Very correct, however many people have this hobby. Not everyone can have room to grow out the HUNDREDS of plants needed to really find something to select from. Some of us are in states still governed by dickeads and immoral laws which drastically limit the # of plants it is "safe" to grow. Everyone can make their own viable seeds, and ime good results (ie- viable beans) can be obtained by a novice grower who isn't a "breeder" @ all. I simply "selected" the 2 best phenos from only 10 plants. Naturally, this isn't breeding, or even (really) selecting, However I ended up with many viable beans which actually displayed the traits I was hoping to obtain: (orange taste/ smell /pink pistils). I can't remember how often they showed up, but most had the orange smell and (a few) had the pink pistils. The smoke from some phenos was FANTASTIC, leaving experienced heads "Rippified Mc-Fried" You are right, it's not breeding, but it sure is funBasement breeders?
Always making weak and unstable genetics.......
Just crossing with out back crossing? How many plants used? Best pheno's?
A true breeder uses HUNDREDS of clones to pick his breed stock.
He back crosses to stabilize and knows how and why.
