I know it is something to do with breeding, but I don't quite yet grasp what is meant when I see some of those writing about this. What does this mean?

My flowering girl has a few seeds forming in the flowering bud that I sparkled her with. I can even see in some of them some "tiger-stripes" and black dots forming on her greying forming seed. A couple have even split at top and really letting the viewing visible of the seeds within. Wow! Nice to see. Which generation do I have then? F1 or F2??

How long do I let them split? Should I mess with them to take the seed out ever? Or will it split and fall off eventually each one-by-one as they become ripe? Should I be careful to prevent this from happening? When is right for seed gathering if I want the bud to continue to bud?
 
if they are different strains i believe is what f-1 is then if you take a son and daughter thats f-2 and so on but i dont know how long to wait
