That's what I assumed, especially since they stated that they had decided on focusing primarily on the two strains, Banana OG and one they developed on their own. From that I believe they meant the R&D was to come up with the most popular from the strains they tested, and it may also include favorable inherent properties like rate of growth and or the size of the flowers proportionate to the rest of the plant. Either way, very exciting news. Once they get back to fully reporting status they should be cruising along nicely!
