Polination from my regular seeds is correct way to get seeds from same specie?

@MadScientist

P1 = Parent 1, P2 = Parent 2.

P1 x P2 = F1.

Not quite true as we need to compare result to original parent that breeder used.

@Pjhunt78

That would not make F1 seeds. That would be interbreeding poly hybrids wich gives you tons of genetic variation. To make an f1 you need unrelated parents. Recreating that strain from those seeds would take tons of work. Or incredible luck.

Exactly… Technically speaking you are crossing

F1 x F1 = F2

so the result is F2 which has way higher variation (unless you are already working with “true breeding” (IBL) strains as @Subcool suggests, but that is highly unlikely).

@hempmex you can read a lot about it in GrowFAQ, for example:

Why are F2 seeds less expensive?

Contributed by: Crazydevs Why does one strain cost less from one seed breeder than it does from another? Let’s start off by saying that in terms of seed prices, you normally pay for the strain genetics, but this is not always the case, some seed makers (breeders) will always try to charge more on a strain, simply because they seek a larger profit margin than some of their competitors. Also, some breeders have to pay premiums to the original, big name strain breeders, to be able to use the orig…
