Male selection and everything related

Ideally you would do lots of 1:1 crosses and select the best parents based on that. So if you have two strains you want to cross you select say ten potential parents of each and make the 100 potential crosses. Then grow out some of the offspring to test for the best cross.
I still say that for reducing plant counts fem seeds are the way to go.

I need to learn how to breed these marijuana plants on my own. Can't rely forever on the use of feminized seeds. got to learn how they make crosses.
This is the reason why I recently bought regular seeds from a online seedbank. Just hope I do it right so trying to get tips.

i ended up just turning my light off and leaving the males to die. i checked em out few days ago and dry stiff. so i harvested the pollen that was there. who thinks the pollen is still viable? well see, i bagged each one seperate so i can see which pollen passes what traits . hopefully lol

Cherry puff pollen sounds good! I know a few strains in my garden I would hit with that.

looks like ill have pollen from 6 males to chuck on 2 fems

anyone want to chime in on what pot size you guys flower your studs in? im thinking no less then a gal a like 10 inches.

I love the set-up, sir, seriously.
I'm planning on using some short term cardboard breeding areas myself in the near future.
It made sense to me, and I'm glad to see that it made sense to someone else, too

Hell yea this box has done it all! Sprout , clone, veg, and flower. T5 worked great in all modes as well. Hope to see ur shit soon.

I'll use a 1qt sharps container.

do you ever feel like you could be holding back the males full potential in a small container?

I also will flower out clones in small containers to sex them and I let them finish for a sample if they're female and as long as I don't fuck things up they come out fine. Growing in small containers can be quite challenging because the time between the media being moist enough and too dry is very short.

About to flower out another round of males, cherry puff male and mendodawg males. Lets fucking go....can i score a mendodawg stud that makes every bitch sparkle with purp!

Collecting Pollen from a Nice Stinky male Animal Cookie. Should be ready in a week to harvest. Not sure what I want to cross it with just yet.
I have 30 strains to choose from. I do have Blue Dream and a Tangerine Dream germinating, possible candidates.

Them males really dried up and stiff hah!
I counted seven in all. Are they all the same strains and came from one batch?
How many turned out to be female? Nice set-up by the way.

As far as male selection goes, I have heard you want the male to be recessive, so anytime I have a male of a strain that shows sex after all my females of the same strain, I keep that male aside and will use the pollen in the grow room on a few selected plants. (as long as it's a strain I want to breed with)

i love that shit i love pollen i really do i cant believe for years i usto fear it, its not bad at all.. ITS LIFE WITH VIGOR!!!!!!

i agree! i used to fear the shit like herpes, but after fucking with it that shit aint so bad/.
