F1 Strains
These F1 hybrids inherited the dominant genes from both their P1 parents. This is a genetic condition called heterosis, also known as hybrid vigor or overdominance. The result is a stronger, more robust plant with a higher potency and yield than the parents used to create it. This original F1 generation is actually quite stable with little variation in traits, meaning if you planted seeds of Skunk #1, you knew all the plants from those seeds would have highly potent buds that smelled like they got sprayed by a skunk. It would be a relatively uniform and genetically stable batch of f1 strain seeds.
To help explain all this let’s imagine a scenario: You’re stranded alone on a beautiful tropical island with ten of those original Skunk #1 seeds. With nothing else to do, you plant them all and get to growing. As those first buds appear under the tropical sun you notice how similar they look next to each other, in terms of structure, height and aroma. Since you planted all the seeds you’ll have to make more for your next round. You cut out the males, but leave the strongest looking one to pollinate a few f1 strain female plants. When harvest time comes, you get to enjoy some of the finest, most pungent and potent pot on the planet. You save the seeds and start to grow another crop.
