Trusted DNA test??

So it was mentioned to me in a comment the other day that i should get a DNA test done on my plant to find out it lineage...since i dont know what the strain is. My plants super beautiful and if i could know where she comes from, then maybe i could grow her again one day. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Yeah, sorry to say that’s not how it works. Since the seed was bag seed, then I’m guessing pollination was accidental. So you can clone it, but you will never find an exact replica seed. You might be able to replicate the genetics, but some of her traits will always be different. It’s like those clone only strains, GG#4 & Thin mint GSC are good examples of this. Breeders can replicate the strain, but the particular phenotype can not be replicated.
 
Well i say bag seed because idk exactly where it came from. But it could have come from an original strain. So thats why i want to test the DNA to see just what it is and where it came from.
 
Hmmm. So you pay $300, and if your strain is not listed in their “Phylo galaxy” you get to create one (guessing). Looks like they can tell you closest lineage (wondering if that is also limited to their “phylo galaxy” strains). Even at that, closest linage might not be actual linage. I’m a bit skeptical about what I have read so far.
This might be ok for businesses trying to create their own unique strain, but doesn’t seem like a 100% accurate way to find out what the genetics are from a single seed. You could get lucky and have a strain that is already in their data base, but is that worth $300 to find that out?

Other than cloning, what would be the issue if this plant was made to seed its self, maybe just 1 branch. Get a few feminized seed and grow those, then do it again,,,
 
Just making seeds like that will give a large amount of genetic variations. So if you got 10 seeds, they could all potentially be very genetically different from eachother.
 
Definitely reveg it after you harvest her. It's really easy to do. And just make clones. This was stated above but that's your best bet. You can also make clones during flowering but it takes longer.
 
Ok you have me stumped on that reply. Especially since it takes alot less time from beginning to end for more bud. So please explain. Because I just dont get it.
 
Very true, as in anything you breed, many of my family have done DNA genetic testing, the results are amazing, my grandmother was full blood indian, my sister shows zero,,,
But doing the seed is fun, at least for me!
