Ok so you breed a king to a corn, those babies are F1. When you breed an F1 to say a pure corn, those babies are still F2's right? Am I right that it doesnt matter what you breed an "F" to, the babies will be the next F number in line? This is probably a silly question but I wasnt sure if both parents had to be F1's to make F2's or if only one had to be.
Thanks!!

If you were to breed an F1 jungle to a corn or a king they won't be considered 2nd generation (F2). F1 Jungle X Corn or F1 Jungle X king can be labeled as just that. When you breed the siblings back to each other or to another 1st generation jungle then that will be considered an F2. (F2 X F2 = F3, F3 X F3 = F4...)
Lets assume u were to breed an F1 Jungle corn to an F1 Jurassic milk their offspring will be first generation as well.

man that is WAY too complicated, if you breed a jungle to a corn, it is still a hybrid! Grrr

Yes... if you bred a Jungle Corn back to a corn the offspring are still considered hybrids, the genetics are just slightly altered instead on 50/50 king and corn they'll be 75% corn 25% king. if bred back to a king... 1/4corn, 3/4king.
here's a lil pic i took just now, they are growing great, the male is being dificult, when ever i offer him a live "treat" he stops taking f/t for about 2-3 weeks.
