True. One fruit from one plant grown indoors over winter was the source of the F2 seeds of my all my PL hearts.
It’s hard to grow indoors In winter successfully. Concentrating your efforts on one or two of your healthiest plants may be better than trying to spread your limited light resources among more. All you need from this F1 grow out is at most maybe 50-100 F2 seeds to plant in spring , not a crop of tomatoes.
Happy for you that your cross was successful
