Silly Question

dmforcier · January 13, 2017

What are the odds of getting a true copy from a hybrid? For instance, a couple years ago I received seeds of "7 Pot Primo", purported to be a hybrid developed by Tony Primeaux. (I didn't get the seeds from him, but from someone who grew the variety.) My surviving plant looks and produces just what I would expect from Tony's. (Anyone want a peck of Primos?)

What are the odds that its seeds will produce true? Or is there no way to know without knowing the traits bred for?

--------------

BTW, to be clear, I'm not confused by the meaning of "OP" as used in this community. I'm just wondering how a term indicating potential sexual promiscuity came to mean "generational stability"?

Consider the case of Fred Farkel and Ferd Berfel. Fred is exposed - willing or not - to promiscuity; As a result, none of his children look like him.
