seed selection AHHH!


Choosing seed is killing me.  Do i plant proven (planted ) or cutting edge??  So
I am trying to figure this all out.  Most top growers plant proven and let some
else plant the untested.  I try and understand if this is because it works best
or is it because of human nature.  Is it because we hate the unknown? Too
risky??   Is tested seed any less of a risk???? But the problem is that all
proven seed was at one time untested.  Now what does proven mean to us
growers..... that some one grew a big one from it.  Then the seed is ok and other
experienced growers plant it.  So a good seed is one that pops a couple of good
ones and maybe an 8 then about 6 @700+ thats a great seed right.  Is it the seed
or is it that the most experienced growers are planting from it.??  Could a
nobody seed with good back ground planted by the most experience do the same??
Sure it could?  Most of the greatest seeds today are from seed lines where
someone stuck with their good cross even though it wasn't flashy only to bring it
to the stardom.
Is there really proven seeds??  If a 150 good growers only pop 10 above 700+ from
a  "proven seed " is this good?? Better ??  Help me folks my head is spinning.
