All very good questions. And I agree about having good variation. I dont plan on IBLing anything, I like variety and I like to keep as much of the gene pool locked up in a seed line. Im tired of breeders losing/dropping genes in favor of commercial qualities. So I like to maintain some variation to maintain those genes that are locked up instead of breeding them all out and losing them forever. Just look at the current market and you can see all the breeders choosing for different traits than I breed for and then we as a collective lose them forever. Like the real deal old school piney ghani's, roadkill, bunk BB gum genes from amsterdam, anyone remember the real old school Kali mist that was super uber dank...well thats gone now also, And the list goes on. I dont want to lose all those traits so I try not to work a line too much. Id like to get things to a point where as a consumer you can still get great keepers out of one pack of beans, but still maintain some variety because everyone looks for different characteristics and I think it is healthier in the big picture to keep and maintain specific genes that so easily get lost when breeders breed for yield and quick finishing times and dropping those heavy hitters and aroma profiles. So you will not see me IBLing much, I will work to stabilize lines but I will never breed everything out of it.
