I have over 30 strains ive collected... Id like to make some f2"s soo i dont have to carry that many alive strains.. Are the f"2s really 25% less of a yeild then the f"1? I dont see any other way unless i stress the plant out and get some hermie seeds..

I would also look into STS or colloidal silver to reverse the plants I love and make S-1's.

no not at all. if that were true f2s would go for cheap and most breeders would hide the fact that they are f2s. if the breeder is worth their salt the f2s should actually be a better representation of what the cross was supposed to bring to the table.

i would follow either jim or sky's suggestions and youll be golden!

Agree completely. To go a little further, while a small variation in phenos are found in f1 crosses, a massive variation can be found in the f2 crosses. This means that while you might pop some pretty sub-par seeds, you have the same chance of finding a gem. Don't worry about the f2, just make a hunt out of it.

ill save you the headache now and advise you not to get the LEDs. youre much better off using T5s. flowering under LEDs doesnt produce dense fat nuggets like an HPS will. the closest ive seen was a very high wattage LED that cost well over 1k.

You can't make f2s without having a brother of the same strain to pollinate said lady....you can make plenty of f1s though homie! And f2s of a strain can unlock plenty of treasures, you'll have alot of dominate and recessive trait combinations pop up to hunt thru!
