A female pre flower is viable, even in veg, and if pollinated, they will make a seed.
A male pre flower is not viable, yet. A male pre flower is the stamen emerging from the stem. When the stamen becomes mature it will open and the anther will release it’s viable pollen.
Breeding that one to be small and compact? … holey shiite. what genetics are we looking at? It’s a beauty.
I had a plant that did that in flower that surprised me…just exploded with buds everywhere… but on a much smaller scale. heh That’s impressive. It has a cola on all branches. nice work. peace
Thank you for doing this @SCJedi and for those of us in Canada @Shadey
I also reread the thread and damn I forgot it’s tax time again. Looks like I’ll be shopping for my new TurboTax and trying to gather everything together
School me on those sealers man . Your packs look tight brother . I’m still ghetto tech lol … Thank you for sharing and your passion for preservation. Makes me very happy indeed . Blessings and hope you have a happy and prosperous 2020 .
Than you man . I’ve always liked milf’s … Yielded 4 plus with minimal effort . I’ve I done a little selection I’ll do a seed run here . Gonna run some of @SCJedi’s gear and some of my original Hazeman packs to find a stud and bx… A little trick I’ve learned lately is to choose the latest flowering males , the opposite of what I always used to do …
That would make sense early, F1 or F2, when you are hunting for interesting materials. It seems once you are working for stability (homozygousity?) the dominant alleles (presumably early bloomers) would be the ones you want.
Traits of interest in a female plant can be seen and documented throughout its life cycle.
Rates of growth and development, characteristics of its flowers, such as smell/color, size and quantity and trichome/terpene production are all easily documented.
The same cannot be said about males. They are only visual in their expression of growth and development traits… all other traits are hidden in its genetics and are not expressed or not fully expressed enough to use as a breeding guideline.
Typically early flowering males tend to be more dominant. Maybe Darwin was on to something?
Anyway, I separated the males and put them back in once all were busting pollen. This gives the seeds a better chance of having everything spread into them as opposed to just the early dominant males.
