Planning on creating my first own strain.

If i were to pollinate a feminized plant with regular male pollen what percentage of the resulting seeds would produce female plants approximately?

All seeds would be regular. The seeds from any given plant depends on pollen doner not pollen receiver

~50% of each M/F

And its more like 70/30 female/male ps just depends on strain and also environment pss sorry im outta likes

Ive read that the odds of hermaphrodite progeny increases if you breed with feminized seeds.

Not sure if thats a myth or a fact. In any case, welcome to OG. :sunglasses:

I heard that too it’s not totally true though depends what your S1 is if it’s sexually stable then it should be fine I mean if you think of all the clone onlys out there that probably originate as an S1 folk will happily breed with those yet they question using a stable S1 idk seems silly to me bud

for regular seeds its someting lik 55 female 45 male but 50/50 is close enough.
In nature one male will pollinated many females so there is no reason to produce a true 50/50 ratio.

I have read many thing that speak to hermaphrodite progeny increasing with feminized seeds. I have always tried to avoid fems for breeding for that reason. But it was always hearsay and not bassed off of experimentation.

Focus on finding a good male that don’t produce pistils from this line. Bringing back a clean dioecy is not made in one shot but in multiple generations, so establishing averages. Focus on herm rate more, fems are an improper material to breed. You can ask to any functional breeder of any scale, you will get the same answer ^^

In term of sexuality, i read bullshits since grow books are existing. With fancy invented rules on rates : the 50/50 etc … it’s red flag for me as fuck ^^ Genotypes don’t produce each time the same rate, you have lines in majority filled by males (über rares today), others by females, others that can be balanced … with herm rate as final judge ^^

On an example of a known line producing a majority of males that you cross with a lines more balanced, you can expect that in the more “feminine” line the male’s numbers will increase. Specially if the “male line” is used as donor. Now to know exactly what is the scale of this improvement, you have to know already both lines and their initial rates.

It’s a voice in the desert but : don’t breed with fems. Just smoke them, it’s the only purpose of such seeds.

I’m curious so would you use clones to breed with? Like clone only strains cos there all pretty much fems and folk breed with those the only problem with s1s is when you S1 something the recessive traits will become dominant in the progeny so if the herm traits in there then yes don’t use it but if it’s not then why wouldn’t you use it

This was the thought when feminized seeds were made through stress. Most fem seeds now are made from chemically induced methods instead.

In theory it be 50/50 op but in reality not so much leaving herms out of the equation it depends on what the line is some are more skewed to the female side then adding the herms into the equation be it male or female ones then that changes it even more so it’s not a question that’s easy to really give a hard and fast awnser to 100% and be totally accurate best way I guess is to pop what you got and see what yer working with and go from there bud

Yeah stress or rodelization now it’s all made with sts or cs or nano silver or I’ve even heard folk using silver nitrate

Correct, environment plays a big part in this for instance cloder temps more females and warmer temps more males

The ratio of male to female is also very strain specific and not always even near 1:1. I read a research paper on this a while ago. I’ll see if I can find it.
