Looking like glue type flower formation on them spears, a little more pointy. Looks like a solid 8-9 week finish.
All of the flower times are very reliable on them GB, labeled from the flip to 12/12 not that bullshit from pre flower haha.

I have seen the full spectrum cob lighting speed up flower a bit plus with the combination of deep red 660nm and far red 730nm to speed the conversion of pr to pfr it can take 6 to 7 days off flower while still giving you good yields.

Just got over it myself. Don't know if it was the flu though, it lasted only 24 hours. Hope you feel better! And as always, those bitches look dope!

Thank you @WindyCityKush ! It's much appreciated. I think it's the flu for sure coming up on 4 days with no reprieve. These girls are packing on the resin big time. Resin glands are swelling as are the buds and colaxes. The way the buds come to a point has something to do with the cob spectrum but I have seen cob growers with rounded tops so maybe genetics or nutrients as well... :)

@tonygreen when you stress test your males, do you switch up the light cycle? I have been trying to find a keeper male, and the past two have looked great, then thrown hairs on me. Both threw exactly two hairs on one of 100 flower sites near the top of the plant. Both went through the same treatment, in flower room for a week, then quarantined to a room where i have to remember to turn the lights on, so light cycle becomes random, but never more than 12 hrs on. also the transition to prep the male flower area had each one on the dark for 2 days(while i got the new area ready) after flowering for the first week under 12/12. Then, they are fucking lucky if i can remember to feed them since they are on the other side of the house(coco near drying out completely). basically when i realize they are males, they get treated like shit. Both have similar lineage(sourdawg and underdawg D), and both threw hairs right after the 48hr dark period after flowering for a week. I guess if they were ladies and i got one or two nanners on the whole plant i wouldn't even think about tossing them, so that logic means they may still be keepers. Hope this is an ok place to ask, you have shared a lot of breeding knowledge in this thread, so i figured why not.

If they have hairs then they are not true males :)

Well DJ short would tell you those are "special" males. I call bullshit on that baseless claim!

I wouldn't use em man unless its for your personal stash and you dont give a fuck, for me putting beans in peoples hands who take time out of their life and make room in their garden I feel obligated because we all have bills, family, lives to live; it's not something I take lightly so if i put it out for the public better believe i test the shit out of em.

Light stress is ok, first 3 weeks of flower is when they are perfect to test.
Fuck the light stress though... The best way to stress test for intersex is root manipulation! The old days thats the secret way people made fems ha!
Stick you finger in there and tear up your roots a good bit and see what happens. If your dude can withstand that he's decent for intersex resistance!

In short if you like em anyway and the beans are for you go for it and see what comes of it.
If they are for market I wouldn't touch em! If they really stand out to you in special ways go for it and see what the progeny do!

For me maybe life is half over, who knows, time is limited for everyone so I aint fuckin around, mostly ha!

Yo Stoni if you never get to those Purple sherb x dosido, lemme know maybe we can trade out, I wonder if that purple is hard set in the whole line or a random pheno.
Was looking at some buckeye purple before but couldnt snag em. Wanna do a purple GB x'er eventually now that I got some fruit line established and haze x'ers on the way!

If anyone sees a loud as true strawberry let me know too.
I got a shitload of KQR f2's and KQR x my blue sat lijne from a few years ago to dig through for some pineapple when I got time, the mom KQR was all pineapple.

Ah time... lol

I have never smoked a good strawberry but have recently been wanting some.
I currently have 8 Shoreline Strawberry (fire alien strawberry X fire alien master) - I do believe, sprouted and ready for action. I am not sure how they will turn out but I was warned of nanners by a member.
I am looking for a worthy male, lol.

Thanks for the info on root manipulation.
Was wondering what you thought of revegging the male?
I had read that revegging a male was also a good test for intersex and general vigor and hardiness.

Thanks for the input Tony. They are just for me. Good males seem hard to come by, so i am searching for something different. Looking to go from random chucking to somewhat educated chucking, just ned the right male. I will prob save the pollen, but at least i know i am looking for something better.
