I am crossing a few of the varieties I have growing just for fun, but wondering about a couple of things. What I'm wanting to do is cross a few of the heirlooms I have with a Patio Princess hybrid. My goal is to make patio size crosses so I can grow them in my indoor grow tent.
So,
Question #1
Which donor would be the dominant trait? The pollen donor or the stigma/ovary donor? If it even works that way..
Question #2
I have seeds from a Patio Princess plant that I bought from the nursery. Since Patio Princess is a hybrid those seeds would be F2 correct?
Question #3
If I grow those F2 seeds and cross them with a different F2 or F1 that would create another F1? I saw in another thread that F1+F1(other)=F1 but F1+F1(same)=F2 (basically self-pollination).
Using those terms, my question would be: F2+F2(other)= F1
? | F2+F1=F1
? What if its Patio Princess F2 + Patio Princess F1?
I hope that makes sense.. LOL
I'm sure I'm wasting my time doing this, but it wouldn't be much of a learning experience if I just went out and bought some seeds now would it..?
So if you were going to comment anything of the sort you can save it
Any other tips, tricks and suggestions are welcome! THANKS
