You’ll be missing the entire male half of the plants genome.

Besides the ability to reproduce…what exactly does the male bring that the female dosen’t have …???
added question marks so its a known question…

open it up discuss it… what…
we choose bud structure… but we choose it to be like the female we want…
we pick up on terps… yeah we want them (on the female) so we pick a female that has the terps we want…
we like big ol phat buds… hell we pick the bitch thats the meanest biggest in the grow now shes your male,

we mate em for power for the juice… power heifer x power heifer…

what does the male bring that the female dosen’t possess???

Where did all these bad-ass female plants come from? At some point, somebody bred a male and female, and got a bad ass plant. Then maybe they did that a few more times, and produced the meanest bitch in the grow.

IMO, breeding fems, you take a hit on hybrid vigor, and I don’t trust them not to hermie. You’ve got to mutate the genetics to get them to self-pollinate, and you can’t avoid passing that mutation into the seeds you made.

A lot of breeders sell feminized seeds, but I doubt they get them from breeding two fems. They get them by traditional breeding methods. Cross-breeding males and females, making selections, and back-crossing until they get the plant they want, then they reverse it, and start selling seeds.

I just don’t see how you could have a legitimate breeding program using only fems. Of course, I could be full of shit too. :smiley:

fuck I mean closet growing…and still the question is still being asked…
what does the male bring to the table that the female doesn’t posses

Well ,that is totally up to what you are looking to achieve with a cross.
Now days, there are more cannabis cultivars or strains that sand in the desert,so it’s easy to get your ideal plant by just popping seeds, but back in the day the only way to do a hybrid was working two different plants ,in example Indica and Sativa ,to get the best of both, or an equilibrium, there’s no Faster way to shorter the flora of a sativa unless you crossed it with an indica (if that is the aim of your breeding program)and keep working that until you set your standards.

Now with the fem. procedures is quite easy to just chuck everything by itself and see if something matches what you want to accomplish. but still, a genetic recombination still in place,so you are developing a serious breeding project you will have to keep crossing and BX until you eventually get it .just as in a regular cross.

The question what a male can bring?,well if you have your ideal plan that doesn’t need a bit of work, the answer is easy, nothing.

You don’t even have to bother doing fem seeds, just take some cuts and job done.
But to fully develop a line ,working with males is a need.

On the other hand the question I find more accurate is “how do I know what male shall I use?” Unfortunately there is not easy way either , we have been focused on a female selection for so long that we haven’t done much research about males.

The way I see just tell me the opposite, most of only fem seeds catalogue seeds banks creates their lines but just crossing two females , and most of the time is using a top known cut crossed with another top known cut, so the result must be Top notch Fire…
Yeah sounds lame, but it is what happens

Males bring nothing to cropped female plants. You can breed without males if your goal is to crop females. The Y chromosome isn’t in the plants you crop, therefore it doesn’t contribute to their phenotype. Non-mendelian organelle inheritance is through the mother cell line, not the male. You can make hybrids with female only lines the same as regular seed. It’s about your breeding scheme, not if you are using reversed females vs true males. You can make uniformly non-intersexed plants as female lines in the same way you can (or cannot) do so in regular sexed seed. Feminization procedures do not mutate the genetic code in an heritable way; they just alter the expression of the genes already present. The professional breeding program I work in uses exclusively female lines with recurrent phenotypic selection.
