Is Sweet Tooth #3 a true breeding strain or what kind of variation would be expected from f2's?

[Herbasaurus]

Anyone?

I would say that some variation would show in those beans, even more in f2's. Peace GS

Depends on the parents, but Sweet Tooth is a very true breeding strain compared to most. It's already been backcrossed a few times to the mom so it's not an F1. Thus the F2's will not have too much diversion from the originals, maybe even better.

Swt#3 is not an F1 as offered by seed vendors. I am ASSUMING you picked up some Swt#3 f2 that were offered on the bay recently...

This being said, they are more than likely 1 generation from the breeders seed line, so titled F2...

My point being, these are not TRUE F2's but rather an Ix (incross). This means they are probably quiet true breeding.

Smart seed line to have in the stable..you surely won't be disappointed.

Then it would not be #3 it would just be an IBL, that #3 number of the strain represents the number of backcrosses to the SPG. The Swt #3 was the fourth generation of the Swt line. The #3 was backcrossed a few times to the SPG mother clone after the first SPG x BB F1 cross which eventually made it that number.

The Swt #4 is very close to being an IBL as it came from an inbred Swt Bx2 line of Steves' (same as father of Swt #3) he used for hash making and was earlier flowering than the rest plus resisted mold outside.

Check out Phillthy's padded room thread to see some Sweet Tooth #4 plants that are pretty damn uniform and they have been incrossed themselves from SOL originals so they are technically Swt #4 Incrossed X 1 = so just about an IBL now because it normally takes 5 or 6 generations to be considered an IBL and they are now 6th generation seeds, Phillthy's will be 7th generation and having been incrossed twice.
