Actually it is just an F1 if you want to get technical.

I just call them what they are and say Feminized Hybrid.

S1 and R1 are both feminized seeds. I like to know if it is a "selfed" or a "reversed pollination" seed. Many don't even recognize the difference between the two.

And if we want to get technical, we will find that there is no technical to it. It is a wide open thing that has different nomenclature in different venues of horticulture.
It is always best to give detailed descriptions of parentage in our world.

If it's wide open then there is no right or wrong way, so you can call them R1 and I'll call them F1.

When I make a Feminized Hybrid it's an F1, it is what it is reguardless if you use males or not.

In the context of what Hrpuffnkush was saying, I think my response was basically correct. He referred to the seeds being S1 or a selfed 1st filial generation. What he described was not a selfing, but rather a feminizing. And in his situation if S1 is correct for a 1st filial generation selfing, then R1 would be correct for a 1st filial generation feminizing.(or Reversal)
That nomenclature sure does distinguish how the generation was brought about and provides us with more useful information, but sure the first filial generation is typically referred to as an F1.

And for the simple reason that we in our hobby have special designators some like to use, other areas of horticulture with different plants also employ specified nomenclature and names.

You can sure have last word on this if that is what you are after, but I fail to see why you are standing on this technicality? Do you think that it is somehow better to use a less descriptive system?

emagine an [SK x NLreversed],,,<<<that is an R1,,,,,i sometimes call it a "Fem-Outcross",,,but most people involved in "female breeding" would call it an R1

SK selfpolinated is an S1,,,

i simply agree with baba ku,,,

"Don't get technical with me you overwieght slob of grease!" :) haha, I have been waiting to say that for a long time. I just had to get it off my chest whether it pertains to the discussion or not. T2U has been trying for years to bring the RKS back for all of us to share. Let the man do his work. We're all friends here.
 
The search continues. This week I got gifted 5 cuts from a very old afghan, held by a friend, who's dad was in the peace corps, before the soviet union invaded afghanistan. Even as tiny as they are, they reek of nasty skunk spray. I'll update in a few weeks.

Thats great that you corrected Hrpuffnkush, so why did you try to correct me for saying F1 when that is what it is? You just said it yourself when you said the first filial generation is an F1.

When I take a strain and cross it with another strain I just made the first filial generation. There's nowhere in the F1 definition that says unless you don't use a male. If you need to know if males are used or not then you should be able to tell by what strains were used in the cross.

If i say I made some OG x Bubba people obviously know there are no Bubba males so it it is a Feminized Hybrid. For the jokesters that try to make clone only seedlines then it's their responsibility to put IBL behind it.

You must want the last word since you keep talking about it. Wasn't it good enough for you when I said cool you call it want you want and I'll call it what I want? Or are you the end all of MJ terminology?

What the fuck is with you people?
There seems to be one big fucking attitude problem around here these days.

if you have an RKS mom...take 20 cuttings...10 would be used to to self pollinate by light stress to produce all fem stock..this way we at least preserve the plant. the other 10 cuttings can be used to experiment with different dads until you find something worth exploring...make a journal and let me know if I can help!!

Why do you want to cross your RKS mom to something else? You might be better off just making S1's and searching through those for an even more pronounced RKS mom.
 
has anyone tried u.v light on cured herb to cause skunkyness? it happens in hops..its closets cousin...http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2001/10/011018071707.htm maybe the lack of skunk is a result of varieties being grown indoors under lights with little or no uv...imo this is also related to the grapefruit mercaptan odor that is present in some herb..garlic also..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiol smelled hops stored in the freezer in the dark that oxidized and ended up very cheesy..which would be unusable in beer but maybe desirable in herb...
