Left with 11 DC x PR at 5ish nodes, there seems to be one confirmed female so far with a nice hybrid structure.

Nice to have you drop by, i bring chips and dips on a Wednesday jus'so you know.


Found a skinny girl with what looks to be a stubby little afghan bract at a node. will try to nab a macro when i take some pics, im betting a female..there is a distinct split in maturation at this point, we cant expect the little Ghani ones to be typical of they're visual heritage and flower quick or same for the leggy girls, there may be a long skinny 8 weeker in them thar plants..

Nice! So what makes a good male plant? you mentioned droopy balls but to me that just means he's got more pollen.

Terpene profile. Stinky males are the ones I think. It depends really . I'm going for s1 with this line, im gonna eat the males. If you want to be on point, the only way to tell a good male is by the kids. All other things matter not really because from a practical point of view, u use a male not to criteria but his kids are great. Or like wise nice male but shit kids. Progeny evaluation is how to pick a male.

Using females to make seed is a quicker way to make a line in a closet. Plus if we are working with hybrids x hybrids then picking a male based on some traits is pointless unless it breeds true. Selfing a hybrid will make a batch of seed equivalent to 4 generations of traditional sibling x sibling line breeding.

So, based on all the above I'd use pollen from all the males mixed before applying to the girls, that way you lose no good traits that will be missed later. 1:1 male female breeding is like starting to build a puzzle with pieces missing, no matter what pieces are missing in each box you can never complete it. But if you throw all the puzzle pieces from all the boxes you will take longer to be finished puzzlin' but when your done you will have a few completed puzzles that are the shit and a few more that are just shit.

I have four girls to look at: A big narrowleaf, a scraggly panama/congo lookalike, and two intermediate expressions one more branchy. the rest are more intermediate and not sexed.

Im hoping the big girl is a good one for sog so going to test it with some clones.

I put down 20 more seeds from punta rosa aka Panama x punta Roja f2, and 10 inbred punta roja straight from cannabiogen.com. I juiced 3 more betty males, at this point I have four nice girls sitting at the top 10% of the 40 seed selection. They are all vigorous bar one who looks like Panama, all slow and scraggly, im thinking based on the time some are taking to show sex that these may be the longer flowering girls?

 

[Illuminate]

I had 96% on the deep congo and bx, so 9 bx and 18 deep congo ibl.

 

[Illuminate]

So I had some grief and ended up with one congo bx girl, and two betty f1, 2 Panama x punta roja f2 and a destroyer from fem seed. I made seeds from the cheese x orient express, one of which popped up random and it's very squat and broadleaf expression.
