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.
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.
so i would like to hear from either
1. people who have used feminised strains for breeding and what the results were.
2. people with a knowledge of genetics who can say categorically what the genetic results might be and if it's asking for trouble.
i dont really want this to be a general discussion about the merits of fem seeds because thats been had before.
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???
just to be clear im taking about crossing a plant grown from feminised seed with a regular male to make seeds.
thanks
