Auto's Only: P1 (Male*) x P2 (Female) F1-F4

[Cultivated Cultivars]

Why is a P1*(male) of a particular strain used, instead of a male from P2*(Female) strain's? Vice versa?
Example: P1*(Auto Bubba Cheese) x P2* (Auto Purple) =
P1*(Auto Purple) x P2* (Auto Bubba Cheese) =

If your are doing the right type of selective breeding both strains will turn our similar, But what I'm seeing all over the instudry especially with the newer companies is them taking 1 chosen male and pollinating 10 females and hoping for the best. No much F3-F5 breeding going on except for autos because it takes at least to F3 to get photo to auto. Auto x auto f1 will be completely different but if you continue to cross the same phenos either way they should turn out close to each other

Thanks that helps. What about using a feminized plant (Selected Pheno) to pollinate another feminized plant (Selected Pheno)?

Don't understand the question

Don't understand the question

Would feminizing a feminized plant to pollinate another feminized plant, make pheno selection easier since no males to go thru?
