I was left with more questions about Real Seed Co's Afghaan 90 and wanted to (ignorantly pontificate and) ask more questions without clogging Skunky Dunk's thread.
I was trying to figure out when RSC first started offering Afghaan 90, from what I found it seems like it was pretty recent as the results all seemed to be from within the last year or so. I was also looking at the description of the Afghaan 90 Dwarf seeds they offer and was left wondering a few things, namely how many true breeding Afghan seedlines have tall and short phenos, and how many generations of breeding it would take to reliably get short pheno offspring.
The latter first, does anyone know how many generations of breeding it would take, with two-pheno truebreeding seedlines, to get say, 75% short pheno offspring that are also truebreeding for shortness? I suppose it matters how many seeds you start off with, let's say 20 to keep the hypothetical semi-realistic, and you get 100% germination. Would it be possible to achieve something like that in one generation, by selecting only short pheno parents out of the available parental pool?
As for Afghan heirloom seedlines clearly Afghaan 90 has a tall pheno and short pheno, as does Petrolia Headstash. Does anyone know whether that's true of the other Afghan heirlooms that've made their way around over the years? Sounds like RSC's Deep Chunk is pretty uniform as to structure, anybody know about Tom Hill's? Not sure they were considered truebreeding but what about Maple Leaf Indica and Kush 4?
