Top of the morning AJ. I am sipping my first coffee and preparing to finish packing up beans form my lastest selections to ship out to the growmies. Was up last night making labels and filling packs so the bulk of the work is done. Yah!
I always wanna find the best male ( to a fault) so I try to do all possible combinations of 1:1 pollinations , then hold all the parents till the progeny are grow out and evaluated. Hence the reason I've been stringing a dozen or so males along for the last couple yrs! That didn't come out right.? Anyhow, be like water...

Top of the morning, Buderton! Was going to message you the other day while I was collecting pollen was thinking of our chat.
You know I gave myself 2 hours for some espresso which I knew was ambitious.. Here I am 4 hours late hahah!

That sounds fun, wish I could join. I am getting ready to send a few things out myself :blsmoke:

Man the 1:1 and test the children. That's work, bro. Eventually this is the way I would want to do it also. But for now the 'high risk / agressive selecting' is what my current space affords. So I will sacrifice one by one (with confidence of course) based on the paired plants and what I'm trying to do.

So for example the Beatrix crosses I just went through, I discarded the tallest because it had shown triploid about halfway up main stalk. No pollen collected from him but his colors and smell were so nice... The what if's haunt me but I get over them. I then went through and looked at the internodes and colors. Based on feeding and swinging the PH I will watch the leaves. I don't want any leaf curls. So then the next to die was the shortest. I chose between the two shortest but I kept both of them. Their growth pattern was consistent, no matter light intensity they kept consistent internodes and branching... All while keeping in mind the pairing I am making is going toward a heavy indica single cola plant that has virtually zero stretch. It gets more in depth than that and I'm sure you can fill in the gaps there. But like I said there is always the 'what if's' so I think the way you described is the ideal way to hunt down males. This way you can chart how they are truly changing the female structure and go from there.

OK now I can go get some coffee...

Thanks for the show and tunes! Love what you are doing on here. Really sounds exciting and fun breeding hoping to educate myself on the matter ounce I have consistent grows!!

I think of it as a marathon, more than a sprint.
And I appreciate and understand the way you talk about male cannabis.:)

I can't speak about it any better than that. Reminds me of Nipsey Hustle :blsmoke:


Hope everyone is having a great start to their week. Some pics before cutting them again.

Keep in mind they have been chilling under low intensity.. (40 wattage) For our next moves:

Girl #05 is going into a 5 gallo, topped and staked. I think I can fill a tent with her alone.. So I will spread her out and possible run her solo. She is big and vigorous. Girl #03 is getting fim'd and tree'd. Not as vigorous or branched, but tall. Girl #04 is so short I was going to keep her single cola but I topped her again to pull root from. Accidentally killed the top so will need to take more cuts when she gets longer on the branches...

Boy #01 is big papi. I moved him back under his own veg space after taking a full branch and rooting that up in a 1gal.
Boy #02 is clones already (second and third picture there). Will clean up his side branching and give him some more light soon.

Life has been strange. After looking at my post I can see they are getting a bit hungry..
After I eat some ice cream and feel better am going to go add a pinch of some bone meals
