I want to offer you some advice: moving forward, while working with the F2, maintain two separate lines. Choose two mothers, pollinate them with different fathers, then work with them separately, avoiding accidental pollination. The duration of your work with them depends on your goals. You might simply reach the F3 stage, or perhaps you'll want to go further and even conduct a couple of backcrosses to solidify exactly what you like. This journey is yours.π
The key is, once you have two stable versions that you're happy with, cross them together, and you'll get an interlinear cross that will give you something akin to hybrid vigor. It's the best way to create your own strong strain and avoid inbred depression.π₯ππ½
