can you create a new strain using feminized seeds?

What I mean is that if I have 1 feminized autoflower strain and 1 photo fem strain, can I cross them through the use of colloidal silver to create a new strain?
I know that feminized seeds will be produced, but from what I heard they won't have the male chromosome, so I don't know if that would work to create a new strain.

Yes, the offspring of that cross would be f1 hybrids. It wouldn't be a stabilized strain yet, but it seems like a lot of f1 crosses are being called strains now.

Creating a strain is easy
Building up a relationship with customers ...not so much

It seems you need a bullhorn LOL
Good luck

Short answer yes. Long answer it takes a long time and a lot of pheno sorting and recrossing.

Then pheno hunting and recrossing.

Rinse and repeat.

It can take years to get a solid stable stain.

Yeah, it's just that I just can't get regulars of the strains I want.

Yea thats always tough.

Ultimately your the one having to grow them so why not try? If you were trying to sell these seeds straight away I would be saying something completely different. But your the only one the seeds will effect until you have stabilized the crosses.

Ive only seen one seed company (bighead seeds i think) selling it and it looked questionable cos the guy who found the original alien tech swears blind it was dead and he didnt share it so supposedly only hybrids of it exist hopefully im wrong but thats what i gather from all i read/heard mate so did u you get the seeds from that company or?

I'd stay away from using an autoflower as a parent. I think you'd be better off to gor out the regular, take a few clones from that, then reverse one and pollinate one of the others.
