    Crossing two unrelated regular lines often produces offspring that grow faster and bigger than either parent, which breeders call heterosis or hybrid vigour. The effect is strongest in the first generation and tends to fade as you inbreed a line further. Some explanation of why this happens, and which pairings tend to show it most, can be read at https://breederregularseeds.com without needing a genetics background. It is one of the more practical reasons to keep a couple of unrelated lines going at the same time.
