These are the kinds of methods that basement cannabis breeders seem to be completely unaware of, and there’s a lot more where this came from. It seems that most breeders happen across a halfway decent male to cross everything with, and then call themselves professionals… I’ve heard faint rumors of people at least using inbred lines to exploit hybrid vigor, but I honestly don’t trust anything until someone can walk me through their breeding program (this is usually where the conversation ends since no real program is actually being used).
Have you come across many/any breeders that are using legitimate numbers and strategies? I’m not saying they’re not out there, I just haven’t come across a single one yet… I would love to know what you all have seen out there as well.
