What do you know about the male?
What are his traits?
Well Best of luck. I hope they work well. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding one wants slower displaying males. Just started making F2s myself and slower flowing is a trait I look for.
I've heard that slower flowering males will enhance yield (longer calyx production period) or have other beneficial effects. Personally, in male selection I like to look at the structure of the plant first, and then just collect the pollen and test the beans. As long as you won't be majorly kicking yourself in the ass if you end up growing one or two not that great (read: hash) plants, well, why not go for it? Free beans is free beans, right?what is the benefit of a slower flowering male? I fig it would be the opposite? Im not trying to be a professional brreder or anything like that, just personal use. Tired of spending shit load of $ on seeds. Thanks for you reply!
