I know there's a chucker thread but it's too long
What do u guys look for in a male?
Basically all I've learned is that the larger the male the more hempy
I would guess u look for smell from stem rubbing and look for trichomes and even smoke the males... Maybe look for branching pattern or leaf to calyx ratio idk really seems like a lot of the Riu breeders are on this thread
If I want big yielders would the larger plants lend that trait? Guess I should go read more
Thinking of tossing some pollen on some ladies and only have made seeds by accident before

I personally go by:

Vigor
Slower to sex
Stem Rub smell
Smoke it
I like nice hollow stems with solid structure (I don't like floppy traits, but thats a personal thing some people love it probably)
Node spacing
Trich Production
then it gets subjected to several different grow styles, and MULTIPLE stresses, if it can't handle things I kick it to the curb...but I've personally never found a keeper male in 1 pack of beans, always takes me multiple, I'm unlucky tho :D

also im thinking how the male flowers form on a plant is a sign of how dense the budding may occur in the female offspring, eg a male that has very dense and full flowers in thick clumps may have female offspring with similar attributes in her budding, yet a male with small & less dense flower sites may pass on that trait too? just a probable observation though not 100% sure on that

I was completely shut down for security reasons but a former customer contacted me to help them start and finish a crop. So board and missing doing my thing I said OK... well watching someone else grow is painful at best but one day while assisting on the way to his room I caught a whiff of greatness. Low and behold there was one of the most beautiful, stinky, resin in veg males I had ever seen. This guy was a purple kush x northern lights and he had everything. Beautiful, sticky, sticky dude but when I informed the grower the plant was a guy he freaked even though I told him it would be a while before pollen dropped and I told him I wanted a cut or two of that plant. I should have taken my cuts then because this first time grower lost sleep for three nights thinking of that bad dude molesting is ladies and decided to put him down the food disposal like a crack head a 3am "man I just couldn't sleep knowing he was in there". That was like five years ago and that plant still sticks to my thoughts... lol
