I've always been annoyed with all the names weed gets when there is no way to verify it's true provenance. I've been wondering for years why there wasnt some genetic database setup somewhere.
im admittedly not a scientist. dont know much about genetics and dna. other than what I get from CSI Miami.
I understand there are some legal issues and maybe breeders dont want to be tagged to a strain or whatever.
But as it gets more legal and at the same time more and more hybrids are released wouldnt now be the time to get the database started? before its all so washed out well never find what came from where?
to the same end would it be possible you could then verify that somebody shitstink brown x blueberry fruit dongler actually had those parents. assuming the parents are in the database.
I see some problems like how to trust that the database is correct. who gets to decide that forever after this guys haze is the haze..
As it stands now I can sell seeds and say they are the fireass gsc forum cuts x nevils haze. Who are you to dispute it? some random chatter in the forums. Id say most people buying MY fire nevil GSC wont come looking for info on it. Possibly the person buying the seeds. But honestly I bought seeds a few times based on pictures. I didnt have any idea there was a part of the forum where people debate where strains come from and whos lying and whos a scumbag.
Maybe this topic has come up before? links?
Oh and after typing this I found that a DB has already been started. by the fucking cops...
