i would like to know more about choosing a male..they have balls not buds,, so do you go by how many balls,, lots of balls in a cluster = like a female w/ lots buds?? i look at the overall structure of males, if its branchy, not too stretchy, then smell but its hard to determine much by smell.. how quickly it shows sex, and how fast it produces pollen after 12/12,, i guess that would say its offspring would flower quickly... so how do you choose THE WRIGHT MALE???
Stem rub for smell. {use separate hands for different plants} Like you mentioned, structure as well as how vigorous the growth is. Over all health of the plant. If it is a tossup between two males, I will go with the last one to show sex.

thanks,,, here is what i find very interesting..




At time of germination are there any capitate trichomes on the cotyledon leaves? The number and frequency of non-glandular trichomes; this can be a great indicator of future glandular production. The earliest males to show sex get tossed, no ifs ands or buts. Dominant males are useless for drug
