How do you think the seed banks get uniformity of the desired traits in their strains? By inbreeding. You inbreed successive generations of the same strain, each time breeding only the female that displays the desired traits. After a few generations the strain becomes stable, meaning each successive planting produces plants that are relatively uniform. Once the strain is "stabilized" you breed it with another strain, usually something far removed genetically, thereby producing a "Hybrid". Almost all the seedbanks use these type of breeding techniques to produce the strains they offer for sale.
