seed production help

[vinnythebat]

how do seeds get labeled?

ok so i got a ak male & female what do the seeds =
and then male & female from seeds = and so on

now i add another strain does that equal a hybrid?

if you have ak male and ak female then the offspring would naturally be ak. yes if you added another strain it would be a hybrid, but it wouldnt neccesarily be equaly part from each strain. that would need extra work picking out traits from both strains and mixing them to gain equal balance.

ok each generation is a f1 are the hybrid's first seeds also f1's?

 

[lowrdr]

if you breed an ak47 with a blueberry the resulting seeds will be ak x blue f1. breed them and the seeds will be ak x blue f2 and so on and so on

any loss in traits?

well that depends on what you do with the breeding parents. you pick the traits you want to keep. obviously to do this effectively you must know the plant you are growing inside out so as to keep the traits of 1 plant without the other etc.
