Try to find a landrace. Or something with lineage you can actually trace. Everything (exaggeration, you can still find landraces and some classic strains but they are few and far between) now is hybridized to shit, there’s ruderalis in everything (not even on purpose, but there is), and there are a LOT of shitty “breeders” chucking pollen to make a quick buck.
Try to find someone who’s honest about their genetics (again, obviously some people are but most people aren’t).
And honestly I’m on board with your last point. I don’t even think we disagree with each other, it’s definitely not as bad as bananas, we’re just looking at it from different perspectives.
How are you defining stability? If you get more than one pheno in a pack, it’s unstable IMO. And there are VERY few breeders that you only get one pheno in a pack.
“Everything’s been hybridised to shit and everything has ruderalis in it”
Well you’re clearly exaggerating. But yes, pretty much all strains are hybrids. And why wouldn’t they be? Getting growth properties from indica is almost a must since who the hell has the space to grow an actual sativa, like a three meter tall tree with airy specks for buds.
This is what “bud” looked like in the 70’s, and that probably explains why it used to more commonly known as “weed” than “bud”.
So yeah, the variety and quality of the strains we have is nothing short of amazing.
I literally said I was exaggerating so yes I’m glad you picked up on that. I still don’t know what you mean by stability, you’re not explaining that very effectively. And plenty of guys have room for a 12 foot plant that isn’t even that big.

Genotype stability.
