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.
I have cloned many an early/auto flowering male, just to have them fuck me again. Good luck, but I have a feeling you will be tossing him. There’s a reason many top notch breeders/chuckers go back to the same males....good males are hard to find. Everyone has their own standards. I have ladies that I’ve ran for 4-5 years and have not pollinated them yet b/c the right male/combo has not come along yet. That’s just my passion level though. I love this plant and have high standards, so when I find a real keeper, I’m not gonna just let her get knocked up by the bum in corner. I grow big plants, I want them fully mature, and I want to see what they’ve got. If I drop a seed today it will probably be 5-7 months before I see what I really have. I’m not going to put all that time and effort into a plant born from a male that was a fucking mutant in veg(by flowering). If you just want to make seeds, by all means, use him, and see what you get. If you’re serious, and have a goal to achieve, he is definitely not going to get you there.

I will need the luck. I’m 1 year into a 3 year project to create three males. I’m of course going to create some seeds to see what’s up. Mostly because I’ve seen no actual proof these early flowering males pollen creates any sort of unstable progeny. I just don’t see it. More than likely I’ll have to run my own tests rather than use anecdotal evidence on this one. I have nothing but time. :bigjoint:

All I know is you can find a male that looks like it will be the best thing ever, not throw any preflowers, show resin and have a kick ass smell and that male could still put out mutant offspring.

Recessive genes might not show in the male's generation but once you cross him those imperfections might show.

I've read most of the things those top ig breeders have read, and I've grown weed as long as many of them and I have made many crosses with many males.

Never has a male that preflowered a few balls just been a straight up dud, most have put out solid crosses that typically outshined either parent.

All from a tangerine power that showed a preflower ball or two.

Yeah I have started stressing my males to see what they do. But everything I know of genetics there is no external or environmental stress test to show recessive genes or any genetic disposition other than vigor and maybe mold resistance which are visible. I think the supposition that males that perform a certain way during stress is bro science at best.

My previous method of collecting pollen would not have been detected for stress behavior since I only flowered cuttings as soon the males showed preflowers. I’m growing some of those plants out now so we’ll see if they are hermie garbage or not. My guess is they’ll be fine.

Amigo, you've got to hook up w/ @Tangerine when she gets back so we can slip some beans across the border. Maybe send her a PM ?
@Amos Otis

I dont want to push Tang. If she is able I am sure that she will, but I dont want to push her, cause her grief. I hope that eventually one of the banks that your working with will ship north.

That cross of BB & JP sounds amazing though! Would love to.see some of them grown out.
She's posted positively about being a go between. I think it's just a matter of you guys getting together.
I'm here guys. Things just got a little crazy after my son left for basic.
I'm trying to get on top of things just not feeling like I've made much headway

Copper I'll shoot ya msg. I've been eyeballing a couple of packs on the site myself (and I want one of those T-Shirts, lol)

We don't delete anything. We're not admins on here. The only reason some posts were deleted on here were due to violations of RIU terms by some people on here. We have no say, despite what conspiracy theorists will claim.

You will find few negative reviews on Strainly. We don't delete them, that would defeat the purpose of the site. There are no fake reviews on Strainly. Everything is based on actual trades that took place.

For those thinking we're here to make a quick buck. We work day jobs to finance the site and put a lot of energy trying to incept a change in this industry, as you can see on our blog. Putting an open source breeding license together, doesn't make ANY money, but takes a lot of energy
I appreciate your mission and what you're trying to do....

However... this is super tacky.
This entire forum is kinda suspect at best to be honest... RIU reputation has gone down in the community... and a quick look here explains why...
Now you're insulting people for no reason...

What the heck. This is not good for your vendors.

I still go over there and i have used it, I have positive reviews, etc. Sorry bout the sarcasm. But I have also noticed how some packs and genetics go from one vendor to another in a day or two's time and it looks odd, to say the least. I mean its not your fault folks are going to expos and getting free packs and then reselling them on your site for millions, lol. I reckon you can't control that. But when its your platform some are abusing others with fake genetics or sock puppets to go back and forth to, it might reflect a little. I just notice that you can offer a good deal there and if you don't pay to keep it at top of page, crickets, lol. Nature of the beast. Can't you guys take constructive criticism? Like don't make the person buying the beans give feedback until he can get the beans, first and grow them out, how's he to know he's getting what he paid for? Everyone can repackage things these days and put a label on it and it can be whatever they want. That's actually my only gripe.

Hey man, I probably use strainly more than most here. But don't come in here running your mouth. There's some real issues that come with your site and these guys are telling you how they see your site. I mean what's the deal with getting permission to review someone? How is that honest? So if a seller drops the ball or rips someone, he doesn't let people review him. And nobody ever knows.


I've backed you guys up before, this isn't a poke. Just saying you need to listen to the people that are using your site.

Any off chance that someone has some 120300 foam inserts for seed pucks? I got a sample of 100 and lacon wouldn't include foams less than 1000.

I wanna give some crosses away
Im gonna be in the same boat here in about a month or so.. lmk what you find out. Perhaps someone has a couple hundred too many?? or a few of us can put something together??

@reallybigjesusfreak looks like you've got yourself a nice lil haul too :wink::wink:

I couldnt find less than a 1000 inserts, so Im using cotton bits.

Plus cotton is "organic" lol. Hippy approved.

Cotton is one of the dirtiest crops there are. The defoliant they use to get the leaves off so they can harvest the cotton is kin to Agent Orange used in the Nam. {my closest neighbor is a 500 acre cotton farm. You learn to stay inside when they are spraying}
