White Fire is a famous cross. Fire Og female x (reversed female) The White. Would it be the same if the other way around? It would be a great test. Natural males are an unknown factor (crap shoot) since they don't grow buds.
One way to test this is to take 2 stable but non related varieties (A and B). Take 2 clones off one female plant from one variety (A) and 2 clones off of another female from the other variety (B). Take 1 clone from each variety and reverse them onto the other variety (A-reversed x B, B-reversed x A). This way we will find out of there is some natural process that is different when DNA is donated via pollen or in the calyx.
It makes absolutely no difference which parent in a cross is male and which is female. The genetic potential of the offspring is the same either way. The only practical difference is the resultant seed size may vary depending on which parent is the female, and this is due to the size of the calyx on the female.
The phenotypes seen in the offspring from any cross or pollination are the result of the dominant alleles inherited from each parent.
Hope this helps.
I've done the double reverse and there was no difference in the offspring phenotypes as expected. The one difference was that seed size from the cross was different due to the maternal parents having considerably different sized calyx.
you can cross two female or cross two males by transforming one to the opposite sex, a transformed female clone to male will express pollen but it is still genetically a female, the same with males they can be transformed to female to make seeds.
Transforming males to a female will also allowing smoking of the male transformed to female expression or lab testing of the cannabinoids and terpenes they can contribute to progeny.
Regardless if the female is Haze or Skunk the f1 hybrids express the same general terpene and Cannabinoids, I have made hundreds and tested them.
There may be sex linked traits but this has not been proven in Cannabis.
Intersexed plants can be male or female. Males that are intersex can make seeds on themselves or on nearby plants.
One last point is plants do not just turn intersex because they have not been pollinated, they are born with the intersex traits, be they XY intersex or intersex traits that require stress of some sort to express the intersex. Both are inherited from intersex parents.
People confuse dominate and recessive genes with what a plant recieves from the parents, but do a prunett square with two palnts that have dominate and recessive genes for the same gene and you will see progeny have a crap shoot on what they receive. Depending on what the parents have Ww X Rr for example in the case of White and Red.
Plant genetics like Cannabis can be confusing as Cannabis is a dioecious obligate outcrosser and is a bit special. (90% of all flowering plants on earth have both sex, the remaining 10 percent have unisexual male and female flowers on the same plant (monoecious species) or male and female flowers on separate plants (dioecious species) they are the minority. Cannabis is one of the minority it is dioecious.

If some one has a better place to see genetic make up please let me know ?
I usually just google the strain and read through most/all of the links that come up on the first page to build a general idea, Seed breeders/sellers sites are a great help for seed strains and honestly leafly has seemed decent for strain lookups.
I posted #805 before i saw your edit to unblock where you wrote seed finder in #804.
I follow you dankwolf, i just found it comical seed finder is one of the most common sites to come up when searching google for strain info and you said google sucks and proceed to post seed finder screenshots...
Also Google learns you with its firmware hence way you and me may have the formentioned site in are top Google searches . yet others may not . software/anilitics are a funny maching of sorts.
I just want people to be able to access the best info they can ...
My wife is a software tech lol
Leaf Aphids infestation .bad!
What u guys use. ? Its really bad
Unless you have search and site suggestions turned off under privacy settings in your browser...like myself.
You and me both man lol.
No intent on arguing here over who is right or wrong:
Kind of ignorant to assume i have no understanding of software programming...and then to mention that your wife is a software tech as a means to discredit my contribution further.
I learn alot from and appreciate your contributions normally Dankwolf, but you seem intent on undermining me right now.
