the standard, it should have contained none at all. According to other investigations (Bosca, 1989 unpublished) the flowering of monocious forms of the one-cross type in the stand is extremely dangerous, as they increase the appearance of dioescious males in the following generations. This fact further complicates both positive and negative selection in monocious hemp variates.
