So I have found a male in another pack of CSI fems.
My first male was in Black D
Second in the Chem D Fallen soldiers and now this White x Chem D

Here she is with makeshift pollen collector sunning in the long Alaskan spring sunshine, although its
-16 F this morning!

Have you guys ever heard of the male found in a pack of fems that only produces female pollen?
I hope I have something special here and not the result of some stray pollen.
Wild. And on another note, that is a super dope candle.

I think that's more a result of growing a dioecious species and a young seed plant. I wouldn't be surprised if it started throwing pistils as well in a few weeks.

Can you keep that full term to see what happens? It could be something genetic for sure but it could be expressing oddly now.

It could be pollen contam, best way to tell is seeing what this turns into. It's the most plausible thing if it starts happening with more frequency amongst others with the Chem d batch.
I was hoping to collect some pollen and then throw him under 24 hour light for a reveg.
Hit some ladies and grow out the progeny and see how he lays.
I can try to take the top the distance by cutting it back and putting in some solution and see how far he will go under 12/12

My pack of frosty the snowman, i had at least 1 male and I think a second one when i popped the other half of the pack. I didn't even report the first one but after the second onenI let him know and he halfway said he didn't believe. but I had been documenting the grow the whole time so I linked him to where I had found the fellas (and the 3 or 4 other strains I had documented from seed to chop) and we wound up chatting back and forth a few days. That was when he told me about how he had been dealing with an influx of scammers.

For what it's worth mine were full on charlie.. not a pistil etc to be seen.

I've seen some of the great strains you've ran and aside from the novelty I can't understand y u aren't just binning the male that popped up from fem stock. I suppose u could have stumbled into something great but my prediction would be that the genetics are wonky and not worth the time or effort to Chuck

I'm an amateur professional breeder :p
Always looking for something unique and killer.
White x Chem D sounds like a great cross to me to
test on some clones I've selected or collected.

What can you tell us about the 56 day cut?

I need more 56 day strains in my library.
I started some early finishing
Bubblegum x Silver Pearl (Souvenir Seeds) in the same 4x8 table as the TK S1's, Chem D S1's and a Diesel cross.
The other strains were like screw you and completely overtook them.
Lesson learned plant like with like.
the shit that takes 56 days is usually the shit that takes 2-3x as long to veg

I really think it's stray pollen or an errant seed
It's kinda weird that this is coming up here at this time. I popped too many beans last round out of fear that those bubba's were old. I had to let a friend take the 12 smallest. He found a male in the 12 feminized csi seeds I gave him. Dogshit x bubba.
Ya I wouldn't consider a male popping up in a pack of fems something great, probably more like some fucked up mutation more than anything. Also could carry mutant genes on
Theoretically it's not possible, but
I have a feeling it's pollen contamination or maybe a few reg seeds get mixed into the packs between packaging sessions.

For sure. I was thinking stray pollen. Not a fan of his regular crosses so I probably wouldn't grow it. Also could be hemp pollen. Fucking hemp growers destroying all the outdoor sensi these days lol

Just did a little looking and the exact lineage of the cut seems to be a mystery but it’s speculated to be a 3 way hybrid between 2 northern Cali sativas and Purple Kush. 75% sativa dom so definitely tall and stretchy.
I was wondering if it actually does get tall and stretchy though because the same information that I found as you also came along with a description of a short plant that finished in a ridiculously short window of time I think they said 48 days or something lmao

I’ve been seeing this a lot on the forums lately, kinda crazy. Seen someone get a male out of gelato 45 x chocolate diesel from Useful and someone got a male out of a different fem strain from him. But my question is this, is the pollen male or female? I think finding out if the seeds are fem or not will give you your answer. If they’re feminized I think it’s just a mutation and if male then some random pollen got up in there.. Just my opinion

Anybody else running the mendo purp 54 x forbidden fruit? I popped one a month ago and this thing is a stinky little girl. Have new mom selection going on this year wel see how she flowers. Probably just pop the whole pack. Anyways please update or share a link i found info on the mendo purp 54 but not on this cross. Will do pics later today or tomorrow , also good ol days growing strong with great root growth.

Agree. The other part I wouldn't like is the lack of selection and amount of work required on a total crapshoot in part because you're testing the first and only male. The couple times I've reversed a plant was only after I had completed a clone run to see if it was worth the effort. With all that said I admit I'm curious as hell to see what baker comes up with

Mendo Purple Urkle 3.5 at day fifty-ish, I'll probably take it 70.

Dude I love purple urkle...even though it's considered an older strain it still can hold its own. When grown in a dialed in environment it really shines especially if you crank the mini-split and let the purp really come out. I know some can shit on purp strains being weak potency but I've seen some purple strains I've grown really amaze people.

urkle has a great smell. And has clearly made amazing crosses hybrids.
