have 3 males i kept two are very similar to an extent in build and smell one is skunky and has small sharp leaves and very tight nodes . this one in paticular started flowering when i started to taper my lights down from 24/0 at around 16/8 for a week it started heavy preflower and a few sack look to be at the bust point
none of my females have flipped yet been on 12/12 a week or so
is this plant worth breeding with ?
it was not my first choice just from the smell and looks of it . but the early flower is kinda turning me on a bit :D
what you guys & gals think ?

what strain?
is it f1, f2, f3? thats a toughey personally i never like to use males that blowfast because i feel like itll pass that down to all males and nothings worse than finding a male that opened sacks vefore u could catch him in a sensi room. but the breeder in me would definitely like to see a side by side run of the progeny (females specifically) to see if this trait is passed down

a full auto male kc45 was the father and a positronics purple haze #1 was the mom
its F1 its not hard to tell the difference in the males i pretty much had them culled before preflower then was uncertain around preflower for a bit
but i was only wrong with 2 of the females that were acting male
i like the fact that they stick out like a sore thumb on 16/8 if i could get all my males to do it i would be ecstatic
because i could just veg on 16/8 collect pollen then clean the room , give the plants a shower and flip
and the kc45 a little less then half are auto and they run on their own time i had some that were 1.5 months old when i flipped and they still took over a month to show flower so im pretty sure the 12/12 had no effect on em

im going to use all 3 males i think just match them up with a female that looks the same
and use my top pick on a branch of each
and not just a hermi 2 from the same strain >.> its either shit genetics or really bad luck
i only had like 40 beans from the F1
so im limited on what i got to see
then i culled all the string beans out put some out side in my super secret location
kept 16 inside originally and 14 outside im down to 11 outside think im chopping 3 of the males
and i have 9 inside that made the cut i culled pretty much everything with rapid lanky growth or a heavy skunk smell
