It is quite fun to see what monstrosities emerge when we chuck pollen at every strain we can get our hands on. As was mentioned earlier in the thread, it takes a lot of work to breed a stable strain. Half the battle is finding desired traits. Furthermore, how does the smoke hit you? How does it taste? Etc. It can be a long meticulous process.
As an example, In 2014 I selected only 4 plants to work with, out of thousands! They were Mtf, Sfv og, Jack herrer, and Blackberry. I crossed all 4 of these in every combination, and the only keeper was the Mtf x Sfv OG. Why was it a keeper?
Ive been working on this one strain (mtf x sfv og) for years! I cant even recall the amount of seeds ive gone through. Lol
In my earlier years of growing, I definitely made dozens of f1 hybrids. I think its an important part of learning.
Incidentally, Ive never sold a single seed. Ive only traded and gifted them. Intention is everything. The world doesn't need anymore grifters.
Ps. Enjoy the little slideshow. Back in the day when I was young...
