bb breeding question

hello folks, ive done some breeding in the past but im no pro. i have a cereal fruity pebble cut i want to pollinate with some dj blue berry males. my question is how and wich of the 3 males do i pick to in hopes get blueberry flavor? or is this as hard as finding the tasty female?

not one person has bred with a blueberry male???

Regardless of which male you pick it's going to be a crapshoot. The lineage of Fruity Pebbles has so much stuff in it that you could get all kinds of variations. There's no guarantee that you'll get anything blueberry. Flip a coin, grow out a bunch of seeds, and search. Good luck.

Your best bet is to pollinate different branches with different males and label them so you don't forget which is which. Then grow out seeds from each and see which one gave you the best tasting progeny.

Your best bet is to forget males and reverse one of your best females. You can directly see what traits the pollen donor is carrying and all your seeds are female. Win-win. Search for silver thiosulfate.

more involved, but could be worth the time and effort this precision technique calls for

gotta love the simplicity and directness of this manoever

Lately, I'm into creating new CBD-rich sativa-dominant strains.. here's my latest results.. but first.. kudos to Lawrence Ringo (SoHumSC) for his amazing work on one of the P1s, Sour Tsunami (his 4-yr IBL project).. whilst the other P1 is an old-school, yet still a mainstay today in many a quad-A stash, westcoast BC IBL (Skunk #1 lineage), gold and purple phenos. Seeds for that P1 were a gift from my friend. After growing it out, with seed production each time, I now have both F1 fem and F2 fem seeds from this line that I'm now calling, 'Quadra Tsunami', a.k.a. 'Quadra Tsu', a.k.a. (even more fun), 'QT', as in, "...keep it on the QT" (the down-low).
Terps are sweet tropical mango-melon-papaya punch with garam-masala-spice overtones and lime-pine undertones. Exotic, to say the least.

I am in concurrence with XTSHO and Observe & Report.

Also, from experience, the DJ Short Blueberry genes carry a lot of hermaphroditic alleles.
I would also suggest avoiding STS as the progeny will inherit the forced genetic mutation.

What I would do is:
1. Clone the Pebble cut en masse.
2. Flower all the males and collect their pollen (label them)
3. Pollinate branches marking each (surveying tape works well)
4. Germinate and flower a large pop. (100 seeds) can be done in a very small space and on a budget
5. Cull the weak
6. Week 4-5 flower you will know whos got their terpenes going
7. Collect seeds of preferred expression.

What you seek to do is challenging!
Best of luck.

Happy growing!
