Again, the sfv in there makes it NOT a bx.

Yes, the a 91 female x male would be f2s, and then the bx of that would be the male from the f2 generation crossed back to the 91. I said that already twice. You just didn't read what I said. The first paragraph at the top of this page says. Grow out f2 generation find a male and cross that to the mom.
You are incorrect. a backcross is very specifically when you take a female (or male, I guess) and knock it up (scientific term) with an often unrelated plant of the opposite gender. You then take the opposite gendered progeny that most resemble the mom, and repollenate a clone of the original mom. This is a first generation backcross. You can repeat this to narrow down the gene base to that of the original mom within 4 generations. The most well known example of a backcross is in the story of the creation of Cinderella 99, in which a cross of the princess bagseed female was backcrossed 3 times (or cubed) to isolate the genes of the initially clone-only princess.

backcross, the mating of a hybrid organism (offspring of genetically unlike parents) with one of its parents or with an organism genetically similar to the parent.

I don't know what magical cannabis definition you are using but deadhead (the hybrid) mixed with the 91 (a parent) is a backcross. The only reason it wouldn't be is if you're saying the deadhead is not a hybrid because the sfv and the 91 are not genetically unlike.
And what you are describing is not really a backcross. You are talking about inbreeding.

I did read what you wrote. The example you gave of a bx (Biker Kush) used SFV... how is that a bx, but what swerve is doing is not? :wall:

Okay let's all agree to disagree. Back to rare dankness, how about that ghost train haze #1. Top 10 strains of the year in the December issue of high times.

Or how about the nice load just hittin my flower room.?? Tangerine Trainwreck haze,Ox, RD Tester #3,Afghani Poison, the Ghost Train Haze #1(the GladStoned Cut ;)
and of course KarmasBitch.

Found a home for the Gifted GTH#1 last time at the GC3. great guy, him and his Pard ran a nice Ghost OG ( I grabbed a nice taste,well grown nice job). He told me about this company in Colo that was workin the Line ;)."here let me show ya ", he says...yeap RD... He had been tryin to get his growin partner to open up to some new strains and really wanted to buy a pack someday. So sorry RD I may hav cost you a someday sale.. but hey it sounded like such a gooooooood home


and on that RD tester? I had heard it was a finicky strain,but it came thru a rough changeover like a trooper. I am afraid a couple are just gonna be beastly hefers

Those are some nice LPBs.

Anyone know if having Rare Darkness feeding off the same reservoir as 4 Corners and LPBs will be an issue as far as slowing down the increase of the nutrient concentration. Not worried about difference in height since I will dedicate a section with lower lights for 8 Rare Darkness plants if I get them. I could grab a second reservoir if necessary. Also considering Colorado Diesel.
Well I guess a separate reservoir for each strain until I can determine which strains can keep up with each other regarding nutrient concentration. Going for 1 lb per plant of LPBs after seeing the size of the plant from Nightmarecreature's pics, def lots of potential there.

BTW, 4 Corners have popped and are in soil.

there's no agreeing to disagree here. they're right and you're wrong.

ok carry on..
I still feel a TRUE backcross uses only offspring from the original line to select from to cross back to the mom. Yes, taking any muddled progeny and crossing it back is a "backcross" but it's not true breeding for an inbred stable line.

Anyway, yes high times is a joke, doesn't take away from the fact that gth #1 tested at 25.49% thc and is a beastly yielder

Kind of wish I was there not to move beans but because I haven't seen any ghost in state grown by anyone but me or my team. I'd like to see how it is. She's a tough one to dial.

Oh, well then it wast ghost og. I'm no longer interested. My buddy just stocked some fire ghost flower and wax at herbal solutions in ypsi.

Are there any grow journals for any of the rare dankness strains? Specifically for indicas and kushes. Or am I going to be the first person to make one...

When the OG GTH #1 hit High Times cover I looked all over internet for a pack. Found it at TSD, JB was running promo, got a free pack of Somali. Couldn't fucking believe it. Ran them both and did journals. Still till this day say that was one of best promo's i've seen. Anyway, Homeless has the only ghost train cut from that pack. I have another pack to run this winter, along with another Somali. I took a jar of last oz from my shit and homeless ran some bho from it, ghost taste was fucking amazing!
