Auto flowering and seeds

If I seed a high quality auto flowering strain from the same batch of seed, will my seeds be just as good as the seeds it came from? Sorry I don’t know much about plant genetics.

??? i think i got the wrong end of the stick.

Would i be right in saying that the seeds obviously wont be as easy to germ as ones you buy online etc BUT once they are growing they will be almost the same as what you grew previously?

Apologies if im wrong

I'm no genetics expert, but here's what Chimera has to say in the breeding chapter of Cervante's "Bible".

An F1 hybrid population is obtained by crossing two unrelated, true breeding varieties. F1 hybrids are unique in that they are uniform when grown from seed, but, like all hybrids, are genetically unstable. If reproduced sexually by inbreeding within the F1 population, the subsequent generation will be neither uniform nor similar to the F1 generation.
