You bring up some interesting point about genetics in terms of breeding. Humans are different because the breeding is random but you are right sometimes you wonder about the milkman overstaying his welcome when you look at some families but the dog deal with selective breeding I see more consistency in the higher end breeders. I am into Rottweilers and have had pretty good luck getting what was advertised over the years. As they are (for good and bad sometimes back crossing quite a bit).
What I wonder with plants is how much the environmental factors affect the consistency in the offspring. The growers control so much of what goes on with these plants and then tailoring the section process based on the results. So if a breeder is growing in hydro with CO2, controlled temps, ideal PH, RH, nutrients and lighting uses those results with their breeding selection based on that environment then the seeds were grown in a closet under limited ventilation/control with CFL lighting the offspring could be all over the map.
My biggest challenge with starting this growing adventure is seed and seed bank selection. So far so good but I will see how the whole journey goes. I look at Humbolt, Ace, Sensi, Nirvana and some others as being sound providing your environment is good. Some of these other companies crossing stuff is enough to give you a headache. I am just looking for some constant producers. I rely on the journals of others to track what seems to be working and what is not.
On a side note as far as seed size goes..... I was a little shocked going from bag seed back in the day to this modern strain product. I thought my Nirvana seeds were small until I got my Train Wrecks from Green House Seed Co. Those things look like mini-me's. lol
