New Grower Mi5 seeds!?

[mancini2]

Hi all.
I'm a noobie grower with a question.
Doing my first seed run (MI5 regular seeds, all germinated, got 3 males 7 females)
Gonna leave em to pollinate naturally. They are about 7-10 days away from polinating themselves. My question is this . . .

When these plants produce seeds and i want to grow those seeds is it best if let them just polinate themselves naturally like their parents did or should i quickly kill off the 2nd generation males and use pollen from the original parent male to pollinate what are in effect his daughters?
Am i entering f1 and f2 theory with this question?
Be curious to hear any answers from more experienced growers.

Thank you.

You are starting with all Mi5. Thus you are not at F1 or F2 but rather whatever generation they are now at. You are taking an inbred line and further inbreeding. In such, all individuals are almost the same and it will make little difference if you breed fathers to daughters or brothers to sisters.

Yeh, you're right.
Got hold of stitch. He told me that the regular seeds i got from his short stuff line (mi5) are f5 and the seeds from f5 will become f6 but there i should not continue seeded generations from the f6 seeds as they'll become weaker f7s n f8s etc.

Don't know much at the mo but i'm learning fast.

Thanks again.

PEACE.
