This whole thread is a fascinating read. I never imagined that all the holy grails of our “industry” can be stabilized, inbred and imbued with F1 vigor given enough dedication and work.
Next question I have is… why aren’t more people doing this? Serious breeders that are around since the beginnings? Where is the Blueberry RIL? NL#5 RIL? The chems RIL? Skunk#1? G13? Original Haze? Acapulco Gold? How come the building blocks of modern cannabis are lost to us, forever to be searched for in random hybrids?
I mean this technology has been known for decades, it’s taught in biology/horticulture/agronomy schools, right? This is how every vegetable we ingest was made? Why the f didn’t we do this for our plant and her important expressions? Is it possible that this whole “industry” is on such an amateurish level that breeders with Tonygreens level of knowledge and dedication ar an exception and not norm?
Boggles my mind really.
