hi there i was wondering if anyone would care to explain to me what the term f1/f2 or s1/s2 means or relates to when looking at buying seeds. thank u for anyone who educates me on this subject
no, s1 means selfed 1 or selfed 2, and is used for fem plants.. say you have a clone only that you want to make fem seeds from, you do what you do to make the plant hermie, and you self pollinate that plant with itself, giving you s1 seeds..A F1 is a cross between 2 original cultivar. Ex: a female Thai (pure) cross to a male Afghani(pure). Now you have a brand new strain (F1) let’s call it Bingo, A F2 of Bingo (your new strain) is obtain by crossing a female Bingo(F1) to a male Bingo(F1). I have seen different company using P1-P2 or S1-S2 to my knowledge it’s just the same meaning as F1-F2.
I get it & it's perfectly logic. Ever eared of P1-P2? i find those in DJ short seeds description of is own seeds breeding program in an old cannabis culture magazineno, s1 means selfed 1 or selfed 2, and is used for fem plants.. say you have a clone only that you want to make fem seeds from, you do what you do to make the plant hermie, and you self pollinate that plant with itself, giving you s1 seeds..
good info on the f1's thoughh, and fyi, f stands for fillial..
so would a s2 be the result of the crossing of two s1's from the same plants cloneno, s1 means selfed 1 or selfed 2, and is used for fem plants.. say you have a clone only that you want to make fem seeds from, you do what you do to make the plant hermie, and you self pollinate that plant with itself, giving you s1 seeds..
