Crossing two different strains, what was your outcome?

[rshackleferd]

I have read if you cross two strains you will create an F-1 hybrid. According to info on the net the hybrid offspring will be stronger and healthier and will have what they call hybrid vigor with up to 30% percent larger bud. Have any of you breeders experienced anything like this with your hybrid seeds?

hybrids can show heterosis (vigor).
But
It depends on the plants general combine ability.
Some mix up better than others

This was the result of a cross from a couple months ago. I did not notice a 30% increase in bud size ...maybe a 3 % increase but it was fun growing and I have a few seeds to run again so a steady work in progress to develop my own strain. Yes I crossed a couple strains from popular breeders but I'm not blabbing on how I traveled all ends of the planet to collect other stable strains to eventually call my own...

hybrid vigor comes from combining faraway genes, it can have interesting results... i.e. a liger ... lion tiger, can be 1/2 metric tons /500 kilo / 1000 pounds and 3 meters long from head to hind. but they are too big, they can have heart probs! ... a mule is like a big power donkey, they are very strong big donkeys, and more tough than a horse.
