Any thoughts on F1?

https://dutch-passion.com/en/blog/what-are-f1-f2-s1-cannabis-seeds-n1057 F1 = baby of parents. IBL to F5 your line becomes a strain of it's own. 1 seed F1 (regular seed) = 50/50 M/F. Is it worth your time and harvest?

F1 is a general label. It doesn't tell you anything about the selection process that was used. Did they search through 10 plants? 100? 1000? F1 tells nothing of these details. It is "Mendellian genetics" vocabulary. You can look this up on the wiki for it and it is described properly. IT is simply 2 independent family lies crossed. F1 will have more vigor than the parents. If they parents were trash, that doesn't mean much, though. It is a comparative benefit, not an absolute quality benefit. Genetic diversity is generally a good thing. It's funny, F1 are supposed to be less consistent, but i find they are more consistent. I think a big portion of the deviation of typical plants is more about the inbreeding. An outcropping species do not tolerate excessive inbreeding well. I grew some sweet seed f1 Green Poison (or whateer the fuck stupid name it had like most of these seeds) and all four plants looked the same, smoked the same, tasted the same and yielded like champs. I rarely see that from more severely inbred plants. Honestly, do 12 year olds come up with these strain names? Bwahah. It feels so unsophisticated. Anyway, read the wiki on mendellian genetics and avoid the bro-science info.

Ich habe bis jetzt nur gute Erfahrungen mit F1 Pflanzen gemacht. Meine Letzte die ich gepflanzt habe war eine Godfeather OG F1 Automatic von Zamnesia. Diese war nach nur 65 Tage ernte reif und hatte ein Ertrag von 71 gramm trockene schöne dicke und kompakte Blüten, der Geschmack war top und die Wirkung sehr gut. Also alles in allem sind F1 nicht schlecht. Werde bald wieder mal eine F1 Sorte Pflanzen.

They will be just fine........they would not sell you something that does not have the potential to perform. If it did not have "F1" stamped on the packet, would you even worry?

double commenting just to add...some F1s have demonstrably improved characteristics from their parents.. this is usually just a byproduct of the parents being worked into a genetic corner like S5s might be a real PITA to work with, prone to issues, but have a crazy terp profile isolated; if you had another deep S iteration on the other side, well your first F is gonna come out eerily similar to the parents and reintroduce the vigor the old S's had way back when generations ago. this would be the pinnacle of what modern F1 hybrids are attempting to do, but I seriously doubt 9/10 of these vendors are truly working with S4+ isolated cuts on each side. Even if they were, that is a lot of selfing. Introducing anything into the genetic equation at that point would likely help

A handful of seedbanks seem to just be onto the terminology, and subsequently have been pushing these amazing "F1 Hybrid" lines, as if they were new. In reality, most of what you see are F1s (albeit hunted clones). You really only have F, S, and Bx lines (arguably overlaps in boundary value cases). Iterating on an F line past F3/F4 is an involved process. Don't fall for the hype on it. They're simply your run-of-the-mill F1s. Unless you're breeding at a commercial scale, there is likely nothing you will ever notice or need to know other than they're F1s and hybrids. I mean seriously, in a world where X's RuntZ is nothing like Y's RuntZ then even an X RuntZ x Y RuntZ wouldn't be a Bx but arguably an F1.
