What is an Inbred line?

As we have mentioned previously in the article titled ‘What is a Landrace?”, a Landrace cannabis strain comes from a particular location. They can show a lot of variation, although they retain certain traits that allow it to be still identifiable as a member of that particular landrace lineage.

Landraces are very useful to have in your collection, as you never know when some sort of natural disaster may occur and wipe out a population, or whether a country's government may pass some sort of law or initiative to destroy cannabis plants in a certain area, both eventualities have happened many times before. Landraces have a lot of uses in breeding also. However their instability brings awkwardness, and makes landraces difficult to work with when the plant is grown by companies that produce medicine out of cannabis (such as GW pharmaceuticals), or growers in countries or states where personal cultivation is allowed.

Inbred lines refer to strains that have undergone repeated crossings with themselves or closely related varieties. This process narrows down genetic diversity more than typical hybrids or landrace types. In essence, inbred lines are a breeder's endeavor to enhance strain uniformity, emphasizing specific valuable traits. These chosen traits are consistently selected and reinforced, ensuring their consistent presence in subsequent generations.

Larry's Lemon OG (OG Kush - Lemon Larry) - Garden of Green

“The "Lemon-OG.Kush Larry" is growing very homogeneous, there are only two distinct phenotypes which are exclusively in height and slightly different in the flower structure. One phenomenon is the "Lemon Larry“ who is growing a bit more compact and wide, almost like Indica leaves formed. The buds are tight and staggered off a very intense and strong odor, which is almost too strong, and also by several ziplock bags clearly visible. “

Original Cheese (IBL) - Paradise Seeds

Since, we have crossed it with several varieties but never released any, instead we decided to make it available in its pure original form. (in bred line)
Plants are giving high yields of very hardy & large chunky buds with the distinctive Cheese smell and flavour. We recommend the Original Cheese (IBL) to all lovers of very pungent Skunk.”
