can someone explain to me the difference between a hybrid and a cross between a sativa and indica. when you cross a sativa and a indica isn't that a hybrid? they are two cadigories. i'm missing something.
 
must be some good stuff you be hitting........I think your correct......... or it could be when you and I make seeds its a cross......... when a breeder does it.. it's a hybrid.:lama:
 
Thanks G13 i love learning new things, there is too much key words that can change the whole meaning. I thought if i cross i can call it hybrid...
 
I always considered a hybrid, a cross that has been stabilized.
 
I have wondered kind of the same thing before--when does a cross become a strain? I have decided, much like duck, it is when it has been stabilized.

:yeahthat: The key is that the hybrid is a cross of 2 significantly different things. I think the "new strain" comes in when you have bred a hybrid that is different enough from anything else AND has been stabilized enough to maintain the significant characteristics of the original hybrid across 90% of the seeds through rebreeding. There are more finite terms to differentiate the variable results when breeding but to me the 2 terms(above) are more encompassing of the larger group of breeding results.

But I don't think its enough to cross my PC and Goji together and call the offspring a "new strain". JMO :)
