How can you reverse engineer a plant when you don't know what the parents are?
While it’s not documented very well/at all there are few people out there with the knowledge of what was or could have been the parents, the guys at hso would likely be on the short list.whether they actually know or guess correctly is anybody’s guess but at the end unless you’ve got clones of the parents you’ll probably still be chasing a 1/million plant to get something 80% thee same as chem 91.

Nspecta has a few interesting theories in regards the Chem lines

Why can't you?

Take an Afghani male cross to Chem 91, then find a male from those seeds and pollinate the Chem 91.
That’s not a legitimate bx though. For it to be a proper back cross you’d have to have a male from the same strain.

So in your example the chem 91 is A and afghani is B

Cross A & B results in AB f1
AB f1 (f) x AB f1 (m) = AB f2
AB f1 (f) x AB f2 (m) = AB bx

Now If you take a second f1 female and find a male from that seed and pollinate the first female it wouldn’t Technically be a bx.

No mate a back cross is when you take an offspring and breed it back to a parent, what you are describing would be an Ix or incross

A BX would look like this

Chem 91 (P1) x Afghani (P1) = F1
P1xF1 or F1xP1=Bx1
P1xBx1or F1xBx1=Bx2

After reading that, my head hurts.
