Hammerhead Genetics?!

Hello @Hammerhead571

New guy here. I have a question and I hope I do not get blasted for it but........ What do people mean by the s1,s2,s3 etc...... is this how many runs have been made from a mother plant? Thank you and sorry for the dumb question, but we have to start somewhere and what better way to do so. :)

I do not understand what the big deal is about feminized and auto seeds, why are people so against them? I do not get it. not meant in a bad way just trying to find out why.

Thank you

Im not a fan of Auto seeds. These use ruderalis genetics to get that auto flower response. We don't like genetics with that trait in the mix... . . S=Selfing .. Ea time the progeny is selfed u add a #.
Example would be.

gsc x gsc = s1 ... gscs1 x gsc1=s2 ....gscs2 x gscs2=s3...Selfing is the fastest way to get homogeneous plants.

If u made ur selections properly along the way s4 would be an IBL line. I don't see any reason to go beyond that. to much inbreeding causes issues.

No, fem seeds have different parents. More genetic diversity. You will have to do more work to get to homogeneous plants. All depends on the traits ur looking for.
Hey @Hammerhead571-what kind of differences can s1's have? My cb #2 is more vigorous & has more resin & the nose is different then cb#1 at the same stage-i assumed since they are s1's there would be no differences in the two phenotypes

S1 can have up to 50% that are not homogeneous. What ever genetics are in CB will show up. There's no way to know what that is. This is why we want homogeneous plants. We know what can be expected. There will be very little deviation from the original as u go if selections where done properly.
