I saved seeds from 3 of the Sungold F2s.

#1 - Currant size, gold/orange, intense, sweet (tasted like super concentrated SG)

#2 - Cherry size, red, taste like SG but not quite as intense.

#3 - Cherry size, orange, taste like SG but not quite as intense.

I have room for 10 plants. I'm going for a red cherry with the flavor of #1. Which F3 seeds should I plant? I can live without it being red or big, as long as it has the intense flavor of #3.

I'm guessing my best bet is planting seeds from #3 because it has more sweetness genes? I'm also guessing that although I have a better chance of getting the flavor I'm looking for with #3 seeds, there's no guarantee I'll see that same flavor in any of the F3s.
