Sannie's website is unavailable right now, on my computer anyway... I d like more ideas, I m looking through marijuana seeds canada website but maybe someone has an idea of a strain that would suite my needs ...
I gotta say, looking through all the seedbanks nowadays, if we don't do anything we won't be able to get males for breeding anymore, 90% of breeders sell 100% feminized or a mix of feminized and autos but the regular seed categorie is shrinking... I want to prepare myself and have the most varied terpene profiles under seed form....

yes seedsmans original skunk1was really uniform,sensi's not so much but a good plant..
i buy packs of 10 regular seeds as often as possible then buy a few feminized of the same strain normally 3 fem with 10 regs.. that way i know i can get a male plant but ive found finding a breeding male is harder than finding a good female in each 10 pack.. i usually only buy feminized seeds to compare against with the reg females i get, then make S1'S off the best female.. then i bx3-bx4 best male n female out of the regulars... i have more stable seeds ive made myself than store bought

Breeding is pretty much all the IBLs are good for, they're so sluggish and weak. Skunk #1is usually very resinous, good flavor and high, so that's usually a good choice for a breeder. I would look for a good female and turn it male and breed fems, because how can you tell what kind of buds you would get by looking at a male plant?

After you have grown and looked at em for several years, you can tell a lot

You could tell about the general vigor and growth characteristics, but how could you possibly predict the bud structure of a female version? Anyway, just a suggestion, to use a female and turn it male. Actually, you couldn't really predict bud structure with any great accuracy even that way, but it would give somewhat better indications.After you have grown and looked at em for several years, you can tell a lot

Some males grow frost and actually tric up, and you can gather the smell of a male by rubbing its stem. And the male flower (ball clusters) are in fact a good sign of bud structure, all different, just like the gals. But I've gown a lot of males, most growers don't

You keep recommending to turn a female into a male. I assume you would do that with the aid of chemicals? Would i get the same pheno variety from a self pollinated F1 as i would in a regular F1 to F2 pollination?
Also, if i would start with an F3, Would i get F4 properties or would it be close to the "parent plant"? If the properties of the plant i start with could be preserved I really think about doing this to my Apollo 11 Genius F3. I've heard that the F4 which were available for a while weren't as good as the F3.

I don't know about the second part, but it would be an F1, yes, as long as both plants used in the cross are from different strains. You would make the male flowers appear by treating the plant with silver solution. You can find out about that through Google.

I see, okay. Since I'm posting here I'll show you a pic I took showing the difference between a Sugar Candy plant, left, and an Orange Hill Plant, though the difference is a lot more obvious in person. The OHS budlets are about half the size of the SC ones.
I only had one seed of the SC, which came as a freebe from Original Seeds. The freebe turned out to be the best one. This thing grows like absolutely crazy and yields huge. And look at the resin. It has a hazy taste. Lots of good strains went into this one, including Hawaiian Haze. The buds develop fast. The pic is at 3 1/2 weeks. I'm gradually moving to that strain entirely. OHS was unimpressive. It does take a full 10 weeks to ripen and start purping out though, not 7 weeks as the site says. You could smoke it at 7 weeks, but it wouldn't really be done.

Didn't know CSB was shipping to none medical and legal places. I talked to the guy that runs that before he got up and running all the way told me he wasn't gonna ship to non medical and legal states guess that changed lol. I would like to get a pack of them but people are always on them so it's not biggie. I got Banana Puff f2 I'm popping now so don't feel too bad I missed out on those.

How many of the OHS did you grow?
You might have found a 1/100 keeper of the SCandy , you only grew 1 seed(so you have no idea how stable the strain is)
I had a single free cloud#9(2001) bean, skunk/haze/mango(sweet fruits) with peppery undertones. Complete smell>flavor transition
+ the strength was insane, never built a tolerance, and even saw traces similar to low dose shrooms.
I'm curious how the dry sift would've been from that plant, but that was before I started sift/rosin tech
Bought 4x 10pk looking for that 1 specific pheno, the only thing stable about that strain was they were all 100% female(0 herm)
Now I always keep clones, non-keepers veggin clones are good compost.

I only grew 2 OHS. Got 3 seeds but one didn't make it. As you said, I may have got lucky with the 1 SC seed being a good pheno. It is a pretty stretchy plant, but that's the only flaw really. No more stretchy than the OHS though, which is another stretchy one.
