needrain said:In my limited experience, there are a lot more seeds in a diploid cross than there are in a tetraploid cross. The tets I've done have {maybe} averaged 5-6 seeds per pod. That's an average, mind you. The diploids do much better in the number of seeds.

I actually saw the opposite this year...although the number of diploid pods I had was far less than the tet pods. I had 5 pods that were Pandora's Box x Fancy Face and each had 4-5 seeds in them. On the other end, I have had 26 tet pods from various crosses with 10 or more seeds in them. I have three dip pods from a Stargate Portal x Fancy Face cross that I can't wait to open...I am really hoping that I get more than 5 seeds per pod on those
