S2 Seeds From S1 GG4..Is It Worth It??

[Only The Best]

i have 2 wonderfull plants(different phenos) that i want to make some seeds from.
The plants are from S1 seeds of the original cut gg4 without hermi trait(i believe so )
well,as the title says..is it worth it??

sure, go for it if you like the phenos you have and they didn't show herm tendency. I believe a s1 will show segregation like a f2 and tom hill said that selfing down the line will speed up inbreeding depression. S2 should be ok, you may get some interesting plants...btw I havent done this so take what I say with grain of salt.

thanks for the answer highsteppa..

anyone else has some opinion??

Yes!!! You made the seeds? So yeah grow them, enjoy them, and learn from them.

The only thing I would say is be observant. Wasn’t GG4 the result of a hermie cross? The trait may be lurking even if it doesn’t show in the GG4 or its progeny being used as parent(s).

I would definitely make some S2 and see what you get. Every selfing is reducing heterozygousity by 50% on average, so you are moving towards pure breeding plants. I would also cross one S1 pheno with your other pheno as that could yield some interesting offspring.

Good luck
