Well, that was the simple answer. Yes, you will get most that are a cross of those two, but you also have a good percentage of those seeds that will be closer to one of the parents or the other, or even grandparents or great grandparents. When you create new seeds like this, you unlock the entire tree of genetics that went into making both of the parents, and that first set of seeds is not stabilized on any one of them. Until that generation of new seeds is bred back to one of the parents or grandparents, a good 20-30% of the offspring are going to be something else, but over a few generations you can stabilize a set of seeds on a particular strain or characteristic. Making your own seeds like this can be very interesting sometimes... you never know exactly what you are going to get. This is why breeding against a landrace strain is so desirable... only one side of the family tree is able to be torn apart in that case and immediately the new line is more stable than most random pairings.
