Bred Only Experiments - satisfying curiosity

  • Inspired by Shelybear's "Raising Experiments" thread. Ever wonder what the odds are that the seed you just bred will grow up to become a bred only variant? Well, why not try and find out. This experiment will be similar to Shely's, except that instead of parentless, it'll be using bred seeds.

    Here's how it's gonna go down:

    * The experiments will happen one species at a time
    * The experiments last until there's at least 50 plants (though it would be great if we got even more than that)
    * Only bred plants will count (obviously)
    * Post the seeds you've bred here (preferably with source code) and I'll add them to the list
    * Once I have enough plants and they've all grown up, I will calculate the percentage of the bred only variants

    So yeah, this is mainly for my own curiosity, but perhaps you guys would also like to know. In any case it could be interesting.

  • One thing to note about this - it will take considerably more than 50 to get a good sampling. So hopefully we'll get many people to help out with this particular experiment, so we'll have a large enough sampling to be statistically significant.

  • Would it be too complicated to add a few more bits of information, such as the color of the parents and whether the particular pairing has produced 'breed onlies" multiple times? ( I have at least one plant that has given me breed onlies every time, and I am curious if other players see the same with any of their plants, or if I just got lucky)

    Warning: My atrium is on SHROOM Overload! (^_^)

  • Sorry I'm so late with answers, I was sleeping.

    Mia - It's pragmatism, it's already 30th so you can expect the WMs pretty much any minute now. Which means any other plant would end up on hold because people will be wanting to get all the shrooms they can. And yes, it would be better to have larger sampling, my original thought was 100, but I wasn't sure how much participation I'm going to get or maybe it would take so long that people get bored before it's done. That's why I said at least 50. I'll be accepting WMs as long as I can though, until breeding is over.

    Shely - Thanks, and you're right, I am preparing for the event.

    Tawanda - it could be done, but it'll have to happen on a google doc or something, because otherwise my post above will get messy.

    Re colours of parents: I somehow remember it's been confirmed that the colours of parents don't affect the children.

  • Thanks guys!
    Shely, it's not the colour of the parents that I was asking about, it's if they've produced bred-onlys before. It's for Tawanda's query. I got interested myself because I noticed one of my pinks came from parents that have only bred-only children. I took it out because I realised that I can easily just check myself. I made an excel table to keep track on it.

    All of mine are bred from purples. 'Cuz it's my favorite color. :)

    When I look at their children, I see that most of the children they've already produced have been blues, reds, and other non-bred-only variants, but there have also been bred-only variants with a couple. Glancing it over it seems spread out pretty evenly among all the variants, so I don't think one set of parents is more likely to produce bred-only variants than another. It's not like Mendellian genetics here; it's virtual, so it's pure luck.

    Edit: Btw, LN, I plan to only breed these throughout the event. I have plenty of the other variants, but only one each of the pink and green. So you'll be getting my seed information throughout, at least. :)
