Bought Jordan Of The Island regular lemon skunk seeds. Germed February 10 2019 noticed the hairy sacs on March 1 2019. The plant itself is the fastest grower so far. Would this be a good thing as far as breeding? Healthy and vigorous male. Seems to be to young for terpenes but we will see. I am fairly new to this scene but favorite past time now. It almost looks like they could start opening in a day or 2. Weird... I have them under t5s 24/7. I do need a male anyway so could be my only one. Want to pollinate dna genetics lemon skunk and the females i get from Jordan's LS. Anyway pic is attached. I hope.

Move him to an area you don't grow in and put the pot in a garbage bag. Pull the garbage bag up over the plant and leave the top open. Once he dumps his load, empty it into a ziplock and stick it in the freezer.
When you are ready to pollinate, take a paper bag, put some pollen in it, put it over a branch and tape it closed around the branch. Give it a shake a few times a day for 3 days. Remove the bag and voila. A branch with seeds and the rest is unseeded bud.

I will have to try the paper bag method. How long will frozen pollen be viable? I saw a video where this guy dipped a small art style paint brush in pollen and just hit certain branches. I tried that on my last grow (fans off of course) and it worked perfectly. So that is how i will do a pheno hunt from now on. Get my seeds in the mail. Breed all with best male or all males will get assigned branches using colored pipe cleaners to mark branches. Fun stuff. Thank you 3rd monkey.

I've used pollen that was a year old with no problem.

I just assumed he meant flipped, not germed.- germed 10th/feb and 18 days later she is a foot tall with balls.... That is impossible by my reckoning sorry.
It is a male though

Under 24/7 t5's he said but im being bitchy here there was no need to really question it
Actually should have said went in the dirt and not germed (germinated lol). So the seeds hit the wet paper towel Feb 7 and in the seed starter mix on the 10th. And was 3.5 inches tall with balls on 3-1-19 . Not 1 foot. I have only been doing this 2.5 years and never saw any signs of male or fem parts. I hope it keeps growing and is useful as a breeder as it is pretty stinky already but now has so many nanners growing out the very top where the next set of leaves are suppose to be not sure what it will do.

Has anyone else ever had any males, from a pack of any regular seeds, grow flowers after only 3 weeks in the dirt? I have another that is already spewing pollen. Jeeze 4 inches tall and ruined the room. The only reason i went through JOTI is for the lemon skunk regular seeds. Why would this be hapening? 1st one didnt think to much about just thought it was a defect in 1 but now another? Lights are on 24/7 for veg. I am leaning to poor breeding. Anyone else have a clue? I have been searching but have not found much info on this situation. I have 1 of 6 of their God's Lemon Skunk going the other 5 never took. It is a pretty stinky fem and i managed to get 4 nice clones in the dirt of her. My main question is would these males be worth while breeding with?

There are no genetics for 4" pollen spewing 2.5 week old marijuana strains.

Males being produced from normal seeds is normal.
Males usually grow faster, and i have had many show sex before flipping to 12/12
I always question my grow knowledge. Thats what brings me here. So the main things that differ dramatically from an out door grow are light power/penetration and 24 hour veg. Never huge temp swings and humidity has had large swings but never below 30%. Like it at 50% but has risen to 75% a few times. I grow in a home mix soil and use only water for feeding and the only time the plants ever look a little rough is from transplanting from seed starting mix to my mix. The bottom 3 sets of leaves all turned yellow and the plants themselves seemed to stall growing. so I wanted something to do a light foliar feeding and ended up using GH flora Grow. I used to grow in coco/hydro and have GH flora grow from those days and mixed 1/4tsp in a gallon of water and sprayed that.There are no genetics for 4" pollen spewing 2.5 week old marijuana strains.

Also not quite sure I understand what your statement to
"There are no genetics for 4" pollen spewing 2.5 week old marijuana strains." is in reference to? I was wondering if this was more like a sort of hermaphrodite thing happening from breeding with fem seeds and selling those without being stabilized. I do know there is a difference, and these are not herms... yet, just an example.

In Subcools breeding post he mentions that you want a late showing male not an early one from memory- been awhile since I read it.

"The first mistake people make in selecting a male is by choosing the most vigorous. Remember those complexities I mentioned earlier? Well, the recessive drug traits we seek are stashed away in non-vigorous males. Think about the plant in the wild, the natural progression of Cannabis is back to Hemp."

Thanks for that. I read the article and will go with that. I do still have the 2 juvenile males and also cloned a god's lemon skunk male that has a huge lemon terp profile. So i think im good on my lemon terpine seed breeding. I am convinced they are a quality seed shop as all their seeds i popped have a very noticable scent at 3 weeks old. BC Bud depot fire og is not stable at all. I think they sweep seeds up off the floor and sell them as what ever you order no matter what they are. Got 6 reg seeds and got a diesel pheno a lightly scented berry pheno and a garlic onion and skunk pheno and the other 2 were more of a mix of scents but rock solid buds. They are med to high thc plants that left me still not knowing what the hell FIRE OG is.
