it would seam so but i feel further info is needed. I can tell you that I have seen both types in pot plants. I recently cut down some <------------------------------>(3") stems from an outdoor grow had 6 clones. All of them to my memory where totally full and not hollow. some of my eariler days years and years ago...I first grew indoors and they where mexican seeds and did notice most of them where hollow. And a few other strains like sativas can be hollow.

This is a pretty good thread, im guessing it has had a lot of on and off activity since it was started in 06 lol. But I'm going to be reading more through this and hopefully try to breed the Big Bud's im growing now with the Ice i'll be growing next round. Looking forward to giving it a try. Let me know if anyone has heard of this cross before.

Hello Graffiti.Welcome.On and off activity is prolly due to many inexperienced breeders getting a sense of the difference in pollen chucking and actual breeding.Lol,I can hardly get my own stuff to germinate.I'll prolly never do more than chuck pollen amongst my bagseed but this stuff is fascinating.
Hey Glass,I would dearly love to see a hollow Mexican.I've only grown a few hundred or so since the early 80's and never saw one.They were mostly round and all solid with only a pin hole.I've only gotten my first chance at hollow stems over this past couple of years with 3 Mandalla sativa strains.And the cuts from them are all solid.I assume that branches on hollow plants are always solid??Sorry bout this.My mind always seems to get stuck on the most mundane things and won't let go.
Peace
wow some dude who I have never seen before says that mexican bud seeds cant produce plants that can be hollow. Glad he pollen chuckin persona was here to tell me that.
Hey glasspackedbowl , one more question.
I am a bit consused
I have been looking up information and i read that the strains becomes more unstable and less vigor the more F's u make???
And i read somehwere it was best to cross the f2's i am gonna make back with the mother f1 plant i used.
But i thought that if u picked ur moms and dads right the strain becomes more stable with each F.
So what of this is right and what of this is wrong.
Thx 4 answering question, it can all get confusing in the beginning
So i have f1 seeds (only 20) and i want the strain(particular pheno) to survive without quality loss or vigor loss.

Ok they become more stable and less vigorous. I believe thats why its recommended that you use the f2's back to the mother, to get some vigor back.
Yes they should be more stable with each F generation.
yeah let me shed some light as when I had them it was the beginning of my growing trails and I was still using miracle grow. ewwwww Maybe MG + sativa = hollow stems. or maybe it just low light as I was only doing them indoors under few thousand lumen set-up.

how does one save the pollen off of a male and store it ?
OK while I have a minute,briefly.....Collect in a paper bag and use within a few weeks(preferably a few days)or put it in a sealing container and freeze if u wanna keep longer...But if u freeze leave in bag to dry for at least a few hrs in warmish place first and clean out any debris or plant matter b4 storing to reduce mould risk etc. If u wanna make the pollen go further dilute with flour up to 10/1(flour/pollen).
