Is a (mendo breath f2 x grateful breath f2)
I was thinking the same thing but figured they had f2's..
Personally, I believe technically it would be an F1. However, I've had people in recent years claim that isn't true. I really don't understand what they are thinking and what defines a "parent generation" to develop an F1 from the cross. As far as I know/believe, the results from any direct cross of two unrelated genetics would result in an F1 offspring.
F1 for sure, 2 strains bred together make an F1 generation.
To be a true f1 means both parents originated far away from each other/ are untelated to ensure maximum hybrid vigour ie a true f1 most of these poly chucks are called f1 but they sure as hell dont have the vigour like a real one though
Id call it kush its just a bx1 by seed technically even tho its same seedstock cos its f2 x f4F1 for sure, 2 strains bred together make an F1 generation.
Riddle me this: What would you call - Kush F2 x Kush F4 (same lineage)
you would have to check by going all the way up the family tree.. usually you will find relatives not far up.. it's one reason you hear and see people trying to do preservation grows and open pollinations on some strains that are still somewhat not poly-ed up and why many people are starting to gravitate to heirlooms and land races when they want some vigor
they (mendo breath and grateful breath) share a parent..
cannabis breeding is not this black and white

a true BX would be F2 (3, 4, 5, 6, etc) crossed to one of the original parents, not original parent strain but original parent plants
Yeah you see a lot of that tossed around loosely. Also IBL's and IX's.
The true F1 you refer to, I assume. are two strains that breed true. If we only called 2 true breeding strains F1’s then we would have 20? f1 strains maybe? Even strains that are stable and produce very similar pheno’s run after run may not breed true.you would have to check by going all the way up the family tree.. usually you will find relatives not far up.. it's one reason you hear and see people trying to do preservation grows and open pollinations on some strains that are still somewhat not poly-ed up and why many people are starting to gravitate to heirlooms and land races when they want some vigor

you can't make a true F1 with combining two poly's or two hybrids for the most part.. I'm not going to call myself an expert or a breeder but I have my goals..
A true F1 is made with two genetically stable and unrelated plants (all the way up the family tree). typically the entire point is to bring something to the table the other doesn't have and is stable in the plant with it so it passes onto the progeny. most people just think an F1 is any new strain created from crossing two strains but that would be the lazy mans understanding of it (no offense to anyone).. a random x is just a hybrid or poly-hybrid most of the time nowadays. true f1's typically come stable due to both parents being stable lines (ibl in some cases).. this is why breeders often have to take them to F2 to "open up" the gene pool when they are searching for specific traits for a line.. but I mean, who works lines anymore? so.. yea..
when you find a true F1 and experience real hybrid vigor it's astonishing..
polyhybrid's are much less stable and predictable, as the "F1" does not have stable genetics usually. Polyhybrids are great for experimentation, as the genetic diversity is broad and they can exhibit unexpected and desirable traits.
F1 Polyhybrid?
that’s like jumbo shrimp
lol but everyone can call them what they like, I was just mentioning ‘technically’ they wouldn’t be true f1’s, they’re gen-z f1’s
By your definition there are only less than 20 true F1’s, so basically every breeder is calling it wrong.that’s like jumbo shrimp
What do you mean by “breed true?”
