I wish he would keep his males around longer. It's obvious he has great eye for breeding but I think he should keep makes around longer so crosses don't have to be made with new male. Too much 2.0 and 3.0 stuff lol

absolutely!...gotta be a codebreaker/mathematician to decipher some of the strain breakdowns these days? eg; P-Haze: (hp13/a5 bx) & A5 Jack: (10k jack/a5 bx)

I agree on keeping males longer, but as long as the "new" generation is comparable I suppose it allows for more possibilities of diff keeper phenos when hunting

Maybe in Topdawg's case the mom is the key(dominant), and he's still searching for the right male. I also thought he might be doing it to make it harder for his work to be stolen by an up and coming seed company. 95% of his customers are probably after a mom, so if she stays, the odds prob don't change much. Changing the male prob makes it harder to pinpoint and find that good male? From a breeding perspective i would think it is harder to do it the way he is doing it, unless he enjoys the hunt, so there must be a reason.

could def be improving the line by finding better males. I'd have to go back and listen again but I'm pretty sure he said on the adam dunn show that he had all these elite clones and was looking for males to preserve genetics, ie double dog and subsequently tres dog have afghani 1 keeping the chem d dominant? So I suppose it's not unreasonable to think over time better males have been found to improve the line. It could also just be easier to keep seed stock than a male and female keeper for each cultivar. With enough time and stock you could find desirable males for new programs. Whatever the reason it seems to be working just fine

My buddy an I stop at the booth at Michigan cup an after chatting a while an dabbing them out with my Phoenix Fire #1 rosin we actually ended up with a unreleased new cross. P1 X ONCYD . P1=Super Silver sour Chem Diesel Haze.
The sample nugs we smoked on were nice . I ll be popping them in couple weeks an we ll see.

My last 4 stardawg IX went in the paper towel last night. Just shooting for 4 healthy plants at this point. Only two survivors from round 1. Gonna baby these last 4 for sure!

So all 4 popped and are rooted and doing spectacular compared to my first go. Left the dome off once they came up and put a small light on them right away....these stretch way more than any seedlings i have ever sprouted. First two survivors are doing well now...seem to be a little more nute sensitive then my other strains....I may have overcharged my coco first round, I think that contributed to my poor survival rate. Anyway, hopefully this info helps someone else having issues.....it was definitely a learning experience for me!
