inbreeding is the only way to keep the genetics i believe. i could be wrong but once plant is stable to keep the strain alive you have to inbreed not cross breed. correct me if im wrong but thhats what it says in the cannabis breeding bible ive been studying for the last month or soo

Well if Karma Dragon is F1 you just need to stabilise it, which usually takes around 4 generations, and you can do that in a year with auto's, I can do 2 a year probably in my climate, but I would up for doing a seedrun of these when available.

all i know is when i get em im gonna imbreed for seeds constantly. and donate them to patients and caregivers, so we all can taste the smoke from the dragons nostrils. i will also send them back to the original breeders, if they can start a donation center for patients.

It would be polite to communicate with the breeder if you're going to mass produce their genetics and give them away for free. Ask Aunty Mossy before you go full steam with that, she may be okay with it if you ask nice.

Inbreeding is when you cross plants that shared a common relative perpetually. If too much inbreeding occurs the gene pool will become depressed producing weak sometimes sterile offspring. Cannabis can be inbred several generations if the starting genes were diverse enough.

Inbreeding in humans is brother and sister producing kids. Same mother and sister.
As we are all human, does that mean same race eg. caucasian, asian etc. is inbreeding? I think not as the gene pool is vast for the same race.
However perhaps considering the auto strains are not that many generations old, they could be considered distant relatives at best.

Breeding can produce desirable and undesirable siblings. I am sure the breeders can comment on how they only choose the best parents(determined by traits they prefer) to improve the gene pool of a strain.
Only choosing from a small crop would produce less to choose from for breeding.

If you planted 100 or more plants, there would always be a small few that stand out in the crowd for breeding. If you only grow a few, less to choose from and possibly breed poorer siblings(over several generations, this would become more noticeable).

My point is, inbreeding or not, is not the real issue. Choice of breeding stock for a strain is more important.
Variability can be important, as it does not allow a poor trait to become too dominant in future breeding.

I said my bit, surely someone will cut me to shreds about my theory on breeding.

My 2 cents.
