I made some water hash with a male last season and got about a gram of golden honey colored 75u bubble 
It had a very up sativa high and was quite sticky, like my other Sativa hash.
It came from a plant I intended to use for Pollination of my Kush mothers. I had cut the top off the male and collected the pollen, then took the leaf and made bubble out of it.
I have the small one gallon bubble bag kit, so I did a small batch with just that leaf.
After I sampled the male hash I thought it was not too bad so I tried to make hash from another male. This plant was about the same size as the first one and I used the same amount of leaf. But I did not get the same yield or quality as the first batch of bubble from the other male.
So I was thinking that this may be a good technique breeders could use for Male Selection.
Choosing a male for breeding is difficult because you don't know how much THC its progeny will have. Breeders use a few males and pollinate the mother they want to use then sample the resulting seed.
But if you can find a male that yields more hash then your others. Its a safe bet that it would be a good male selection for a high THC trait.
Next season iam gonna grow out some of the Kush Seed I made and use this Technique to select a male. Then use him to pollinate a branch on a few of the females that look to be the best.
A sampling of the females when harvested will tell me which one will produce the strongest seeds.
Use those seeds to begin the recurrent selection process all over again.
