Leaves look pretty shiny otherwise. Those lowers might not be getting enough light!

Well i decided to keep the legion sour ogee males for now…
Im gonna do my homework on how to collect, store, and dust single branches.

I think I read that people get the pollen in a paper bag from the male and then tape the bag over one of the branches of the female. Spray water to immobilize the pollen.

Thanks joe! It seems like there is quite a few ways. The method that I found that I think sounds easy is to put a bag over the entire plant and allow one branch to hang out for a couple hours and then rinse, but I’m still doing my research so I’ll post the final result once I get it down

By the way, if you ever see some random ass words or some shit that don’t make sense it’s probably cause I’m using voice text.

Okay so pollinating a single branch or two is super easy! Well in theory cause i never tried yet… im actually very surprised i never looked into this.
My plan is to buy a small 2x2 or rig up a closet and flower this male legion sour ogee out asap while the female is still vegging. I will then collect as much as i feel necessary to make some legion sour ogee f2 and maybe share the rest with friends here.
Hoping i can get a few more beans to find females in the future. Sour and og are right up my alley and even tho i dont know anything about legion sour ogee, it is going to make a great learning experience and im hyped to gain the know how

Hey yo! I only popped two beans and both were males on my end. @JAWS they must’ve been sent to glg at some point. They came in with the lost skunk x UK cheese freebies. Pretty sure I selected them as an option back then. Would’ve been last summer I think. I’m pumped on the cross though and can’t wait to see your female

Yea man i want to use the males to teach myself some breeding techniques just incase i find something i want to repro in the future.
1 female out of the 5 beans dang i guess fate decided im learning some repro skills lol.

Anybody know if i use 2 males to pollinate 1 female if that will make the beans created more likly to be males?

You would have to reverse the males, and pollinate the males to get only males. They are XY chromosome like human beings, that’s of course why you can get the sex tested in a lab.

Is there any real difference?
I imagine it would add 1/3 more genetic diversity(if thats how it works). But i know nothing at all about breeding.
I never seen anybody else use more males than females when breeding. Is there a reason more females to males seems to be preferred when doing open pollinations? The easy answer would obviously be more females = more seeds

Hmmm makes sense. I wish the testing was a bit cheaper, id use it full time if it was.
I remember you saying you may have devised a method of determining sex of seedling with a microscope? Did you find any hard evidence on that cause i have a digital microscope i could use if so.

I can usually sex them on the 4-7th node. Sometimes though they can look a little strange, because I use the leaf bract to signal male. On occasion a female can push out a leaf bract that later grows inflorescence. Those are the ones that usually get me. Had it happen a couple of times, but if I’m ever questioning it, I keep the plant around.

Thats the bract?
Holy shittt i way over shot my 2 week solo cup routine. 22 days in them. Transplant tomorrow for sure!
@JoeCrowe it seems to be getting worse. Hit with mircos?
The other 2 have the light green but no spots
All 3 kitchen sink fems. 3 different structures by the looks of it. Things still are looking good over all but if i ignore whatever signs they are showing i will be back in miserable plant town, population me.
