I would trust Bodhi to make better selections than most... His apollo 11 f4 are an open pollination, so not a 1-1 mating... Also looks like an apollo 11 select will be released too...Cause I want the line preserved and not selected to some other guys preferences. There are a lot of legendary phenotypes that came from those seeds. Most legendary is probably Genius, and everyone loves it. But some of us also really like the speedy paranoia inducing plants that the line was notorious for having too.
You can't do proper genetic preservation without a nice selection of plants in open pollination. Tom Hills Haze line is 100+ plants openly pollinated every so often. Meaning the statistical chances of missing an allele are very low. Whereas if you do 1:1 crosses you definitely are losing a piece of the original puzzle.
Tom hills haze is not a good comparison since that line only has 10% outstanding phenos... Pretty sure most would be upset if their apollo 11 beans had the same ratios of good plants...
