Wait! @corey has a seed logo?
Do we get a sneak peak?

Sure! @CADMAN designed it and @CornbreadJunior did some border work and printing. Damn fine job if you ask me. I couldnât be happier with it! Thanks again guys!!

Cool! thats a really cool logo @corey. I really enjoy the design aspect of seed packages, and a simple and effective logo works really well.

What is this nomenclature F2, F3 ? Has some topic here explaining about this part of breeding and generations ?
sorry for the ignorance⌠newbie in this area.

F2s are the product of breeding origial F1s from a breeder. Breed 2 F2s and you get F3s.

if a mix two different strains F2, from different breeders, its mine F1?

Yes if you cross 2 different F2s they will become f1s and a new mix created by you⌠@ReikoX has some great advice. I would search his threads

Not exactly. Itâs more complex than that. A true F1 (1st Filial generation) consists of genetics from two homozygous (â having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genesâ) parental cultivars (notated as P1). Most of the genetics released today are complex polyhybrids made from other complex polyhybrids. There is a good bit of work that needs to be done in order to stabilize a certain cultivar, in order to make it homozygous. Simply crossing one cultivar to another does not equate an F1, although it has become common practice to do so. Thereâs lots of great information & research that has been done with plant & cannabis breeding. I highly recommend Robert Clarkeâs book âMaijuana Botanyâ (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/560935886523596811/671923591797014548/Marijuana_Botany.pdf) .
Hereâs some charts and graphs that may help to explain some basic breeding practices.

awesome tip dude! thanks for sharingâŚ
i did my first contact with this theme in a topic create by @Tonygreen here in the forumâŚ
He shared a game created by uk gov to teach about multi trait inheritance while you breed fishes in aquarium⌠really instructive
already saved the link to read later. thanks again!

Double edged sword.
You can do right by the community by simply displaying provenance.
Generally speaking it is frowned upon to make F2 and sell them but, then again, you buy the seeds or theyâre given to you, theyâre yours and you can do whatever your like with them

Just a tip because from scanning through I dont think its been mentioned. Its important to a least label an make clear the generation of seeds as it does make a difference. But we also get alot of nonsense that causes confusionâŚfor example ive seen people labeled iblâs as f2 when its already been locked into a ibl. So try and make sure what your using and label correctly and also state open pollination or one-one parent. There are diffrences. The best f1s subtle balance of parents and hybrid vigor very rarely can be replicated in further generations so a f1 can be far superior to some people. F2s usually segregate and throw back into the parents make up so you will have to grow much much more plants to find something like those perfectly balanced ones in the f1. F3 depending on the parents can start to take the line into quite a different directions that the f1 was built to portray. At f4 you may have a totally different line to the original f1 or have something locked down to near ibl. So its quite important if your making seeds going out to the public to know your stock and label correctly. As for branding, if its your own work brand away I say.

Unless they were gifted to you with specific rules for using/recreating them, then you own them.
If someone paid for the genetics, or no limitations were set, then all rights to those specific seeds, and their progeny (F2-Fâ), are owned by you. This gives you the right to sell them, give them away, breed with them, or reproduce them as you see fit.
This is best covered by adding the parent genetics to the label. The specific name of the breeder/the company isnât required, but you should be able to provide the information if asked.
Since I maintain an online site where further information about a strain can be looked up, I often leave the parent genetics off the label, but supply it on the website.
^This will save you every time!! I canât stress this enough.
I refrain from renaming, and claiming, an IBL strain until Iâve taken it to at least F4. By F4 youâve put in enough breeding selection to make it yours. For an F1 multi-poly hybrid you get to name it because you created it.
Awesome logo!

That is really all I meant, I just said it badly (smile). Just throw a bone to the source parentage and let the user know. There can be a really big difference between the same strains cultivated by different breeders. you know? If a label or supporting text just says âI crossed a Haze with Hashplantâ or âMixed a classic OG with Gorilla Cookiesâ or something it just doesnât ring true. There are really wacky differences between those strains as bred by different shops. And like others have said - you HAVE to tell folks what generation they are getting! There are people chunking pollen, getting a healthy set of F1âs and then reselling them as âlegitâ. Anyone who has actually spent time breeding knows there can be danger in them hillsâŚ
