i know feminised seeds arent very popular amongst many growers, and i've heard that crossing a feminised plant with a male to make seeds is a bad idea....missing alleles etc....andytoker
but then ive also read that its ok as long as you've run the feminised plant a few times and its not hermi-prone....andytoker
so i would like to hear from either
1. people who have used feminised strains for breeding and what the results were....andytoker
2. people with a knowledge of genetics who can say categorically what the genetic results might be and if it's asking for trouble....andytoker
i dont really want this to be a general discussion about the merits of fem seeds because thats been had before....andytoker
my own situation is that i have a great Blueberry plant that was grown from a fem seed. ive ran it a few times now and no hermis. now with a strain that is prone to hermis like bb is a very stable fem plant worth using for crossing???...andytoker
just to be clear im taking about crossing a plant grown from feminised seed with a regular male to make seeds....andytoker
And please, for the love of the plant, if you are planning to breed, DO NOT used a feminized female. Remember, your most ideal case is that she is "XXX". Still a hermi, and the progeny from her crossed with a stable male will be "XXX" and "XXY". HERMI HERMI HERMI. Hermaphrodites are one step closer to our favorite plant turning to hemp. A self pollinating sea of low THC, low yeilding plants.

It should, however, also be stated, that dispensing misinformation is a separate issue.
Don't like using 'feminized seed' all you want, but also don't present specious rationalizations for your choices....C.X.

maybe it's just that I'm XY, but i'd hate to think we could be eliminated. Reminds me of several arguments with some angry lesbians..."males are unneeded mutants!"
Just call me "Captain Dunsil"
chem dog and the cindy 99 line by bros grimm was all started by seeds found in pot that was only growing female plants. so the are hermie seeds. alot of people have used and breed a bag seed the found just like the plants i mention above. Hermies is a natural state in cannabis. So to say any plant made by a hermie is bad. witch is how female seeds are made. then we would not have some of the dankest plants around. the hermie trait is not always dominate gene in ever offspring.

I truly believe the introduction of feminised plants into breeding will seriously raise hermaphodite tendancies, as well as reduce overall quality in every way.
