Hey,
Just a few quick questions
Whats the deal with the majority of seeds that we're buying from seedbanks. I think I've seen it posted around that they're mostly F1's? Unless they state what it is, is there any way to know or find out?
So, if I get a pack of regular seeds (that happen to be F1's) and use one of the males to pollinate one of the females, I will be making F2's? And F2's are a lot more genetically viarible...ie it's more of a crap shoot with what you'll get?
But, if I take a male of Strain A and a female of Strain B and cross them, then the resulting seeds will be F1's and will be more stable and uniform (25% like M, 25% like F, 50% Mix?)?
Sorry if its all pretty basic stuff. I did do a bit of light reading but a lot of it just went over my head. I'll keep at it, but any help for the meantime will be much appreciated. Im keen to do a little pollen chucking...actual breeding is clearly out of my league haha
Thanks
