Ok so I am tired of buying seeds. I have two stanky strains(Jager & Chocolate Thai). I don't like the extremely long flowering time of Chocolate Thai but love the smoke and effects. I want to breed them together. My question is,...Which way would be better,....A Chocolate Thai female with a Jager male or a Jager male with a Chocolate Thai female? I would assume that should use a Chocolate Thai female bred with a Jager male to improve the Chocolate Thai. My stoner ass was pondering this last night. What say you?
 
I think you need to smoke another one and think about all this 😄 Hi Bear!

There's an ancient Greek proverb describing such things on papyrus scrolls discovered on the island of Capri in the late 1800s.
The text read "pheno hunt" when later translated by scholars 😋

Why don’t you clone a few and do both ways to find out.

^I agree with both of these^
I did a bunch of reading looking into to Punnett's square and Mendelian genetics there does not appear to be particular dominat and recessive traits passed from male or female.
It is more like you really have to do a pheno hunt after you cross to get F1 and go farther down the hole from there.
While certain traits will be dominant or recessive which ones from each parent are not clear from what I found until you grade your results from the cross. Also due to variances in phenos I would not only cross a pair both ways[ male of X to female of Y and vice versa ] but then choose several of the crosses to continue further then F1.
Often lost traits/recessive genes or characteristics will re surface when crosses are bred to each other in effort to solidify/ lock in results.

Ok so if I make an F1 and find a killer pheno, how would I stabilize that in seed form? Just keep back crossing it to a mother?

Everytime I've tried that the bx2 and 3 has been weak and never as good as the mother. BX1 usually still has lots of vigor. If you have enough space to make f2 you get more variety to choose from, you can make the select f2 mother and hit it with the already frozen f1 pollen.
lots of fun.
 
You could breed it back to either mother or father. Pick the trait you favor.
You could also breed f1 to f1 and see what is hiding/ recessive.
I found with fish , dogs and cats that there are three legs in lineage.
Mother , father and one of their parents. You never really know and if you don't the " grand parent' you would not recognize the trait.
Knowing where you started it is easier to recognize repeatable traits.
