As many as I have room for and it depends what I’m looking for. For example in a RL PL cross I grow perhaps 100 seeds, cull right away to the approx 25% potato leaf I am looking for and grow the best and strongest 15 of those perhaps. Depends on your goals in a planned cross.
My Multiflora I am working on I grew out about 150 seeds, culled to just dwarf and regular potato leaf seedlings about 40 in total this year.
More the better is the bottom line F2 is an odds game imo more you grow the more likely you’ll find something good basically
