Pollinating a female from pollen taken from that same plant

If I took a genetic female, took some clones, forced one of the clones to turn male and then pollinated the female with this pollen, would the seeds yield plants that are genetically identical?

Short answer, no.
long answer, study genetics. There are plenty of available links on this site, you could also just google medelian inheritance.
That's why I asked here...figured someone would have the answer. Tried googling but did have not much luck. Knowing nothing about genetics I guess I don't know the correct terminology to search for. If the answer is no, then that's all I needed. Thanks.

So are tou adding nothing to this form as far as applied knowledge goes? Your just hoping for help from another websites link and you dont know? Cool. Good luck.
Dude...this discussion was not about *how* to make feminized seeds. My question was simply if pollen from a genetic female pollinated said female, would the yielding seeds be genetic identicals. A simple yes or no is all I was looking for.

So they would be close to identical if the plant you made self pollinate was a stable inbred line.

For instance, if you somehow had a female plant from the hindu kush mountains in the 60's that had a very small genetic pool for hundreds of years, you may get close to phenotypes expressing very little variability. From my understanding at least.

If you take some random clone and breed her with herself, there could be a wide range of phenotypes that could appear in her offspring. I could be wrong though, im no geneticist

This thread will get no where.

Hot I'd say go for it and see for yourself of the variations of selfing. you could even get close to damn near your clone. how many seeds you'd have to pop, well thats a whole different ball game.

All of them, then take the least herming sets of offspring. Sell em on the net, easy millionair.

Alien chill out, the guy had a question I dont see the need for trolling. contribute with a reply or keep it pushing.

Hey! So I had the same question and 6 years later I can say that it depends on the parent you’re selfing (reversing and then pollinating a clone of the same cut that was reversed). I’m attempting this right now, and since I’m doing this on a F1 hybrid of two IBLs, I expect a lot of genetic variation in the female progeny. It’s essentially an F2, but I’m not a geneticist. Sorry to bump an old thread, I just found you through the main Bodhi thread and wanted to see more of your grow pics, OP.
