Let's say you have two strains you want to cross.

You have male & female of strain A and male & female of strain B.

If you crossed male A with female B,

how different would it be from male B crossed with female A.

I hope this makes sense to anyone lol.

p.s. I've never bred cannabis before, it's just something i've been curious about for a very long time :)

They use to say use the indica for the male and the sativa for the mother. Try it both ways and tell me what the difference is. I don't think it matters much and your hybrid will be 50/50 of both parents.

VERY diffent .. lets say for instance . "a" is dominate for large seed pods only thru the female allele .. a male cross with "a" would result in small seed pod structure ... and that is just one loci .

So there`s a lot of different factors to consider when making a cross, than just the flavor & high you want right?
