Mix 2 dissimilar strains together and you'll end up with hybrid vigor.
There's nothing like having a plant that shows hybrid vigor, if its Dank, that is.
ive gotta say a chuck can indeed be more stable than many bought expensive brands eg, my GDP x C99 chuck...very stable & uniform, very high female to male ratio, nil herm traits, yet a recent purchase of a pricey type such as Bay Exclusives show much variation in phenotypes

Im sure we've all bought an expensive disappointment at least once
(Rare dankness cornbread :( half died trying to germ )

The cheaper a bean gets it seems like im less critical on it

Compared to spending 150 plus on a pack
I expect at least one "keeper" and not just one better then the other bs lol

Curious by what you mean, "pass the stem rub test"? Do you mean you just didn't like the smell when you rubbed it?

I only ask because if you're judging how a plant might taste by doing the stem rub you're missing out on some killer phenos.

Some of the tastiest plants I've grown had zero good smells from stem rub. My blueberry (2001) was super grape jelly bomb but stem smelled like nadda.

Top 44 I had was fruity berry goodness and I actually almost threw her out because her stem rub smelled like green peppers, I hated that smell but then flower hits and it was berry goodness.

Critical jack herer had that same nasty pepper smell but again turned into berry fruity goodness.

Right now I do actually have a plant that smelled like oranges when I rubbed the stem and right now at 46ish days into flower it smells incredible, like orange rinds and tropical punch. I haven't harvested it yet so not sure if flavor will come through.

Hopefully you find some killer phenos any way you choose ladies. :weed:
Exactly! Don't get me wrong I like good bud but, I'm looking for an expression of certain traits. For me it has to pass a stem rub for me to chunk it.

Here are the "hermi" males to which @genuity was referring:

Cheers,

Great shots @Mohican, so you've ran into this a time or two it appears. Did you work with any progeny made from pollen of those males? Results?

I notice your "hermy" males are packing frost much like how my mimosa ♂ is, almost feminine amounts of frost without the stacked calyxes to go with. Did you see pistils throughout the plant structure or nearer the top?

Did your males make seed? Xavier on icmag (respected) suggests that if the plant makes seed, it isn't a male, which I find an interesting perspective if not simple yet hard to argue.

My male has yet to set seed, so not sure on that front but he's sure frosty.

Did you keep any of these males to work further @Mohican ?

Thanks @genuity for tagging Mo so we can have some more discussion on "reverse hermi" males.

First, just want to say this is a great thread.

On the left is a CannaVenture Pure Raspberry Kush fem. On the right is a female offspring of the WOS Columbian Gold female and a GPS Cackleberry male. I've got them side by side in a very small environment so there will be a lot of upkeep and pruning. To date, I've topped the bigger plant for obvious reasons. I have not topped the PRK, but have pruned back a few fans and branches and this is gonna be a tight one.
These sprouted on the same day and have been given the same environment since then. Clearly the cross has more vigor at this stage and will likely need to be more heavily maintained. 160ish watts of COB led and a 3gallon DWC I'll bring them back around again when there's buds to see! Cheers.

Sweet cookie (neverland x cherry sherbet) x fireballs

Popped 15 selected 6 based on smell, i was looking for better structure and there were stressed à little bit with soil à little bit too hot

Here are the chosen ones i Will keep the most smelly mâle and 2 female

Some Guava D F2s starting to ripen. I took the advice and chopped down to the pollinated branches and left them under T5s to finish up.

The other 2 girls were dusted heavily (they're 2wks behind this one) and they're starting to burst with nice seeds as well. So far so good. I just hope I harvest and dry them correctly. I'd feel terrible gifting duds

@genuity i think i will try crossing some landrace from my country with fireballs ,

she was the mother but she really helped getting a better structure for my sweet cookie and added her strong gaz smell to the already sweet and gaz smell of sweet cookie

I think fireballs could be ideal to tame some strechy and floppy strain

The Black Sour Bubble was a male gifted to me by SomeGuy who got it from Doc. I do not know how it was created. I did cross it with an L.A. Confidential before I knew it was a hermi. I named the cross Goodyear Blimp (GYB) after an iconic L.A. Bubble :bigjoint:

GYB:

The Jillanje BX3 is a line I have been working after crossing some landrace African Mulanje Gold with Subcool's/MzJill's Jillybean.

Mulanje Gold mom mainlined for 16 tops:

Holy shit. That wants to bust out of its cage. Beautiful
And I LOVE that macro shot of the seeds.
Never been much of an art collector but I would frame that, lol
It would be a good conversation "piece" bc only a handful of my friends would know what they were.
