Omuerta heri f4 he had when he come out a couple yrs ago was the only complete herm I’ve grown in 30 yrs. not just a male sac or two, both male and female flowers the complete length of plant. CSI, stray fox, inkognito (great sale right now) founding fathers for fems, imho. Always remember when someone gives you the stabilized worked line speech, the chems and ogs and gg4 basically were accidents, not necessarily worked lines. I am flowering out some Afghan landrace, jbad aka tora bora and it’s def not for production or even headstash more for a preservation project, but hey it’s a worked line by nature lol

Pretty sure ethos made up the term r1, r2, r whatever. If you only see One breeder using the term,that probably means they don’t really know what they are doing. More knowledgeable people have posted info in regards to what the scientific terms are in regards to plant breeding, and I have never heard r1 until ethos started marketing the term.

Obviously late to the party, but yeah I think you're right, Ethos just made that shit up. In trying to learn this genetics stuff I ran across Ethos seeds and didnt understand the r1, r2 designations. Thats what brought me here. Now I see.

My research has led me to Dark Horse Genetics. Though I havent popped any of their beans yet

R1 just means reversed 1 time.

So if you take a female plant and treat it with sts it will then produce male flowers and pollen. Now take that pollen and use it on more females to get feminized seeds.

Those seeds would be the r1 generation? Or at least that what I would assume. But that is technically still just an f1 cross. If you use female pollen on the same cut you reversed you get s1 generation.
