If the parents are stable, true-breeding plants (lots of homozygous genes) the F1 generation should all be the same. So you wouldnt need to plant very many F1 plants. You are right, StupidJerk, the F2 is where you would start to see the traits start to segregate.
But with the number of plants he is using and the methods he is planning on, probably planting the more the better would increase chances of getting something that was actually crossed.
good luck!
