Question Breeding advice wanted...would this be possible?
Ok guys, heres what Im after - a plant with the buds/flavour/high of "Paradise Rox" but with the much larger yield of "Paradise Ice Cream"

If I were to try and breed some seeds for them - which would be better? Male Rox with Female Ice Cream? or the other way round?

...or would it probably not make much difference?

I'd like to hear some opinions!

(Before I get slated - I'm gonna go look at the grow FAQ now!)

im not an expert at mary j breeding, but i know genetics very well. it shouldnt make a difference, unless one of those traits are sex linked genes (which i doubt they are, but who knows), make sure to that you dont just take one baby, they may not get both the goods, but one good and the other not. test a few of the offspring and the one u like best clone

Just grow out a pack of regular seeds of each, select the nicest male&female from each, inbreed those, then plant all the seeds produced.. Now from the thousands of each strain, just select a few dozen to a few hundred of each based on vigor and node spacing both males and females, label, and clone them all..
[Ok, you don't 'necessarily' need that many, but the larger your selection/results pool, the better you can deduce the genotypes, and the better your chances of finding a special rare pheno that could be stabilized..]
Now decide which traits are important to you, and as your breeding program sets off, keep DETAILED records of the which crosses produced good results for each trait.. You'll want to read up on Mendel and Punnet squares, backcrossing/cubing, and inbreeding depression to be able to look at your results and make logical decisions for obtaining, and locking in the traits you desire..
To make a long story short.. Making viable seeds that will give you quality, but unpredictable results are easy to make.. Creating a 'strain' is a whole different ball game.. Choices regarding your game plan are as important as choices regarding selection.. Trying to lock in too many traits is bound to screw up any stability, but locking in traits is the whole point of breeding.. The trick is to find a happy medium regarding your game plan between super-chronic and stability..

Edit: I haven't come across any info regarding gender specific traits either..
