If you have a tomato that tastes great at F1, F2 and F3, what do you do when F4 just doesn't cut the mustard. Do you save the seeds anyway and keep going, or do you go back to F3 and sow a million of those?

To me, it would depend on how great that tomato tastes. I'd first start with making sure I have plenty of extra seed (to share), which possibly means going back to the F1, to save more F2s.



And it also means, if one has the room and/or the gardening friends, to plant many F2s, more F3s, and try many of the F4s, again.
