Instead of relying on what your bro says, you can learn about the real science which Gregor Mendel worked out over 150 years ago. I learned it in high school but that's because I wasn't getting stoned beneath the bleachers during biology.Well my personal experience matched up with what csi said and he's made a shit load of s1's. Notoriously the triangle kush was hard to self and he pulled it off. So I will trust that over what some of these bird brains have to say on here.
A quick check with the Punnett square reveals that each heterozygous gene has a 25% chance of coming up double recessive in each S1 seed. So how close to the mother an S1 is depends on how stable the mothers genetics are!
Personally, I love S1 seeds and pretty much only buy those now. If it was good enough to reverse and chuck then I want to try it.
Selfing is powerful genetic selection. You're much more likely to find elite level smoke in an S1 of an elite than the chucks made in the same run of seeds. Certainly more likely than with regular chucks made with a male chosen for its stem rub and frosty balls.
