Anyone know why? How do i find out what they are?
Why don't Seedbanks state the if the seeds are F1, F2, F3, F4 ect?

i would venture to say most are F1. Why would anyone want F2 seeds, doesn't that just mean the genetics will be more varied and less consistent?

i'm not positive, but i think f1 refers to the results of crossing 2 diff. hybrids. if it's an original/original, with no crossing, i don't think there's any f designation at all. but, like i said, not sure...

That's on the breeders, not the seed bank. Some breeders do though

With proper breeding you will get more consistent plants the further you get in the genetic line, I believe. Black Rose for example is pass F7 generation and supposedly all seeds male and female grow with pure purple traits.
Ive seen a few breeders state what generation seed you will get, like stow said that's on the breeder.

Yea and I can't give you an answer to why some do and some don't. Maybe they don't keep track? Maybe they don't think that's info the average grower cares about?

Thanks i just email the breeders/seedbanks to ask next time im shopping for beans!!! I think that we need some standards!!!

F1 is the first generation of a cross between any two unrelated seedlines in the creation of a hybrid. F1 hybrids can be uniform or variable depending on the P1 parent stock used.

How do you get a f7 ? Wouldn't that be a inbred line or seed ?

IBL or Seed? That ? dosen't make sense to me.. I know what it means but i have no idea what you mean. Lol

Yep, F1s are created from two original breeding parents. F2s and so on are pure lineage strands created by interbreeding of the same strand of cannabis. Interbreeding for too long can cause genes to break down though.

OK that's true but some ppl classify differently, there aren't standards they follow!

SMH i still waiting on RQS to email me a New Voucher Code so i can order my seeds. I'm gonna get some autos and a few more strains.

It is a standard in genetics and selective breeding, so they shouldn't be classified differently. It isn't just plants that are classified this way.
Mules for example are F1 hybrids of a horse and donkey.
