Looks like I got a male to play with.

Malawi / C99 ( Malawi gold x Cinderella 99 )
Bushy Sativa

Was flipped 6 days ago , then the excellerated tops with nutsacks forming. Me thinks I should keep this pollen because of the Malawi lean . I know about the calyx to leaf ratio on that strain but figured maybe do some Sativa or reverse .

What you guys think would be a nice cross for it ...??

Anything from old bros Grimm stock would be of serious consideration. Useful’s Apollo 11 f4 come to mind

I defoliated 4 Copper Chem F2s from @Amos Otis early in flower and at 4 weeks they have more than made up for it! All are very much alike and differences are slight. Nice branching and making nice flowers. Top dressed today with fish bone meal, ashes and EWC. Really vigorous from the start and much more uniform than GPS Copper Chem.

MonkeySkunk chuck of mine is 53 days is ready. Only female is a runt but I flowered her since she was the only female. Smells woody and dank earth today. Gooey hard and extremely frosty buds! Bush like in structure. Big buds for it’s size.

Space Monkey f2 three weeks today and looks like a Monkey!

Veg tent has 7 MonkeySkunk a couple weeks old in blue Solos ready for up pot to hotter mix.

If it’s flowering under 18/6 you don’t want to keep it, you should toss it.
I think it’s fairly common. Thanks for the tip but any info you have that backs that up would be appreciated.

Your hypothesis is all males that flower in 18/6 are inferior?

I hold my males to the same standards as my females. If a female started flowering under the same circumstance I would toss it all the same. If it’s not root bound and flowering, most would consider it unstable. I agree, it is common in males, which is why good males are hard to come by. Obviously their your plants, you can do whatever you want and enjoy it the same. My advice is if you are looking for stability, and auto flowering male is not the best place to start.

Are you keeping males around or doing one and done chucks?
One and dones, but I keep some seeds in case I want to revisit the crosses at some point, like Carla Olson, Candy Samples and Hutter's Stash.

I look at my stash, then choose a dozen or so strains that seem like they'd be appealing matches to the intended male. Good genetics in should be good genetics out, and 13 per pack should yield some good plants. In short, that is 'the Brisco Way"...

You should rename that one to "Briscos All Fruit" and send me a pack for the idea of course.
I loved those commercials, but wasn't fond of the product. Will definitely keep it in mind.

Edit -the format monster lives.

You definitely don't want a male around that spits pollen whenever it wants to. And you probably don't want to pass along that trait. I watched a video with fletch from archive recently He was saying only about 10% of males are true males. He said he reverses a lot of males to check out what terps they pass and to see if they really are male.

The tang pow male I used last year shot preflower balls in veg and he has made some really nice daughters. The only cross that has hermie issue is the citrus twist, miyagi x tang pow, and that is cuz miyagi mom passed on the trait. The other crosses have been fine.

Bottom line, you dont know what a male will produce until you grow out his offspring.

If it has nice qualities xhuck with it, dont get caught up with what someone running hundreds of plants does, jmho.

When you say flowering , do you mean it’s full on in flower and will finish or is it just tossing some balls like preflowers ?
I’ve drought stressed it like you do. And it’s def throwing balls on branches. Good size male and I could tell it wanted to turn. If it goes to reveg I will keep. If not I’ll toss. Once it gets to this stage I would imagine it’s hard to reveg.

My fucking girlfriend threw my 2 gmo seedlings cause I looked up pics ofof strippe on Facebook. I put them back in the dirt but they had kinked stems. Hopefully they will survive tho but idk last night was in the 30's n I had them in the bathroom under sink for saftey.
Hopefully they didn't die from violence and the cold FML

The plant will probably due better now.
