I keep them if I want to test them.

Yessir. I kept a couple around for a bit. I don’t do it often but my jelly pie male I did a few separate chucks with.

Look into the bonsai mom technique. You can keep a lot of plants around in a small space with that method. You could even keep it in a 3" pot and clone it every time it out grows the pot, shouldn't lose any vigor by summer.

Yep all the time. I just potted 4 rooted males today. That is one clone from 4 different males.
*Okay I looked at what I wrote and it doesn't really tell you anything useful. So to explain a bit this is what I do when I pop a pack of seeds. I usually pop a whole pack at once though there are a few exceptions to this rule...
I clone all the females if the plants warrant saving. Lets face it we've all run a pack (or many) that was a waste of good dirt and time so NO on those but I clone everything usually. So run them out through maturity and if they look good take clones if not don't. Chop the males and flower the females and be done with them unless in flower a gem shows herself then take a cut. I just rooted clones that were taken the end of the 4th week of flower on a 9 week plant. It's doable!
So anyway with good males I will clone them then flower them and see what they have to offer. A lot of times I chop them just before the pods open. This tells me enough that I can make a decision on the males I keep around to breed any females of same strain I may keep or want to breed.
So to put it in perspective. Right now I'm running a nor cal gooey bx. Gooey Mom x (gooey mom x C99) and really am liking what I see so I want to do an open blow but not with the seed plants. I'm flowering the females and the males are still in veg. This time I'm not going to flower the seed plant males. I have rooted clones of all 4 and don't need to see them flower first. So for these it'll be pictures then chop. I also just popped a couple of dukes c99 fems and am going to wait 4 weeks for them to get some size them I'll toss them in with the 4 gooey bx males (clones) along with the 5 gooey bx females (again clones). At this time these plants are over 60 days and getting big. By cloning i can do my open blow with smaller plants. A couple hundred from each female suits my purposes.
Basically what you are suggesting. Keeping males small taking up less space and resources.

I cloned this Cali king male while it was flowering outside and got it to reveg. First time I’ve had luck revenging a male. Thing is a beast now... he was frosted out so I plan on running a small tent of crosses and maybe f2 selection, although I have the Tahoe cut now so I may just go that direction. The plan is to run 4 females with a male in the middle per 2 gal fabric pot In a 2.5 x 2. figure I can squeeze 3-4 pots in the tent and get a decent amount of seed and a lotta crosses.

Summer 2020 chucks coming up. Bodhi Hindu Hash × Bodhi Black Raspberry and a 2019 chuck x black raz
Seed haul from 1 of the 2 pollinated plants
2019 chuck finishing up indoors. I've got some foxtailing going on up top. Pushed my light wattage too much this run .
Happy New Year's all. Stay safe

Check it out. This is the one I use. "Krups". I don't know coffee grinders but I do know it'll grind weed. I'm guessing this thing is for one cup coffee. Coffee/spice grinder as they call it. I'll claim spice.
Fancy...
No idea where the wife got it. She wasn't using it. So I claimed it.

She'll chill out after you pack her a cone. Any time mine gives me grief about running a grow room. I tell her to stop smoking my weed. Her mood will change instantly.

I love those coffee grinders. I get about 10 years of daily grinds from one - coffee grinds that is.
The fancy ones break.

Also great for grinding up cubes for capsules or edibles.

Looking good @TheBlackHand420
First males of the yr to test..
Sundae driver x Dulce cherry punch
I'm leaning towards the male on the left,he has my eye.
Left side male
Right side male
I like the bigger male pods,tight clusters,closer node spacing & darker/blue hues of the plant.

The one on the right looks like it will produce pollen sacks slower and eventually be a bigger “yield” and is it me or is it showing a fair amount of non staminate resin? If you’re not gonna use it could I talk you into sending me a little of that pollen?

Your eyes don't lie & they are both being grown till the end for sure,cause these plants change fast on us.
Definitely resin production on the right side.

What will you do to test the males? Collect pollen from each and do some pollinating? Or grow them out and go by structure, smell, resin production?

I was thinking of rubbing that up on my alien og.

All of the above.
Soon as they start to drop pollen,I'll put them in they own 2x2 tent,add the clones that are to be the test subjects (same clones for both males).
Nice.I was thinking of rubbing that up on my alien og.
