With that being sed...who puttin in the work? Who is actually breeding? Bodhi aint, csi aint, fudge aint, archive aint, nobody ismy answer is "STABLE" lines most chuckers don't work the plant numbers and devote the years into bringing a quality stable product to the table. True line breeding, stabilizing lines takes years of devotion, a keen eye for detail and a lot of patience. It also requires more note taking and keeping than required for a thesis or dissertation. And one must also have the ability to absorb the failures along with the successes without giving up.
Most importantly for lack of a better word, the REAL breeder must a have a passion for the plant and not let the lust for $$$$ get in the way of said passion.
I had high hopes. You sound defensive and annoyed that your methods would be questioned. But you have to expect that. We’ve been here before. Either explain yourself or don’t. But please don’t get defensive when we question your acumen.
Fwiw i didnt get that impression at all...
Yeah I'll be making some threads for that exact purpose man , still learning how to work this siteDo you have any pix of parents you used and pix of the offspring?
Yes a Cultivar is a line that's been stabilized !!!One thing tbat stood out to me and the reason i decided originally to respond to this thread is. In the 2nd paragraph of the first post of this thread is says "we specialize in creating unique cannabis cultivars" when i read that i thought to myself....heres somebody thats really "next level" .....then as i read on i noticed that all the strains were were just crosses. A cultivar by its very definition is a line that has been worked and stabilized.
According to the international code of gnomenclature for cultivated plants this defines a cultivar....View attachment 818015
Notice it ses "selected for a particular characteristic" aka selective breeding
It also ses distinct, uniform and stable.
Cultivar is not just a word to throw around cuz it sounds fancy. anyone that knows anything about plant breeding knows its a very specific term.
i was more interested in specifics. Breeding practices and techniques....?
What makes a good breeder to me...
Selective breeding, developing an actual strain over generations isolating desired traits, takin a strain further than f1, if all we're doin is takin a male and pollenating every clone only we can get our hands on or reversing the flavor of the month strain and usin it on every plant we have ...are we breeding or pollen chucking?
Aside from that transparency, customer service, all the other stuff u mentioned...
Imo, there arent real breeders anymore...just pollen chuckers. Im doin similar type "breeding" projects to what u are doing and by no means wud i consider myself anything more than a pollen chucker. Alls us "breeders" are doin nowadays is makin crosses. Were r not actually breeding in the Gregor mendel sense of the word. I am by no means suggesting that there isnt fire to be found by rubbing 2 fire strains together but breeding it is not.
Couldn't have said it better , that's what I'm trying to do & don't plan on stopping even as I get old and wrinkly !my answer is "STABLE" lines most chuckers don't work the plant numbers and devote the years into bringing a quality stable product to the table.

Ace Seeds is one bank that is an example of long and tiresome breeding by some dedicated experts. I saw a show years ago of them collecting landrace strains in places like central Africa. I thought you was going to offer, like G gnome says, well developed genetics that you have bred for years. Pollen shucker is a good way to put it, LOL. :cool:
I'm sorry that your ""GG#4"" Is Nanner-ificNanner-rific gg4, in all crosses.... Jesus.
I'll have plenty of pics/threads for you in the near futureI think this the part where we say.....
Pix!!!!!....or it didnt happen.
I wud love to see some flower pix of the strains being used in these crosses
