I've seen some do it for fun. No one I know does it to pick there males. Its def not commonly used endeavor.
I agree.

You talk a lot about things Hempy, but you don't necessarily learn.I spent lots of time talking breeding and cannabis with Nevil Raho what was the point of this post apart from trying to insult and belittle me ?.
If you dont know the basics like what a male contributes or dose in the way of keeping a line heathy then i suggest you go research it .
you need to re read what sam posted ,What i find funny is the same people that preach selfing also preach open pollination with lots of males .
Many people think that those are either/or approaches to breeding and that you either like one or the other. But I see no contradiction between those positions Hempy.What i find funny is the same people that preach selfing also preach open pollination with lots of males .

I ran into that post while looking for info from Nev to help another member on the reversed males thing.
Thought it was one of his better posts that people would benefit from seeing, and it amused me that he felt the same about sharing info about breeding with some people that I do about sharing it with you.
Nevil has multiple posts contradicting your ideas about males in his posts over at your old home.
Why don't you post over there anymore Hempy?
you need to re read what sam posted ,
he as raho said was breeding with a specific goal in mind ,
which he reached ,
while the intense inbreeding caused by selfing several times was not viable commercially as u would like
the problem was fixed as he mentioned in his post by hybridizing at the last step
the final product was viable and the goal had been reached ,
what your doing is picking out one part of the journey ,
and not looking at the end ,
by selfing the goal was reached easier than it would have been any other way ,
yes there were problems as a result , they were fixed ,
the post clearly says that ...
its more a lack of comprehension on your part , misinterpreting the post to try and make it serve your bias of selfing as a breeding tool ... it in fact doesnt do that hempy if u read it fully and understand what is written ....

By S4 the plants are seriously screwed up and many are functionally sterile, also poor yields, no pest and disease resistance. We made many S3 or S4 seeds for selecting parents for our single Cannabinoid breeding work but we did have the ability to restore the Vigor and delete or mask the recessive negative traits with a method used for other crops. Any single Cannabinoid say for THCV, we used 4 landrace unrelated lines, in the case of THCV, Afghan, Thai, S African Durban, and Calif Orange that all had about 1% THCV. After selfing each line separately and selecting the progeney plants with the highest THCV values which by S3 or S4 yielded plants that were 5%-7% THCV but all inbred and all but useless except for the target Cannabinoid, we combined the best of each of the 4 lines and restored the full F1 vigor found in F1 hybrids. A bit of work but it did work very well. As long as the 4 combined lines are unrelated. We ended up with a great THCV mother clone with closer to 15% THCV with little other Cannabinoids, and high yielding with great pest and disease resistance, and vigor.
All Cannabis is Heterozygous and will deteriorate as a Homozygous plant with lots of problems expressed. By selfing S4 or more you get closer to Homozygous and all the recessive problems are expressed.

dont ignore this part at the end ,
come on its not a large paragraph ,
sams goal was what your saying is a fault ,
he successfully made a high thcv variety ,
who said anything about anyone growing it or it being released for commercial use/production , it was an experiment ,,
this is the end which you are overlooking because it doesnt fit in with your bias ..

you miss the point totally by not taking in the whole paragraph and cherry picking parts that may back up your arguement on selfing being bad ,
its not bad , its a useful breeding tool and can be very successful for fixing traits in a limited amount of generations ,
problems can be fixed as sam mentions...
Raho really what do you base this conclusion on ?
Nevil posted a lot of breeding information Raho but again most people ignored most of it like were Nevil says not to inbreed haze or haze hybrids as an example.
People also ignore Sam's advice on inbreeding haze most seam to think they know better.
I have read Nevil posts Raho and he dose not contradict my views at all good try.
Raho i left Mr nice because of trolls but you know this as many of them are your friends.Why don't you go post at Mrnice and stay out of my thread Raho ?.
I am still waiting on your answer on what a male dose apart from the 50% of the geans it contributes to the line.
So no one knows what a male contributes apart from the 50% of geans to a matting ?.
Many already know how good the end results can be with inbreeding. Discouraging its use It keeps others from figuring that out.
I prefer to read books and not anecdotal posts on a forum.
This might help you understand.

What has inbreeding have to do with selfing cannabis Hammerhead ?.
I see no point having a discussion with questions like that. You would def benefit from reading a few books. Selfing is a extreme degree of inbreeding. Its obvious your very confused on this subject.
HH how am i confused i read and research a lot but when i put a very simple question to you n the others on what dose a male contribute you cant answer so who here needs to do some reading ?.
You don't like what Sam posted about selfing i get it.
