Rules?
Hi
Are crosses using a hybrid F1 x Heirloom a bad idea? are there too many variables? How about F1 x F1? Wild "throw the dice" Life |

Thanks for the replies!
With so many "parents" to choose from....... I imagine there is a closed mouth policy. That being said, how would a fellow go about finding previous attempted crosses? are successful hybrid maters(better boy ect) parentage avail to study? Wild "curious" Life |

Most companies selling F1 hybrids don't reveal the parentage. Commercial secrets!
