feminized and non feminized plants bred

alman666 · Saturday at 4:50 PM

I am having a difficult time finding answers to this question, there probably is an answer, but AI and general searches turn up key words more than what im looking for specifically.

so im talking about genetics. and feminized non feminized. for breeding purposes.

long story short. someone used a feminized plant, and hit it with regular male pollen. how does this effect the ensuing seeds that come from this? given the mother plant is feminized. will there be higher rates of hermies? will there be a lot lower rate of males? is the genetic pool too tarnished to work with?

i cant seem to find any info on this topic. mother plant was a feminized seed, father plant came from regular seeds.
what are the seeds going to contain then after this given they werent both regular seed plants.

You just bred cannabis.
There are more informed people than I, and they can correct me, but you just bred a male and a female plant. There should be little impact from the feminization of the seed that led to the mother.

They should be regs now. The feminized seeds are called this because they are made from female pollen, but if you then pollenate these females with fully male pollen you mix it right back up to 50/50ish. The genetics will determine herms and such

Growers do this all the time. No one can predict wether the F1 progeny will have a high number of hermaphrodites. You just have to test a few dozen seeds. As you continue with your breeding project, select the plants that are hardy/stable and take them to F2, F3, etc. Make sure to thoroughly stress test the plants you breed with.

What plants did you cross?

I wouldn't expect more hermies unless the parent plant already had those tendencies. We just crossed 7 different feminized strains with a regular male. From those seeds we made 16 plants. So far we have yet to see a single seed.

it was a strawberry cough feminized female with a grapefruit male, i was just wondering how that would go down to the end seedform on the next plants. ive never had feminized anything in my mixes for breeding ive ALWAYS used regular seeds to breed from, i just thought that since you have to reverse it to get the feminized you arent getting the full gene pool youd be getting more progeny that are replicants of that plant per say than you would get variation

I dont think thats true. Its hard to know what genes are dominant/recessive without growing a few dozen plants of each strain. The only way to know whats what is to grow out a few dozen F1 plants.
If your trying to unlock more genetic variation, select and cross the uncommon F1 plants. By the time you get to F3 there will be a lot of variation to choose from.

If your trying to create hardy stable plants, select the most vigorous plants that have mostly dominant phenotypes. You can identify what is dominant and recessive by the frequency of a trait within that generation F1, F2, etc.

They would be regs but consider that most of the clone onlys today are found in bagseeds of good weed so probably are s1s and people breed with those every day it isn't an issue if it's stable and doesn't breed bad recessive stuff like herms or ovules etc if it does then it isn't exactly good for the overall genepool breeding with it you need to know your parents and how they perform in crosses by testing them and growing out there progeny it's the only real way to do it
