I know backcrossing does not truly stabalize a strain. What should I expect from using a Bx3 male on some girls?
Bx3 as a male.

why would you backcross 3x?
2x is enough to get close enough to the original while at the same time keeping stable genetics.
the next question, is the females your trying to breed with the same strain Bx3 or something else? or a bx again?

No, I hit an OG female with a Chem D bx3 male.

oh so you bred chem D bx3 with som females? so you got some F1 seeds, labeld like this9mother first) OGxChemD(Bx3) F1
what to expect? a pretty good seed with a good mix of 50/50 genes usually leaning towards the pollen donator a little more. because of the breeding you are essentially causing a genetic recombination, which is a good thing revives the health of DNA.
Chromosomal crossover refers to recombination between the paired chromosomes inherited from each of one's parents, generally occurring during meiosis. During prophase I the four available chromatids are in tight formation with one another. While in this formation, homologous sites on two chromatids can mesh with one another, and may exchange genetic information.[SUP][1]
basically when you breed you get an F1 with fresh genetics with whats referred to as the "hybrid vigor"

Thats what I was wondering. I've read a few times that Backcrossing will not result in a truly stable strain. But this male so far best suits what I have been searching for. I was not sure if it would be considered a true F1 or just another backcross. Thanks!

well Bxing is okay, actually its not a bad way to make strains. unstable? no, not till you exceed a Bx2. a Bx3 is unstable, but gives you the highest chance of getting a plant closest to the original. if you want to BX again you would have to breed you bx3 male with the original chemd strain, or breed it with another Bx3 chemD but then you might start seeing problems.
