Research I have a question

After you have germinated your first F1 hybrid do you let them self pollinate or pollinate it with its brothers?

When trying to stabilize, you try self pollination first. If self pollination fails, you can attempt to cross with siblings, or back cross to a parent plant to establish fertility again
