Bay Lines is the community breeding programme on GenetixBay. Members nominate keepers from their documented grows; selected keepers and Stud Book males become parents, and the resulting lines are tester-grown, documented and released with complete GB-ID records.
In practice
A member's keeper, with a good journal, is nominated; if it is picked as a Bay Lines parent the member receives Wild Pearls and a permanent credit on the line record. Each line publishes its tester data, including germination, sex ratio and herm rate. A line must pass a 10-plant screening grow with zero herms to qualify, and loses its place if pooled community reports show a herm rate above 2% (see herm threshold). Seed is handled only through licensed channels where the law requires it.
The aim is the opposite of chucking: chosen parents, real numbers grown out, open records, and credit to the people who found the plants.
Don't confuse with
- Seed Club: the licensed partner programme through which some seed reaches members.
- Hype drops: Bay Lines are released on evidence, not countdowns.
The Stud Book is GenetixBay's showcase of documented male plants, with selection journals, keeper details and sire credits; males are encouraged and rewarded.A GB-ID is GenetixBay's permanent identifier, such as GB-GEN-0001842-6, for a genetic line, landrace, seed batch, plant, cut, grow, harvest, trial or document, so records never get lost or renamed.Germination is the stage where a viable seed absorbs water, splits its shell and pushes out a root (radicle), usually within 1-7 days at 20-30 °C.The herm threshold is GenetixBay's two-tier herm standard: a 10-plant screening grow with zero herms to be featured, then about 150 or more community-grown plants before a line can be Verified under 2% herm rate.In cannabis growing, a plant (usually female) that develops both pistillate and staminate flowers or anthers; botanists call it intersex or monoecious expression.The Seed Club is GenetixBay's seed programme run through a licensed partner, offering tested seed lots with published batch records where the law allows.A keeper is a plant from a seed hunt good enough to be kept alive as a clone or mother for future runs or breeding.
