The reason the answers here don't seem clear is that genetics is not a simple thing. The quick answer to your question is, if you produce seed from your Durban Poison, and then grow out that seed, you'll end up with a fairly random combination of 1) males 2) females with "good" characteristics 3) females with "bad" characteristics. 4) females with some of both good and bad characteristics. You WILL grow plants, but the odds are that you won't be happy with the result. "Stablized" hybrids will produce less of this randomness.

So basically what you end up with is a numbers problem, based on your (probably small) sample size. In other words you probably don't have enough room to grow the 100's of plants that would be required for a successful breeding program.

That's why everyone here is going to tell you that your best bet is to find a few females that have good characteristics (referred to as the phenotype), and clone from those chosen females. The rewards from cloning are many, such as uniform height, uniform potency, uniform nutrient/light requirements, etc....which is why most people use clones.

Remember that most people here that are answering questions alot don't do this stuff half-assed. MJ growers are some of the best gardeners and plant geneticists in existance, so its sometimes not easy to get an "easy" answer out of them:-)
