Correct me if I am wrong...but isn't that the idea of sub-strain isolation of nutrient rich substrates...it gives the grower the ability to follow a sub-strain all the way through the process and decide which one was more acceptable to his/her personal preference...did one prefer the yield of sub-strain a over the potency yet smaller size of sub-strain b? Or perhaps the speeding colonization of sub-strain c at the cost of yield and potency? Forgive the poor fellow that has to decide on sub-strain d for it's fantastic looks, perfect fruit construction, but lower yield and lacking potency.

Call me crazy but I think there is so much more to it than which dominates colonization. It's like pitting a brain against a jock. In a battle of muscle the jock has the brain beat. In a matter of smarts, the brain gets a Nobel while the jock serves the drinks.
