Need a good male for Romulan seed run

I just got some feminized Romulan beans, and I want to reserve one plant for a seed run. I bought these because I heard Romulan is the very best for insomnia, so I want this trait to remain the highest priority. I've got about 6 other strains, mostly hybrids of higher Indica than Sativa, but I'm willing to buy something specifically to pollinate the Romulan. Any good suggestions?

Self the plant with silver. Let it produce nanners if it does late and self that way. Many plants will produce nanners late in flower to preserve themselfs if they never get pollinated.... not cause of stress or hermie tendencies. Selfing is the closest thing to a clone in seed form

Making fems from a single fem plant is sub optimal.
Yeah, that was not the plan. I know I can stress it, let it "go long" so it will produce nanners, but like you said, it's sub optimal. If I can find some regular seeds (all mine are fem) that would be a good cross with the Romulan, that would be my course of action. I'm just happy to see Romulan seeds; it's always been a "clone only" strain.

The issue is you don't know what traits any male will pass along. You would have 2 grow out multiple males, select one that has desirable traits, cross it, let the seeds develop, grow out a bunch of the seeds to see if it was a bust. If you have the space and time have at it, or if you'll be happy with just getting seeds period.

I got Romulan regular seed from Lucky13 ( https://www.lucky13seeds.com/romulan ). Although they say they're sold out if you flip them an email and ask nicely they might find some of the private stock for you. I got some a couple years ago. $75 Canadian for 13 seeds. I haven't grown any out yet so I can't say what they're like for sure but I've never been disappointed with Lucky13 products.

If you want to see what else works check their chart for what strains work for what ( https://www.lucky13seeds.com/cannabis-medicinal-strain-guide ).

I disagree, I think incorporating a male and making as many seeds as possible will create the opportunity to find a stud male and female. There's a reason s2s aren't sold by most reputable breeders

I second this points, one might get lucky and get a decent batch, and being all female saves work, but the % of possible good stuff that can come from a male and female is way higher AND it is fun also.

getting some regular seeds from a great place like MNS might be an option, i personally used the silver many times, but the best things i ever made always came from male/female pollination. one good option might be a valid male from this one, medicine man https://www.mrnice.nl/dhtml/strains.php?id=29

A good hashplant or afghan imo would be a good bet real romulan is a stout lil mofo so anything that would boost the yield would be a good bet i reckon a good chem line like c4dd from verdant green would be a killer cross also i think its lineage if i remember right has some korean thai and columbian as well as afghan in it so its not a pure indica its worth bearing that in mind too if your gonna breed with it

The 88 g13 crosses definitely are solid good shout man they yield ok for being mostly pure narcotic type stuff herijuana is another one but harder to get pure rn and yields less the kush 4 influence would be cool to see i guess that ones another jim ortega line like maple leaf etc

Bout to put 4 into flower, scrog style. I'll try to save a cut of each for breeding next year, but they've got to show me something great to earn a spot.

This is exactly what I need! I'm ordering a pack of Romulan and a pack of their Peanut Butter Herijuana. Thanks my friend!
