Making my own strain

I received a Pineapple Train Wreck seed from a friend so I grew it- what a beautiful plant! Until this weekend when, out in my backyard garden, I noticed baby balls forming all over the plant. Damn....

My other three plants (all showing female characteristics) are a Sativa-dom Jock Horror, a basic Sativa (strain unknown) and a basic Indica which came from an indoor strain that has done well when I grow it outdoors. You can follow that progress on the thread listed at the bottom of my comments.

Here is the question- should I try to pollinate one of the ladies with the PTW and, if so, which one? I am not familiar with PTW and if it is indica or sativa dom (I was going to research at some point during the growth cycle but too lazy to do it now). I was looking forward to a new strain to add to my "collection" and thought maybe I could produce a seed stock for future grows.

Or am I better off just chopping the plant and adding it to my compost pile?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Well I'd personally kill it, but since it is out doors, stray pollen is always a factor. If it's showing both sexes, it is intersexed, and will either give you all fem beans or more likely hermi genes in the new beans if you pollinate the other plants.

yes use the force luke polination is a great thing im shure your ladies have been wanting some male attention give it to them
LOL- it took me a few moments to figure out how to use the Force Luke Pollination method!

hit'em all with some pollen, then grow some from each batch...and boom you got your own cross to play with.
I should of thought of that option from the get go! Nothing to lose...

Speaking of which, any suggestions on how to pollinate just part of the plant? I don't want/need all the buds to be seedy (I'm seedy enough if you catch my drift), just one or two to give me seeds for the future.

the first post in this thread will give you an idea of what to do...https://www.rollitup.org/t/whodat-back-at-it.597139/

is your male in a pot or in the ground?

Since today has become a lazy day (and I haven't even had anything to smoke...yet) I did some research on Pineapple Train Wreck. Being a sativa-dom it would have made a nice addition to my mainly sativa grow. I also checked out whodat's thread but am open to other pointers on how to pollinate just part of each of my ladies, making sure they get some real "male attention"
