Sup all, this is something i'm interested in, methods behind selective breeding, and breeding programs, like the ones that have produced the FTS original cultivars.
i'm curious what are the main contributing factors to generating a notable plant, does selective breeding, and successive generation produce the most unique cultivars, or are alot of them, attributed to sheer luck, or germinating many thousands of seeds
is it mainly "these two plants have cool traits, i'll cross them, and see which ones are passed on", is it "i'll grow thousands of seeds, and see which ones are notable", or is there some partially reproducible science behind it?
cheers
