Exactly, the mtdna is responsible for the ATP, so the most vigorous female should always be the mother in a fem cross.
Would this apply only to the vigour trait?What about potency for example?
Mitochondrial DNA is the small circular chromosomefound inside mitochondria. The mitochondria are organelles found in cells that are the sites of energy production. The mitochondria, and thus mitochondrial DNA, are passed from mother to offspring.
No

Love the infos guys!
So , theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any issues with female breeding right?
Just today I read in the auto flower section that the male plays a big role in potency(it was claimed that rna is tied with potency and is passed by the male) so fem bred seeds are by default weaker...
I call bull, what do you think?
nah, personally I think you're stupid if you do NOT take advantage of female breeding.

You're out of context, Sid. Was talking RNA....
Some of you may not be aware, by feminizing, it strips valuable RNA in the plant and potency is part of the RNA code. While it's simpler (or lazier) given that autos show their sex 3-4 weeks into grows, regular seeds have all the rewards awaiting!

Yeah, bull
nah, personally I think you're stupid if you do NOT take advantage of female breeding. it solves some issues inherent to cannabis:
also that 'explanation' is pretty bull, you don't really pass on rna(well, some may be in the cytoplasm of the eggcell on fertlisation).
basically dna is the recipebook, then rna is the piece of paper you quickly scribble your ingredients on before you head to the supermarket. if you want to share your recipe, you give the book, not your shopping list.
there are some different forms of rna, and there are also virusses which do use rna as their 'recipebook', but generally if you're speaking about passing stuff on to the next generation, you're talking dna, not rna. then on top of that you can have epigenetics, which is regulation of dna(think of putting ducttape around the cookbook so no one can read it), but that stll goes back to dna, not rna.
now what you can do with rna is that you measure the rna to get an idea of what genes are actually being used in a certain tissue/situation(to continuee with the cookbook analogy since I'm doing that analogy now anyways: let's say you hang out at the supermarket, then steal everyone's shopping lists. then from those shopping lists you could deduce what kind of recipes people are cooking, and maybe you could see correlations in there like 'people here like baking, but with rainy weather they bake more apple pies, but when it's sunny they bake more cheesecakes).
