I've been told not to use a first year plant as the pod parent.   Setting and 
maturing a pod is reported to be bad on the health of such a  plant and can 
cause it to fail.  
 
On the other hand, I read that some hybridizers make most of their  crosses 
on their own seedlings.  Most of these seedlings are 1st year  plants??
 
Anyone have thoughts on this?
