Are you keeping males around or doing one and done chucks?
I have a couple dudes I’d like to keep. One is flowering in veg 18/6 which is irritating. The cuts I took are rooting but also flowering.

If it’s flowering under 18/6 you don’t want to keep it, you should toss it.
Any of these going to be at DCSE? Sounds like a great cross and these orgis are coming out really nice!

You should rename that one to "Briscos All Fruit" and send me a pack for the idea of course.

I defoliated 4 Copper Chem F2s from @Amos Otis early in flower and at 4 weeks they have more than made up for it! All are very much alike and differences are slight. Nice branching and making nice flowers. Top dressed today with fish bone meal, ashes and EWC. Really vigorous from the start and much more uniform than GPS Copper Chem.
MonkeySkunk chuck of mine is 53 days is ready. Only female is a runt but I flowered her since she was the only female. Smells woody and dank earth today. Gooey hard and extremely frosty buds! Bush like in structure. Big buds for it’s size.
Space Monkey f2 three weeks today and looks like a Monkey!
Veg tent has 7 MonkeySkunk a couple weeks old in blue Solos ready for up pot to hotter mix.

I think it’s fairly common. Thanks for the tip but any info you have that backs that up would be appreciated.
Your hypothesis is all males that flower in 18/6 are inferior?

I hold my males to the same standards as my females. If a female started flowering under the same circumstance I would toss it all the same. If it’s not root bound and flowering, most would consider it unstable. I agree, it is common in males, which is why good males are hard to come by. Obviously their your plants, you can do whatever you want and enjoy it the same. My advice is if you are looking for stability, and auto flowering male is not the best place to start.

When you say flowering , do you mean it’s full on in flower and will finish or is it just tossing some balls like preflowers ?

One and dones, but I keep some seeds in case I want to revisit the crosses at some point, like Carla Olson, Candy Samples and Hutter's Stash.
I look at my stash, then choose a dozen or so strains that seem like they'd be appealing matches to the intended male
I loved those commercials, but wasn't fond of the product. Will definitely keep it in mind.
Edit -the format monster lives.

You definitely don't want a male around that spits pollen whenever it wants to. And you probably don't want to pass along that trait. I watched a video with fletch from archive recently He was saying only about 10% of males are true males. He said he reverses a lot of males to check out what terps they pass and to see if they really are male.

The tang pow male I used last year shot preflower balls in veg and he has made some really nice daughters. The only cross that has hermie issue is the citrus twist, miyagi x tang pow, and that is cuz miyagi mom passed on the trait. The other crosses have been fine.
Bottom line, you dont know what a male will produce until you grow out his offspring.
If it has nice qualities xhuck with it, dont get caught up with what someone running hundreds of plants does, jmho.

Likely all will get to DCSE in a month or so. Great work on your Orgis.

I’ve drought stressed it like you do. And it’s def throwing balls on branches. Good size male and I could tell it wanted to turn. If it goes to reveg I will keep. If not I’ll toss. Once it gets to this stage I would imagine it’s hard to reveg.
