50 seeds should be decent, especially if you're just looking for a stand out female. 100 would be better, beyond that if you can't find a stand out from that, I would look elsewhere unless it's very special to you.
Proper amount of seeds for pheno hunt? How much is too much?

i always select from 80 -100 regulars and 50 fems .........................i do them in trays with 24 rockwool cubes in ............ 4 seedlings per cube regulars (kill or remove the males)............or 2 seeds per cubde if there fems .................. i can easily have 2 of these small trays with over 50 females in each
i only do this for seed lines were im looking for specific traits ..........like searching for sweetness in a blueberry, sour , cookies ect !! .. after all ....what good is a bluebrry if it smells and tastes like haye ?
i dont grow like this when its a 'high specific' selection.............in that case they need more space and light to get good smoke samples to select mothers

Obviously the more the merrier, but I've had fun doing pheno hunts popping 10-12 seeds and flowering 6-7 females. I have to stay under my 12-plant limit but that's still enough to find and segregate the good plants from the also rans. I believe Nevil did his pheno hunts in batches of ~ 40 seeds.
