Variegation is genetically unhealthy. It's not a success from pollinating a plant. Impaired photosynthesis, stunted growth and development, increased susceptibility to diseases, are known facts about this genetic mutation and are well documented. It's not a win. But you have to pretend it is something fantastic so your ego isn't hurt, and you dont look foolish. Go on console yourself some more.
I know these studies exist. Do you have trouble finding them? You may have to limit your search settings to scholarly articles only, or just use a website like pubmed or frontiers, whatever.
i have tried a few queries with google and google scholar without much success finding detailed report on such varieties.
It likely exists for other plants like tobacco and vegetables and such. Botanical studies cover many types of plants and may not be specialized to only strawberries, only lilies, or only cannabis. The results you got might still be relevant. For example if tobacco mosaic virus, or genetic anamolies is in the title or abstract, more relevant information could be there but you have to go deeper into the publication in many cases. If the plant lacks chlorophyll in areas, compared to a healthy plant, its obviously going to be weaker at photosynthesis. There is the obvious and the other not so obvious must be found through deeper study. Its not always easy to sift through the information. General understanding will bring answers eventually. Keep digging.
adjusted the queries and found this:
What can help is a different approach. You study genetic anomalies in plants, and then apply that knowledge to whatever plant is of interest. Because the query is actually genetic anomalies, diseases, pathogens etc. These effect plants throughout the plant kingdom. Limiting to only cannabis is not helpful, as you found out. Change to focus from cannabis to genetic anomalies in plants. As cannabis becomes less stigmatized over time, more studies will be done on it specifically. Prohibition has limited research. Thankfully that has changed a little and many studies, short and long term are being done.
So instead of researching for information on a certain disease in the Etruscan Shrew, which may be very limited or not exist, it is more helpful to study the disease and how it presents in mammals, in the animal kingdom, then small mammals, and then apply that understanding to the Etruscan Srew. I hope that makes sense. Identify what information you need first, then narrow it to your particular focus, like cannabis. Or african violets. Whatever.
Minus the Roundup?Or corn
I guess nobody here grows much of that lol. The corn we all love to eat comes from 2 parents that we wouldn't. Flint corn and Dent corn, both IBLs. The corn varieties we eat are crosses only available in seed from patent protected parents. If you try to cross it again you get the F2 generation and you loose all the hybrid vigor and are back to Flint and dent corn phenos.
If your goal is a TRUE F1 hybrid, you have to have true IBLs that have been carefully selected over time with very large populations to choose from. These IBLs are usually "crappy" plants on their own but because of their genetic uniformity we get the magic of hybrid vigor in the F1 generation.
Breeding any plant should be goal oriented.
This thread in the beginning, while not my style, was very goal oriented. I'll definitely give the op that.
And lastly, we are going to have TRUE F1 patented cannabis hybrids available very soon that will blow away what's currently available. With the genetic marking they're doing for things like PM resistance, chem profiles and flower time the cannabis market will eventually look a lot like corn
That's in the study I posted, it shows a plan for F1s. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2020.573299/fullOr corn

i’ve grown one and didn’t see a huge improvement! Maybe a little! But that’s pretty small sample size! I can see their potential!
Seemed like such a nice guy. Not for nothing, he’d be voted most likely to be knocked out at a party.
seemed nice?
