Difference between a grex and a hybrid swarm

I personnally call the first year of assembling, so the first harvest, so the first seeds I harvest, a “first year grex”

I get your idea.
Anyway: grex’ stage is before you’ve applied a personnal strong selection pressure, so if seeds go from far far away in a really different climate I’d say yes, but if they go in good amounts from a place nearby or similar to yours I would say you start directly in selection stage. That’s those 2 first years I want help skipping, or at least partially, for market gardeners, notably those around me who will never ever go for creating a landrace if they have to do all the preliminar work.
