Crossing two Satori?

Hey riu., We're trying to make some seeds this year. If we were to breed two Satori together would our offspring still be Satori? Would they qualify as F1 or will the resulting cross be heterozygous? Thanks.

Yea, that's what the literature told me, I just wanted to hear it "in person" :p What do you think my best course of action would be? I was thinking breeding two satori then over time I'd grow some offspring and pic a winner to back cross with the mother. Then I'd have to do that a few more times - Is this right? :???:

sorry i was off the boards all weekend, well it depends what you want to gain from breeding the 2 satori, making f2 is a good start because thats the start of an inbred line right there. back crossing to an f1 would be back crossing to a heterozygous plant so the progeny of you bc1 would still be pretty variable youd just increase the chance of finding a heterozygous plant very similar to the original satori p1 mom. look through the f2 and see if you find anything you like that would be my suggestion then cross it with a ful.l sibling and work forward, i dont know your breeding goals tho so i cant say 100% but if you let me know what your aiming to do im sure i could help with a little guidance :)

Breeding goals are potency and a decent yield. If a problem comes up like powdery mildew or mites then I'd logically choose those that were least affected. I'm limited on grow space and binded by a budget that is fed by my harvests. So, I'll grow out a few f2s over time and keep the mother plant as a bonsai so I have the option of back crossing an exceptional plant. Just had an idea, maybe take some fem pollen from my Satori mother and keep it. That way I don't have to keep the mother plant. Hmmm. :joint:

yields gunna be a tough one to hit with small numbers but finding a really potent f2 to back cross might be ppssible but like i said back crossing to an f1 isnt the best idea because you will never stabalize it, its heterozygous at most loci and as such has little value in breeding but a very potent f2 may breed true for that potency and that plant would be the mom to back cross to if any.
