say whaaat ? .. ... the "several-generation" description indicates what is called a "stable strain" , a hybrid, that after several generations, exhibits offspring that are all very similar in size and characteristics ... the plant you have in your left hand is a strain, the 'different' plant in your right hand is also a strain ... after crossing them, you will have a hybrid ... once it goes thru several generations, and stabilizes itself, you have a 'new strain' ... then, you can give it a silly name, to boost prices ... :smokin:
the image reaper Reviewed by the image reaper on . definition of a strain.. Morning, I've been doing some thinking.. what is the actual definition of a strain? I've heard people say anyone can create there own strain just by breeding two different plants..? See this too me doesn't sound right. Haven't you just got like a cross. I'll use dogs as an example. If two different breeds of dogs do the wild thing and have puppys they're not a new breed of dog, just mongrels. You need to breed six (I think) generations of these mongrels to have a pure new breed. Rating: 5
