Crossing A Feminized Female With True Male Pollen ?

Greets everyone... I have a question for the breeders. I made some feminized NL seeds buy using a female clone taken from the mother of a regular NL that ended up being female and used that hormone spray on it to develop a branch on her with male flowers and let it self pollinate itself. Now I recently popped a regular non-fem " Headband " bean and it ended up being male. So I am planning on collecting the pollen from this HB male to use hopefully on one of my other regular HB beans that hopefully end up female in the future. But since I have the feminized NL growing I was wondering what the outcome would be if I hit the feminized NL with the true male pollen from the HB... Would this put the male genetics back into the crosses offspring? I am assuming since it will be crossed with a true male that some of the offspring may end up being male instead of all feminized after the cross? .. Thanks in advance for any info :)

I see , one final question you may be able to shed some light on.. I have a single seed that was a freebie from " Samsara Seeds " the strain is ( Supersonic Cristal Storm ) and comes only as a autoflower. Buy crossing it with the Headband pollen change the autoflowering properties of the strain ? In fact is there a way to breed out the autoflowering of a strain to make it a regular non-auto / no-fem strain ? Sorry for all the questions just trying to wrap my head around this whole breeding , crossing , back-crossing thing ;) Thanks :)

Why would u want to first? Second....I think u need to google what a fem seed is.

I would rather play it safe and just collect the pollen in a bag and just put a male on a female,Last thing,you want is all your hard work to be to no avail,and end up with seed;'s that turn hermie on you,far leass chance of this happening with 100% male/female crossing .

But that is a answer of someone ,that is not a fan of feminized seed's i do use them but not very often this year is prob the first year i have done a feminized grow in about 12 month and that is because i do auto's out doors every year.

But it's prob,the first indoor feminized grow i have done indoors in well over 6 year,i think the cannabis world has gone feminized seed's crazy,take greenhouses seeds they have some of the nicest strains around,just wish they would release them in regular form.

The dude that came up with feminizing,what i think was first done with cucumbers has a lot to answer too.

hope this helps tyke

I sated why..and I know what a fem seed is .. The reason as stated was because its the only form the strain comes in is an auto. Its a good strain and I would like to have it as a regular seed stock ;)

Once you cross anything with a self flowering plant (Ruderalis) it will still be self flowering with traits from the parent, like berry smell or higher THC, it is a great way to up the THC of self flowering plants but even with multiple pollination with regular marijuana over several decades now has not changed the self flowering part of it.
