Collect seeds F1 (hybrids, F – скорочення латинського Filii – діти, but 1 generation number) does not make sense: new generation plants, "Hybrid hybrids", with a high probability may not inherit the dominant traits of the parents. F1 seeds must be purchased annually.
But even when dealing with hybrids, and with varieties, there is a risk of growing from "his seed" it is unclear what. This is especially true of cross-pollinated crops.

It is allowed to wait a couple of days after germination of the first seed and then calculate the germination.
