Seeding feminized plants?

Post by ripper5 »

I have regular F1 Nirvana Bubblicious​ males and I want to seed some feminized F1 Amnesia Haze and F1 Hindu Kush plants.
Is there any reason why this would be a bad idea or waste of time? :confused:

its never a waste of time crossing stuff

and only by this way you will achieve improvement, but the road is steep and full of draw backs, especially if you think of recessive attributse that like to skip a generation or two .. meaning that when you cross something mediocre you can get a stellar result in the end, and by only just by this means its never a waste of time .. you live n learn a often you score with the genetics floating around today ... compared to some decades ago, where every other year a fresh gen injection was needed to keep the line alive ... tho the results where "outstanding" as well negative ones as the good ones lol

So out of five seeds two were boys. Used both of them for pollen since this is so small scale.

hope you used em on different branches and gave the branches an appropriate tagging for the future, for the case if one result might be better than the other :)

You will have a higher rate of occurrence of hermies in the seeds (due to the "feminization" of a parent), but it would still likely be worthwhile.:)

Thanks Butcher Bob that was indeed my concern. Fems are only good in the short term, in this instance, for time saving. Whareas long term they suck. Mom's that might hermie?
The feminized plants (one Amnesia, two Hindus) were pollenated with just the one male, while the non crossed bubble was hit with both males.

Yeah, if you were doing lineage breeding (several generations) then usually you want to eliminate any hermi traits. But if you're just curious aboot the combination, the hermi trait will be less significant...you'll just have to weed out a few more hermies than normal.
