So I came into a resinous male some 19 years ago and thought it was a Fluke. As I had flowered many non resinous one’s up to this point. In 2017 I came into another one this time a Blueberry resinous male. I went online & searched for blueberry resinous male and DJ Short popped up with some literature on this phenomenon. I took it in stride. I came into my next a year later in a Mimosa breath x Orange apricot Mac resinous male. I had already been breeding the Blueberry one. All it’s offspring had resinous male’s as well. A dominant trait. I had given some beans away and they found a resinous male in it. A Maui Waui x Slurricane 7. I have a special place for these breed’s in my seed catalog. Which isn’t for sale. I breed for myself. In order to gift them to folk I pick out. Since 2016 I gifted beans to over a 1000 strangers. Yep even these crosses using resinous male’s.
Are you smoking the males?
I remember reading an article in the 90’s about these types of males being left in with the, swaz, schawg, mexi brick weed, back in the 50’s-70’s, there were non resinous ones as well, but they left these in the fields as most of them were producing a mild form of trich’s. I know these were only a 3-6% concentration of thc so very low in the first place. But I remember them talking about how they mixed it all as it didnt matter as the males were producing enough that pulling them would have had a major impact on harvest weight. Can’t remember if it was high times or a grass city forum.
Usually excellent breeding stock.
I’m just now finding my first resinous male. It had trichomes 3 weeks into veg. I could only see it under magnification, but everything else only had white hairs at that point
Ten characters
I’m only seeing heads with no stalks. It seemed like there was more trich than green when I used the magnifier. Sorry I can’t get pictures through it, I only have a small lens. I only saw cloudy on mine all the way through
reading this thread like " he ments SOME" frost but didnt expect that
Yes. Just the same as the ladies
Yes through my vaporbrothers vaporizer.
Same cut. Blueberry. Every cross I made with him has come out with more of these. Resinous male’s. It seems to be a dominant gene.
This was a freebie from a purchase I don’t recall from where. It’s a mimosa breath x orange apricot MAC male.

My Cultivar Selection and Breeding Process
When growing a particular cultivar, I prefer to germinate all seeds I have available at that time. I grow each seedling until the 6th node, applying super-cropping between nodes to encourage strong lateral branching — ideal for taking cuttings after sexing.
At the 6th node, I top each plant and immediately transition them into the flowering stage to determine sex. Once sex is expressed, I return the females to a revegetation phase under 24 hours of light. After reveg is complete and stable, I reduce the lighting to an 18/6 schedule for continued vegetative growth.
Male plants are allowed to continue flowering in isolation, away from the rest of the population, until pollen can be collected. Once sufficient pollen is harvested, it is stored in a freezer, and the male plants are culled.
During sexing, the topped females heal and begin to focus energy into their lateral branches. At this stage, I take clones from the top three nodes (typically six cuttings per plant). Once the clones are rooted, I transplant the original mothers and return them to flower to finish out their lifecycle.
After harvest, my friends and I collectively evaluate the finished product. Based on our observations and feedback, we label the clones either as keepers or culls. The selected keepers are cloned again, and the best-performing phenotypes are brought to my personal breeding garden, where they are matched with stored pollen.
By flowering every single male and female, I’ve discovered some standout genetics — especially resinous males. This process has repeatedly led me to unique and rewarding finds, pushing my breeding work forward with each cycle. 
This year I am growing land race varieties. My intention is to breed resinous male cultivars to them creating F1’s using these resinous Stud’s. Looking to create my own strains from wild original varieties. I have found resinous males to be dominant. In that every cross from using one originally I have seen more in the offspring. This way when back crossing to land races I will find resinous Studs along the way! Happy breeding
