I could go on and tell you why the 8% they found in the hop study are bonkers and totally and utterly wrong.
But it’s enough off topic, hit me up via dm if you wanna know more 
Dense reading so far

Agree.
I always start my selection and culling at this age. Often I have either done heavy research of the line or have grown them, or their parents before.
Some might call me a fool, that I might throw away a keeper. But I sow plants with a set goal and if I don’t find anything that furfil that goal, they are out… I’m not interested in random pheno hunting, I’m interested to materialise my idea or smoke something that fulfil the idea of what I want to have.

Neat point of view @LonelyOC. That makes sense especially if you have prior knowledge of the family tree. Any tips for going into something new you haven’t seen up close or in pictures?

In that case I have to grow them and smoke them. Usually, if it’s not in my taste. I give the buds to a friend.
So, let’s say I’m looking for a kick ass blueberry that is leaning towards sativa. First off, why bother with the obvious BLD, they are culled first and through the plants life I cull for what I’m not looking for, no matter the stage. Not having a distinct blueberry terp, weak roots or less vigorous individuals.
My main thing I cull for is root growth the week before I switch to flower. Killing everything that have been falling behind the average. I learned this from an old school botany teacher that had many years of experience with breeding plants before DNA tech. He preached “Starka rötter ger starka grödor, starka grödor har starka rötter.”, translated to English, “Strong roots give strong plant, strong plants have strong roots.” Every single time we would show him specimens that we liked, his first question where always “How’s the roots?”. If you haven’t checked the roots and compared it to the archives of being exceptional and of the correct root phenotype, he wouldn’t give you more time to discuss with him. I can tell you, pretty much all the students hated him, but I loved to learn from him. His approach to biology was fascinating and I couldn’t let the opportunity slide because he was a bit abrasive to some.
Only exception I can think of is my cross Erdawg(Erdpurt x C4DDD), that produced so pinesole terpy buds dried that I felt physically nauseous from the stench. Couldn’t even have them sit in a masor jar in the same room as me because I started to smell it. Did a test and later a smoke report, the rest I gave away. I did continue to use this plant in breeding, mainly because I made the cross myself and I never had such pinesole terps before.

This is the precursor to sour diesel, no? How can I get beans or clones?
No, not to the best of my knowledge. It could be a parental link to OG Kush and Triangle kush.

One can probably get similar, if not, better results by crossing Sensi’s Early Pearl (IBL) to MrNice (NL#5xSkunk#1) (IBL). Damn! That 
sounds like 
waiting to happen.

Have you tried Early Queen? It’s Mr.Nice Silver Pearl.

Sounds like a tough but good teacher. At least he was so right to put the focus on roots, it’s often so much overlooked at. Good tips up there thanks.
Keep us posted @Rocket!

No, not yet.
I thought this was the case a little while ago, but after much research, I believe Early Queen is either a Silver Pearl that’s been inbred towards Early Pearl, or is an Early Pearl IBL. It looks like Early Pearl to me.
