Good video, until.. Is that dude an "illegal alien"? No trick phrases like, "undocumented worker"! Thank you.

Other than that, good video. It's not actually possible to "keep true to seed" growing other than organic, right?

[MageesterMixit]

My thought on the "keep true to seed". I personally don't think it's possible unless there grown organically.

[subcoolfl]

The method of growing has no affect on the genetic makeup of a tomato strain.

[MageesterMixit]

When the plants were first created or came into existence, the chemicals didn't exist, so plants really don't understand, or maybe better put, don't have a need for 'em, actually both. There un-natural to the plants, may be a weakening of the strain, even though it may take several years, give or take. Who knows how the varieties have changed though the years?

[MageesterMixit]

I personally think that the kind of fertilizer that a person uses changes the taste of the produce: have to consider the weather, hoping all conditions are favorable. There not exactly the same from year to year, I mean there can be variables.

Whatever would affect the plant would also affect the seed.

That's the simple main principle. Pretty standard stuff, alot of people miss it, I think. A good study I think, for those interested.

[MageesterMixit]

The best of gardeners should be improving upon the plant, if at all possible. Now, that would take a certain skill, good stuff.

[subcoolfl]

Environmental factors affect a plants phenotype not it's genotype.

[MageesterMixit]

So, according to you, "life ends where science says"? And, who are these controllers of life, that they know where life begins and ends?

[spyknife]

[Gratz1333]
