I think Iâm too used to hanging out on grow sections of Reddit where everyone is just so damn mean

I find the subreddits akin to my youth spending hours oogling through hightimes center folds which can be great but what a time suck! There can be insightful information to glean, but most often its âhow much will this yield?â âwhats wrong with my 3day old seedling?â sometimes I really wonderâŚ

I mean, if people would search before asking the same questions that get asked every day there wouldnât be as much opportunity to be snarky and mean. Heaven forbid there might actually be some worthwhile posts to engage people.

Nice! Looks very similar to some of my goji nugs I just trimmed up!

I vote bingo pajama or secret chief. Start with the older lines.
All you have to do is not chop down the males. Let the males flower and leave them in the same grow space as the females. The plants will do all the work. You really canât fail letting them pollinate naturally.

Do you look for anything special in the male? Also, I have a half pack of bingo so hopefully I get the female keeper. If not, my buddy is sending me a clone.

Does that effect the potency and yield much?

Of the seeds?

You can make selections with males, or keep all the males and let them all pollinate the females for maximum diversity in your f2 seeds.
Here is what I look for when making male selections:
-
Plentiful pollen production. This is really the most important trait for successful seed making.
-
Dense floral clusters. just like a female, males can be sparse or dense. some males may have a loose open structure, and others may be densely packed clusters of male flowers. Males with dense flower clusters may pass that trait on to their female offspring, and produce plants nice dense buds.
-
Ease of growth, suitability for your grow methods and environment. Plants that are easy to grow and well adapted to your grow style will contribute to offspring that do well in your grow environment.
When making selections, keep an eye out for any negative traits that you donât want to pass on to the next generation. Sexual stability is always important, if you get a hermaphrodite plant, you should make sure to remove it from your grow. This include females with bananas, females with pollen clusters (ie a full on herm with balls), as well as male plants that grow female pistils.
Youâll probably recognize the growth traits that are suited for your grow, and traits that donât work well for you.
Unless you have plants that are unhealthy, unstable, sterile (little or no pollen production), or too finicky for your grow, you donât need to worry too much about your selections.
Once you preserve the line, you can always make selections from your f2 seeds. Youâll be able to maintain diversity, or make specific selections to narrow down the line to the specific phenotypes that you want.

Welcome to the forum chongonthebong. Opinions on this may vary.
I think the potency, resin production, and size of the buds will usually be similar whether the plants are sinsemilla or seeded.
What will change is the quality of the smoke. If the plants are seeded, youâll have to break down the buds and shuck the seeds before you can use the buds. The bud will smoke a little hotter and harsher because of the papery membranes that grow inside the calyxes to protect the seeds. The flavor may be a little different, and the high may be slightly different, but potency will be very similar.
Seeded bud is still potent. It hits well in a vaporizer, and makes excellent hash. When I have seeded flowers, I like to shuck my seeds and then process the bud into hash.

Well said. Also if you are selective with the male(s) and have the ability to move plants then you could always flower the males elsewhere, collect the pollen on a piece of paper or wax paper and apply with a paintbrush to select lower flowers. After a few hours spray the female down with water to deactivate any lingering pollen and move back into flowering area. This will give you relatively unseeded buds other than what you intentionally pollinated.

DJ Short is famous for saying he prefers seeded smoke, saying that he believes there are nuances developed in the taste and effect from the plant being able to complete its life cycle that you donât get in sensi buds. I much prefer seedless smoke myself though sorry DJ

I think there is something to that, ALL the legends were seeded. Thai, Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, Highland Oaxacan, Columbian. There seemed to be a more visual thing then and audio trix.

in my experience, some strains do seem to age (cure?) better when seeded than others; perhaps not true for all strains, but coincidentally a bag of blueberry diesel (received as cut, allegedly sour d x dj short bb) that was seeded, smoked fantastically after a year or so, whereas sans semilla buds would dry out and lose flavor and structure (turn to dust easier) after sitting for the same amount of time.

Pestilence x Snow Lotus, around 63 days of flower although my grow room doesnât have temperature/humidity control so the lows in the room have been high 50âs F in the morning recently and likely lower earlier on, my flower times are usually longer compared to average.
A lot of cloudy trichomes throughout but no amber yet. Really nice secondary flower clusters throughout the plants, dense, sticky, trichome covered nugs . Mostly an overall earthy sweetness aroma going on. Not as loud as the SSDDâs I grew last round but still interesting nonetheless.
One of the plants doesnât look it wants to finish, still sporting full on white pistils and getting fat. Time will tell if I let her finish after all the rest are done as I am itching to start my next round and I donât know how much longer sheâll need.
Have fun growing all!

Those are really nicely grow, a pleasure to look at, thanks for sharing 
I had a run where an Appalachian Thunderfuckâs pistils stayed white. The other ATFâs all turned brown and receded. Judging by trichs, the one with white pistils was done at the same time⌠smoked like it, too.

Bountiful harvests ahead! Got some gnarly eagle claw going I see, currently battling a rising N toxicity myself in a few pots
