Are MNS seeds F1's or F2's?
ThanksF1 per my understanding, unless labeled IBL (in bred line)
Since that's exactly a question I've been asking myself these days, I've researched a little and will add my two cents... In my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, F1 are created when two different plants and/or varieties are crossed with each other. The resulting result is F1. As an example: Sativa x Indica = Satica©. And further: Satica©_m x Satica©_w = F2. That's how I understood it up until then. Since we would like to have something constant from e.g. MNS, I rather suspect that we can buy S1; Since the Satica© has been found good, you do the following: A Satica©_w is treated anyway so that it becomes a Satica©_m. Then the two are allowed to play together and the resulting children are S1. It then "only" contains Satica©. But all this without guarantee.
A true F1 is the first generation cross of two distinct varietyThis would be a great place for Shantibaba to talk about F1s and F2 as it can be confusing
