I feel what you're saying but you should have read my post because it explains the context lol.too stoned to bother reading the entire story here, but for what it's worth i think ppl with mental strain libraries like nspecta, meangene, bodhi, kevin jodrey and other large outdoor croppers who go way back, even ppl who go back to forums like overgrow would be the best keepers of accurrate and relavant information like all the various expressions and the likely lineages involved based off their solid foundation and sheer number of plants they've seen. how this information gets disseminated for history sake is happening right before our eyes. places like this. communtiy driven things like the potcast. sure it takes some effort on the next persons part to gain this knowledge, but things like phylos are inherently waek as without context it doesn't add up to much for anyone beyond those same ppl in the previous group. if anythings it gives the general public and the novice a false sense of reliability on things that require much more to understand. things i read other ppl already point out.
peace and stay stoned
testing is a good thing, it's a tool for the toolkit, it shouldn't be overstated tho
If I send two identical cuts in to phylos and say one is TK and one is OG they can tell they're the same and put them in the same group. I respect the OG breeders etc. but there's no way even they can guarantee the cut they were given as "A" is actually that.. You can give two growers the same cut and they can appear to be completely different strains at the end.. One can be grown terribly and the other perfectly and they would be unrecognizable as being genetically identical.. However, if you send cuts of each to phylos they will be grouped together because they share the same genetic makeup.
Nspecta sent in an S1 of chem I believe and phylos put that in its own group because it is not genetically identical to the mother.
Personally, I'll trust the science over what is essential stoned anecdotes (mental strain library).. hell, just look at the legend of chemdog. You can get three people who were actually involved, in the same room, and get 3 different stories
Honestly, I dont even give a damn and thought we were putting this shit behind us lol Whether its called OG or TK the cut has the possibility of being great if grown properly.. and just as likely it can be unrecognizable if not.
