Over the years, I have heard different numbers thrown out as to how many of a seed lot you should start. Some have said growing out ten or so will be a good representation of a cross. I tend to start more than that. Just wondered what experiences you guys have had with numbers of seed started and if you think you have gotten good representation of that cross's potential. And if you have a number you start, how you came to the number or if it has changed for you overtime. Thoughts on the subject are very much appreciated.
