Recess Is Over - Now To Muck Up The Lesson

No I haven't run it.. got them for free, can't see myself getting to them anytime soon.. you'll clone one for me if it's the maddest thing grown :rofl:
 
I grew one, also a freebie, and it looked pretty good. Kind of big buds, dense and smelled like piss. The buds disappeared into a jar somewhere and strangely enough I haven't seen that jar again now that I think about it. I'll have to look around. I got a couple seeds in it- a cross with Critical Cheese.
 
I just found these on the internet.. I've never seen elite plants before and thought others might appreciate also..

I'll set up a thread with copy and pasted breeding tips..


Selecting Males
1. Resin Production and Potency – the quickness, the amount and where it is being produced will all be factors. An eye glass will be the most accurate means to view this trait.
2. Aroma – if there is a distinct aroma or something interesting to the nose.
3. Quickness to flower and release of pollen maturation and speed to reach pollen dispersal.
4. Internode spacing – based on the Fibonacci ratio of 1:1.6, this ratio is used in many applications, one of which is a rating of beauty and another in stability and consistency of some genetic factors in a plants makeup.
5. Leaf structure and Stature – whether it is more leaning to sativa or indica and how the plant grows in visible structure.
6. Resistance to hermaphrodism – no visible signs that the male flower has any naturally occurring female pistilates combined within the male flower.
7. Vigor and fitness – visible factors that show the plant to behave in a healthy normal growth pattern.
8. Depth of coloration – of the plant from lime green to deep dark green (ornamental trait)

The importance of selecting plants for the traits that are useful to the breeder/grower is the main reason genetics have evolved as they have. Male plants of this species need to be carefully selected to avoid a lot of laborious work, which means one will need to do a lot of testing of F1 seed made from a particular male to verify if the sex linked traits are real or not. Males that auto flower irrespective of daylight hours are normally eliminated to insure against hermaphroditism or unwanted male traits. Males that flower too quickly or too tall are also not the best for breeding since they put too much energy into fiber production which is not the trait one is looking for in a medicinal plant. Males that have large hollow main stems are sought out rather than males that are more pith-filled stems - the main reason are that large hollow stemmed males are better THC producers than other plants. Males that produce tight floral clusters rather than airy sparse floral clusters are usually better to breed with. Finally if you rub your fingers against the stem of a developing male and are able to get strong odors or aromas (terpines) you will be advised to use these males as trichrome production and flavor are directly related to plants that produce odors early on. There are several other traits to look for in a male but these are rather advanced and need microscope help which is not really relevant for the hobby grower/breeder.

Awesome. Testing thc is a bit hard but all the rest makes sense. Defiantly more than I considered.
Interesting about the hollow stems vs resin production.

You should smoke your male flowers, that is how to test potency..
 
Chem trails..
 
I do remember a time about 20 yo smoking some male buds and getting fairly obliterated. Was really resinous on the leaves. Was a pretty rough strain we used to call "orange". Grew like shit indoors but outdoors had buds you couldn't budge with a hammer. So many memories

Is that the brand of chemical they using? Sounds like something they'd use.. total coverup, a trail in every bottle..

Serious shit my love is ill from them shitting over us night an day In the UK we have had a petition thats been ongoing for about 4 or more years with 23,000 sigs on it ,, we need to act against these bastards before it really is to late how many folk do you know that ae Super Stressed an in bad heath its thee flippin war machine ,, im not joking my missP has been awful bad ill she was at the docs they havnt a clue But I know of many that have the exac same just it seems to get some worse than others I am going to try post more night pictures LOL if I can get them to come out but in the UK it has stepped up a notch ??

PS wouldnt blame you for remooving this:smokin2::jawdropper:
I hope yer plants are good an green an you have some thing for your bowl sorry for not being around :420:
 
Learn something new everyday. I wonder if the hollow vs. pithy stem thing has hard data behind it, or is anecdotal. Everything else lines up exactly with my observations. I've noticed the stems before, when topping them. Two years ago I pollinated one female with two males. One was hollow, the other pithy. Both were fairly identical otherwise. One of those seeds is what blew up into the outdoor monster I called 'That 70's weed' last year. The other big girl I had besides Tangie.
