Grower mates, what are your opinion about something that i lately noticed. Despite of the evolution on genetics in the last years, have you noticed that it is a true lottery get strains with different phenotypes of the ones that are announced by sellers? Tell me your experience!

Yes, practically all the time! Keep in mind that it takes about 2 years of work (so at least 5 generations) to stabilize a genetic. But as we all know, every year new varieties come out as a result of crosses of the previous year's varieties! So basically a scam, the only safe varieties, are the older ones! By making a cross, the first generation will have 50% similarity to the mother, and 50 to the father, so when you plant something new, you know very well that it is not stable at all. You have 99% stability only after about 9-10 generations

Crap shoot is saying it mild. I had some Bloody Skunk Auto from Sweet Seeds. 99% are supposed to be red, all 3 were green. Bruce Banner Auto from ILGM. 4 plants 2 green, 1 purple, and 1 speckled purple and green.

En mis dos grows actuales, en dos strains - uno anunciado como Sativa Auto y otra con un ratio 75 Indica y 25 Sativa, me salió en la Sativa Auto, una perfecta Indica y la del ratio 75 Indica/25 Sativa, se ha desarrollado la predominancia menor, o sea me ha "salido" una Sativa. Dos productores distintos, los dos a los cuales les considero como muy buenos desarrolladores de geneticas, con strains muy conceptuadas en el mercado de semillas y con resultados en regla muy buenos, y esta temporada me han salido "en loteria" dos fenotipos distintos a lo expectable y lo que me llevó al cultivo particular de cada uno de los strain. Es también vuestra opinión que la masificación de la oferta "semillera" contribuye para estos resultados menos deseados? Hay factores que contribuyen a que se desarrollen fenótipos contrários ó con el fenótipo "recesivo" de los ratios presentados? Vuestros comentários y opiniones son muy importantes...
