@MandyJane , I know you already know and understand most of this, if not all of it, but I'm explaining for all the readers who might be able to use some of this Best Practice stuff in their own gardens.
Nomenclature of Cannabis, Cannabis naming conventions vary between cannabis breeders but heres how we do it for large breeding projects with multiple growers.
This format is entirely different from our journals,
Marking pots and seed packets, How To Mark incoming seeds and for ID marking for our own seed banks,,,
If we dont follow these naming conventions confusion can and will occur , maybe not for you, but when you hand them to the other breeder, seeds, plants, clones.
Incoming Seeds; we'll use your seeds as an example, seed packets
Seed Packets
Start with Breeder and or Manufacture;
Breeder Seeds - What you have! seed will be an natural seed. And will be named at the top - "Lino"
Manufactured seeds - seeds built in a lab, You dont have Manufactured seeds. The embryo are encased in chemicals to form a genetically manufactured seed and not to be confused with Greenhouse Seed Co. seed Coats. If you ever find both Breeder and Manufactured seeds in you seed bank the convention is as follows "bLino" or "mLino".
Date of propagation - Incoming Seed Packets, not your own breeding projects and journal.
In the case of the seeds you have you are well aware of genetics in the finished product of both parents and several generation prior. This is a luxury, You know the breeder of this IIS mother ( 2 generation), I have breed the father, Tahoe, for 2 generation. And your seeds are "2016".
Pedigree, WHo your Daddy?
In this case again, you have well documented IIS mother X Tahoe Dad. I'd Highly recommend using "IISxTah".
Generations - F1 F2 F3
To keep this simple I'll just explain F1. A cross of 2 different strains will be labled "F1". That what you have.
'
SO on your "seed packets" if you have any beans left the label would be
Lino2016IISxTahF1

Okay label pots and clones.
In many cases you could start with a Cultivar name, CV, name like Mandy, but with breeding and especially with multiple breeders in project where plants/clones are handed to breeders you want your plant pot tags as follows.
each plant can have a letter are number , BUT I reccomend a NUMBER. 2 reasons , the first reason numbers help each grower and breeders with plant counts.
the the plant tag would be
IISxTah1
Next line, I always forget but DATES are important.
12/5
And I know your well taught keen eyes that have most likely sexed the plants so on the plant marker: M or F
And Dont Forget to mark your clones. You have Mothers so when a breeder takes a clone from one of your clones he knows he has a C2 clone. If any disease, or other issues happen good and bad we can identify the source and breed or recall all pathogens and inferior genetics. This is monumental in helping in the identification of Hermy Dominate and Rec traits from our gene lines or incoming gene lines
So you tags are as follows
ISSxTah #1, ISSxTah #2, ISSxTah #3 and so forth
Pot tag:
ISSxTah #1
F1
12/5
F or M
C1 or nothing...
