The way I see it it's like this, Just try and play along for a sec
Say all of us hardy seed hounds with all of our Proven Cuts, All the Vaults full of Beans. ...collaborated together and added up our arsenal of just different
clone only strains we had. I'd say we would be damn close to having 20+?no? ..strains of
"dis·tin·guished" proven Dank. Now.. add in our 1,000's upon 1,000's of seeds. to not find absolute game changing Male Genotypes in that amount of beans is silly to think...right? flower the males.. find and keep the "Extremely Notable ones" out of say 8,000 seeds (saying 8 people joined in.. I know I have close too or over 1,000 now) to say 2-4 males would be found is not saying to much..? right? (I'm just playing around with ideas) now you X your males to the 20 clones... (M#1x20C)+(M#2x20C)+(M#3x20C)+(M#4x20C)=80 strains to test now.
Starting to cut out the shit would be a task to say the least but, let's think here for a min... if doing it big I'm not doing it legal... so, what can one Warehouse handle(controllable that is)? 1,000? 2,000? 3,000? plants.. if you even tested 100 beans of each strain you still only be at 8,000 plants... that's what? 3 to 4 cycles... to test everything a first run.... a little under two years to test multiple runs on all 80 strains. So,lets say that 30+ 40+ strains were just Garbage completely useless X's that would still leave you with 40-50 X's some that were not too shabby or too great and probably 10-12 that were pretty darn good. Time total for this (perfect never got caught scenario) would be...?
growing out first 8,000 seeds at 2,000 at a time, seed-flower time we say... 4-5 months? A little under 3 years to run them all to find the males..
X's all males to your 20females... now I don't breed so, to me I would think you could pollinate your females by said male and then return them after a misting of water to the main flower room..(correct me if I'm wrong again as I'm no expert at all) if so you can handle them all in one run at a warehouse .. so seed harvests? 9 weeks? 10 weeks? normal harvest window? early harvest window? if you can't tell I have never created beans..
I'm just going to say non- issues on this particular part... as in the scheme of things creating the beans would be the shortest task of them all.. right?
now testing and all that jazz is kept up to you and your friends trusting that you understand DANK! I personally don't want my 8,000+ multiple Illegal run to have too many photo's to come bite one in the ass when I do become legal with my seed company. I could see being able to trust someone with out them providing me with photographic evidence. Now I trust a few of you guys here on your opinions and would buy a strain you recommended with out thinking most of the time because I know you guys don't run poop!
So, yea anyways back to warehouse.
3 years to run all 8,000 seeds looking for males
2 years testing
say around 5 years? add a couple years for mistakes and your still under a decade. Now, I know this is the not the way seeds makers probably do there thing. But, I don't think it has as much to do with how many X's a breeder has that is important as how much you trust that person's eye for keepers.
I think I may have forgot a few steps (I'm Baked,Grilling,Drinking,on the laptop in the back yard an being directed away from the internet...so, if anyone wants to play along please join in on this and fix what's broken or add in
