Hybrid Vigor

when you cross two dissimilar strain you don't always get that extreme vigor in the F1 some broad leaf lines can completely dominate the cross 1 way and take it to the broad leaf...In the F2 or 3 of those lines when selected properly you can really find the gems...

You are thinkin of traits, specifically trait dominance...and you would be correct aboot that. But hybrid vigor is not a trait, it kin not be stabilized into a line. It is simply the result of mixin different genetic pools that are dissimilar enough.

studies on cloning reveal that the cloned plant isn't a 100% match to the parent. DNA methylation IS real. Yet....not understood. "Cutting" edge shit, no doubt I think this relates to breeding as well. Once the DNA is methylated, that's inherited by the offspring *they* say. I'm not a super-biotech-researcher, but sources I trust have told me this after using genome sequencing tech. Methylation explains many things. Just tossing that out there for consideration.

i have been working on a few strains for a while they do loose vigor after a while, clone from clone from clone but i also have seen them reunlocked after running them in aroe it seams the O2 in the water almost morfisises them back to life i could be wrong but thats what i have noticed
