Strut your studs!

[longball]

After growing fems and autos for a couple years I joined this site and learned real growers only grow M/F plants! And. You make selections of plants to improve the strain, yada. I suppose you would take a straw of the same strain and go from there but I wasn't that far along yet. One year I got a few males and decided to go from there.

The males were, left to right, Bananium, Critical Skunk, Early Queen, Early Queen, Unknown, G13 X Afghan Skunk. Second guessing myself I always wonder if I should have chose the Unknown one in the orange bucket. It's the only one that looks like different genetics.The Bananium looks like the Early Queen and they all look like Mr. Nice genetics except the one in the orange bucket.




I chose the one on the far right - G13 X Afghan Skunk - soon to be known as Mr. Fugly. I hit everything with him. Just pollen chucking hoping for a bit of chance and Good Luck. Even the best breeders need a bit of chance and Good Luck!




His sons look just like him. This one is (Master Kush Skunk) X (G13 X Aghan Skunk). I will guess big size and yield is a dominant gene passed on?




Mr. Fugly's daughters are all Amazonians. All have different Moms but Mr. Fugly as Dad!




To keep Mr. Fugly's daughters in line I start them at least at month later, top them at 3-4th node then LST until they finish growing. Here, a well behaved Mr. Fugly daughter, Baby Fugly(G13 X Afghan Skunk F2)




Another well behaved Mr. Fugly daughter, after starting late and much LST - Star Dawg X G13xAfghan Skunk

Lemon Haze Autoflower X G13xAfghan Skunk F1 male mating with 2 Lemon Haze Autoflower X G13xAfghan Skunk F1 females. Made about 1,500 F2 seeds.




Got to show these to eazynz!

Mr. Nice Seeds

Early Queen male




Soon he exploded like the volcanic eruption at Mt St. Helens. Coincidentally, I was camping a few hundred miles east of it, in the back country of the Gallatin Mt. range in Montana that morning. Got out of the tent and it was very dark for daytime. For a second we thought it snowed, it does all year up there. But it was grey, a very fine powdery grey. A couple inches! WTF? It's 1980 - no cell phone or internet. What was going on? Nuclear fallout?




A little messy now but an after sex cigarette and a quick shower and she'll look like a 'Queen' again.




Exactly 28 days later. I see a seed.

Early Queen.




Afghan Haze #3. More seeds getting ready to drop.




Afghan Haze #3 - Afghan Haze and Early Queen, good building blocks. Was hoping for a Afghan Haze male but......will get one this year!

All in a day's work for Early Queen male.



Am I the only one getting males?
I know I better get a dang Afghan Haze male this year! The more, the merrier!

I love my males @longball. Key ingredient once you see what they bring a combination.
I keep an old mould proof Kush just for the dads His off spring are always more potent than his sisters.
I posted my NH male on my grow thread, he went across some lovely ladies.
My last one still doing his thing, IBL Burmese. Due to prolonged wet weather and congestion in my male room, he missed his chance with my main females. I stuck two of my personal hybrids under him for a fortnight with success. Currently he’s still producing magic dust. In the first pic you can see an Original haze intermingled and in the second picture an A5haze. If it doesn’t work I’ll nurture these two through to next season.

That's quite awesome, @Wobby!

In each of the photos below, you can see a large bumble bee mining for ... but you can't see it unless you zoom in to the max :




This is a clone of the original seed plant (as is its sister). It was topped twice over the winter, and fed minimally due to the light wattage it was receiving, the pot size and a desire to keep it small.

Cheers! - FF

Very nice male FF!
I like the structure of him and he looks to be a nice mix of both parents.
How does he smell? I think I see resin on him also?

Hey, @Swifty, thanks for your comment and observation on his structure. I like it as well, but I'm a bit concerned about his smell. He doesn't have any smell that I can detect, at this stage, unfortunately, but the female definitely has an earthy, sweet onion smell to her.

I still have 25 MNS G13×Haze seeds (or more) to sift through, for a better version of him; and all the seeds created from this run. I'm sure there's another one like him, in there somewhere, with a far better terp expression; but it could just be that I haven't properly dialed in my grow method to coax it out of him. It definitely takes some sifting to find the best expressions, and if time permits, I'll keep looking for those.

I'm quite impressed with the structure of Male #1, which leans more toward the indica side. I plan to keep him for awhile, to see what kind of offspring he produces; and I'll be hunting for another version of Female #4, from the first run. After growing the girls over the winter, I'm more impressed with Female #1 than #2, in terms of overall structure and ease of growth; but as for the green phenoes, my current preference is for No.4, the Green Giant.

At this early stage, though, Male No.1 looks like it could be the male version of Female #4; which is what I desire, for out-crossing. Here's a photo of him, after 3 toppings over the winter:



Not the greatest photo, I admit, but it's raining like hell here today, all day, so an outdoor photo isn't in the cards for today; but at least this low quality photo gives some idea of its structure, after a few toppings. If all goes well, I'll pollinate Female #1 with him, which I failed to do in my first run, before I retire her, in my search for Female #4.

Fortunately I have a good hundred seeds from Female #4, made with Male #1 pollen; so I'll be working through those, if time permits. The way the world's been going, though, it's difficult for me to see clearly what the future will bring, in terms of my ability to continue this cool hobby, unless I can really nail down the KNF and JADAM protocols.

Cheers, brother! FF

Sorry, I forgot to answer your question, @Swifty, about the resin. No, there isn't any resin on him that I noticed; but there's some visible white pollen in a couple of those photos, freshly dropped, thanks to the large bee that was working it over, while I was there to take a few shots. Perhaps it was that which caught your eye.
