Hi Farmer John, I am no too educated when it comes to F3 and its meaning.
Could you give me a little schoolin? Does that bsically tell you its third generation?

F1 x F1 = F2
F2 x F2 = F3

I wasn't looking to go to college. LOL
I couldn't have asked for a better answer.

Could you tell me what differences I may see from an F1 to an F3? Doesn't it become more challenging to find the pheno type you want? Or does it become stable? I don't really know, did some reading but I get confused.

It would become more challenging to find a pheno other than what was selected for in the parents of the f2s and of the f3s... Selection will narrow the field somewhat, as far as phenotypical variation... certainly as far as genotypical variation... This could be a good thing or a bad thing depending of the parents selected at each step... Farmer John's selections should be real nice...

That is my best bet at getting C99.

Farmer John, how do you distribute your beans? Same method as Grat3fulh3ad?
