Do you guys ever fully flower out your males? I have only made seeds a handful of times and always killed the dudes off after collecting.

Is there any benefit to doing so? I often hear people praise resinous males but Mr. Soul has said some interesting things on the topic. Something along the lines of you would never select a dude with manboobs for a human breeding project looking to produce big breasted daughters.

Breaking up a bud of my purple pheno of black dog last night and found a little surprise.20190210_213455.jpg

Now the problem is, what male pollen made it? Did the bunk goji pollen actually create a few seeds or did the 1 lvtk clone I hit with tangerine power pollen still have a little viable tp pollen on it when I put it back in the tent?

If I find a handful of beans in both black dogs and lvtks not hit by TP then I'll assume it is goji pollen's work but if I only find a couple seeds in those buds then I'll assume it was TP.

That could be a nice cross there. The lone magic bean.

Perhaps that Black D.O.G. wasn't fully neutered.

Questionable parentage sort of eliminates it from breeding, but not from growing it. If you like mom, you'll probably like the kid.

This is second run with black dogs and I haven't found any evidence of dude parts on either run and the clone run was definitely stressed hard.

As I go through the buds I recently harvested, that were all "hit" with the dud goji male, I will keep an eye out for beans.

If I find 5-10 beans in each black dog and in the lvtks then I will assume the goji did in fact actually pollinate some pistils. If it is just a random bean here and there then I will assume I was sloppy with the tang pow pollen.

Though I don't really think it was tangerine power pollen. This purple b dog never really sat too close to the 1 small lvtk clone hit with tp pollen. Plus I pollinated and left the lvtk clone with tp pollen in the veg room for 3 days then sprayed it down before I put it in the tent.

Hopefully I rushed to judgement saying the goji pollen didn't take but I'll know soon enough because this black dog ain't gonna be around long enough to cure.:bigjoint: So if there are more beans in there I'll know in a couple weeks.

Definitely won't be very many beans either way.

Sounds like a project for somebody.

I'm listening to that Potcast episode right now, Episode #6(around the 1:20:00ish mark). His obsession with large breasted women's fathers is quite fascinating and certainly holds merit. His approach seems to be that you shouldn't throw out other males because you found a resinous male. That the resinous male isn't proven to produce resinous female offspring because it's resinous, he seems to consider that could possibly part of the males genetic traits that it might only pass on to other males, that's unknown until it's bred with, which makes sense from my completely uneducated on the topic viewpoint :) He also lists a few other traits that he looked for as a more whole picture. Took me a bit to figure out where he was going with his analogy, but I think that was it.

I think the presenter may have taken the statement a little too absolutely, but I could be wrong. I listened to the Bodhi episodes part 1 and 2 the other day and Bodhi says he looks for resinous males in his breeding projects but also of course looks for other traits. Bodhi seemed to be of the opinion that resinous males were more likely to produce resinous offspring, which again totally makes sense to my completely uneducated on the subject mind.

Test vape of Sleeskunk F2s this morning. Citrus catpiss and earthy but somehow lip smacking good. Pretty good relaxing head rush and a feeling of highness, that slightly detached world where everything is interesting. An intriguing bitterness and hash taste on exhale. Still a roadkill Skunk note from time to time. Got 4 and a couple are “snow covered” and gooey gooey gooey goodness.

6 Copper Chem F2s a couple weeks old and topped and happy and green and vigorous and ready for first up pot!

1 SleeMonkey girl out of 7 of my chuck, more later.

Wedding Cake BX1 #5 decided to become Johnny (no short circuit pun intended) and hit my Sour Larry Pebbles #3. Few dud white seeds leaving just this and another seedling up and out.
