In this video I talk about some characteristics to look for when selecting a male cannabis plant for breeding. If you enjoyed this video please click that thumbs up …
I think the first one to show sex would influence faster flowering. Am I wrong?If you were breeding a male from Flash auto, one of the only regular auto seeds purveyors, fast flowering is good.
You’re supposed to collect multiple pollen from all plants for the genetic diversity and use them on your females and keep the females that don’t herm those seeds will have large diverse phenotypes and can choose your characteristics
Hso (humboldt seed organization ) is based out of Spain hense why I shy away from there seeds . Nat from humboldt seed company is the man and I Love his work
Use the one with the best smelling stem, if 2 or more smell the same use the one with tightest node spacing. This hasn't done me wrong. Love the vids keep em coming. Cheers from Michigan
I usually choose my males based on their structure, smell and overall health. I like the one you said was the first to show, and would have most likely picked that one, unless another one displayed a better scent. It had a nice uniform indica look to it IMO.
When it comes to choosing a male that is first to sex, that could be environment related, and not related to traits passed on. I base that on my experiences using males more than once and noticing that they flowered faster when it was warmer, and slower when it was colder. Once they do start flowering you can lower the temps to induce any colors the males may carry and pass on.
Could I ask you next video to link the youtubers you've mentioned in the description please? ^^ Btw; I would bas my pick off the rosin,smell and bud density… now I'm not an expert AT ALL, but I would decide it when I decide it xp could be as early or as late I need to determine which is the last survivor… when in doubt, you could cut a few and save a the once that make you doubt,wait a few days, and and look again 🙂 So…. nice video, and as it just finished, looking like you know what your doing…
Also check root stocks when picking a male looks can be deceiving up top u can see a nice structure but when u transplant or pull the plant out the pot you’ll see a poor root system compared to another plant with less size/structure
please test the batch for yourself rum many runs b4 thinking of selling them on new seeds for stability hermis and seed sacs on the funished product is very bad im just sick of fricke hermis
Hey, just wanted to say I really appreciate the breeding videos. Of all the topics in cannabis I feel this is the most underrepresented on youtube. Looking forward to see your success with the project.
Killing off your first to show male is something Ive never heard of. First to show plants are best used if one of the desired traits is to shorten the offsprings flowering time eg: bring an 11 week plant down to a 9 week plant. Quick to flower doesn't necessarily equate with smaller bud size. I've grown Big Bud that finished in 7 weeks and true to its name had the largest yield in the garden even when compared to longer run strains of 9 to 10 weeks. Quick is actually a great pheno depending what you're growing ✌ but what do I know, right?
You kill the first male that flowers, because it's traits are usually pretty dominant. And you don't want that because you prefer your female traits to show in the offspring more than the male traits.
Out of the 3, I preferred the far right one. It was greener than the other 2, and the node spacing I thought was closer. The more nodes the better the success in the wild. Remember these came from mother nature and always the more healthy and more capable of producing offspring are the winners in nature.
I just bread one of my stunted norther lights plants with a male bag seed . I did this just for fun and to have some seeds to practice germinating . $10 a seed to practice on is too much for me so I made my own . My question in how do I know when to harvest the seeds ?
Do a vid on fem seed spray,pollinating then growing said seeds.just curious on results.currently crossed blue dream with pshyco fem can't wait for the outcome.
I thought you would have branching be a trait to look for breeding males with no branches will contribute to having progeny with main colas with not many side branches
One of first grow was a Male I finished him out until the sacks just busted and turned purple too I had like 5 colas. At least 12inch branches I still smoked it. It wasn't that good though has a weird flavor
HI ,Do you think it is better to pollinate a female coming from a regular seed or a feminized one, in terms of genetics it is purer than a regular or a feminized one?

The first to show was a nice plant, and a great trait to have in the genetics! Saves time when you grow crops from seeds!
How do you actually plant the seeds tho do you just get a seed from one strain then a different seed from another or what do you do?
Why did you take out the one with fast flowering?
good video where you getting your males from ? what genetics are your males?

Nat Pennington is from humboldt seed company not Humboldt seed organization . Two completely different seed companies buddy

The more lemon one is the king crop there as its more of fruit of the female i think i would go for fruity females not piney females lol
Hey, good video . Good info.
Im new at all this hope you pick the best . I actually think the first one and the far right one looks better haha ✌🏼

Your opinion on my set up please. I’m going with a Mars hydro 2x2x5 with a Mars hydro ts 1000w led . Will this produce enough light I’ll need ???

What pots are better to grow in 3 or 5 gal… fabric or plastic..

Another good video man. You make good content.
Very interesting. Wish your videos were longer, but keep up the good work man
Nice damn studs bro!
This is super interesting to me. It will be very interesting to see what you come up with.
I just found a male plant. Im so bummed out. It was starting to flower and the smell was awesome. 😭😭😭I dont want to kill it. Help😭😭😭😭
Sub cool is more bro (science) and opionon than facts
Back left corner will be the winner

Look for a Male that has frost and a nice smell cheers

Awesome man! The Brisk Valley i have has both citrus and pine smells. Keep up the great work!!! Excited for this pheno hunt!

I'm not understanding why you kill the first to flower. I would think that is a good trait and honestly that plant looks the best.
