Basic guidelines for seed increases are for ‘out of production’ cultivars. That is, cultivars not currently for sale by the originator or after receiving a thumbs-up from them. This differs from crosses or worked lines, land race stock, etc. On occasion, questions or concerns pop-up late in the process since it’s not always clear what’s active, what’s a worked line, etc. For something that is current and active or, if not certain, please reach out to TeamOG to discuss before hand.
Not everything can be distilled in a black and white manner. There is a desire, though, to balance between being respectful to the originator/breeder when running seed increases.
