Well sure - if you had 2 different awesome strains. I'm not neccessarily trying to make a new strain, just to find a mommy and make more seeds that have a better chance of being like her...

Lets use a retail strain - Bogbubble - for example.. rather than buy 10 packs of seeds ($$$$$) and flower them all, looking for the one that Bog had in mind for the lineage, can I get away with using 1 pack of ten seeds ($), then inter-breed them, to get a chance at that same plant that Bog liked?
