Why not breed with F1's?

[Bromeo]

I've read and been told that one shouldn't breed with pollen from a f1 male but never read or been told why. So why not? I mean if you have a male that shows traits that you really like and want to pass on then why not use it? Will its genetics be that unstable?

I have personally have destroyed some great looking male plants because I didn't know when I would have time to work them into f2s and storing pollen more then 3 months just is not possable for me. It always goes bad. Even though it hidden from prying eyes five kids in and out of a freezer for otter pops creates a pollen ice bomb in the containers.

How do you ever get to F2 without breeding a F1.

Non sense breed your own seeds dont worry about the Fs...who is to say what you have now is even an F1?

The only breeding you prolly shouldnt do is with herms, weak and sickly plants or fem beans. But then again, I guess you could use fems if its a do or die situation. I myself wouldnt recommend it tho. But then again, im nobody special

Fem or not it would get dusted if the smoke structure and everything fit in ...

I just drop the dust as it would in nature and then see what happens ...
In not experience but plants are plants ...
Depends on what smoke u like

You make good smoke swamp....

The only reason I say I wouldnt recommend breeding with fems is due to the fack that fems are made from selfing(I could be very wrong on these points) which is essentially a herm plant. Either chemically or stress induced, they to me, introduce an activated hermaphrodite gene into the gene pool you are breding with. Like I said, im nobody special and could be the furthest from the truth I could possibly be. Just my opinion

Everything you can think of has already been done. You have to do it again to learn for yourself.
