This has been rattling around my brain especially after reading the posts to that "Don't kill males thread" . Males spread their pollen far and wide as much as naturally possible. Therefore, seedbanks that grow 20-30 strains cannot physically guarantee any of their strains are "pure", or even really F1s. Unless they have 20-30 totally isolated grow rooms for each strain, the females will get pollinated by any flowering male in the area. At $5+ a seed (cheap ones) that little fact must be kept on the super down low by breeders. I just think any grower should be wary of any "pure strain" claims.
