Adding to and bookmarking this thread, but I love the truth and personal evolution that OG promotes!!!
For those looking to really dig into genetics breeding you should start out with the understanding that almost all of what we’re growing and breeding with are not F1’s & not polyhybrids, but are actually multi-polyhybrids. This definitely complicates things, but not so much that we can’t still figure them out and stabilize them.
Sometimes we cross 2 strains and in their offspring generation w…
Cannabis crosses are not f1s thread on og
[image] Phylos Bioscience:
Currently the way the cannabis industry uses the term F1 hybrid is wrong. An F1 hybrid (or filial 1 hybrid) is the first filial generation of offspring of distinctly different parental inbred types. Cross-pollination involving two true-breeding, or homozygous, parents, result in an F1 generation that are homozygous and consistent in seed form. There are very few, if any, true F1 hybrids in cannabis because every modern variety is heterozygous (highly variable). The P…
Cannabis crosses are not f1s thread on the mag (different line of discussion)
The bc1 x f1 = f2, had me staring at the screen for a minute too. I know cannabis breeding nomenclature doesn’t always reflect the official botanical one. I brushed it off thinking my broscience had tainted my comprehension and moved on haha
