I judge my dads by how high i get off them.Node devoplment and stem thickness is good,but if the plant won't get you high ,what good is the rest.
When i grew outdoors,i would pull all of the males but one for my seeds.I found out that just selecting a male on his growth and looks did not make for good smoking pot.I then started testing the males.
I just cut one indica and one sativa male that i had going with a bunch of auto flowers.The indica would get me and the old lady buzzed with one bowl in the vaporizer.Good buzz that lasted,and better than what was being sold on the street.The sativa,you could smoke the whole plant and not get a buzz.What plant would you use to breed.OPH
