I received my Bubba Kush as a clone which was originally grown from bagseed. The Bubba Kush was my best clone at the time. I originally tested three females. One was very Indica one was very sativa and one was in between. I chose an Indica male and made a few crosses with that and went from there. Basically I spent the last few years following the more Indica side of the cross. Now I'm finally getting to trying a few females off of my original sativa leaning mother.
The main path I followed was pollinating the Bubba Kush with the Eight Miles High I picked an Indica male and cross that to my OG 18 clone. I took a male from that and crossed it to my White Fire OG female. From that I got a male that is just incredible. I made about a dozen crosses without ever starting any of them before discarding the male but I've checked out about 6 different crosses I made with him so far and they all end up super Frosty with the variety of different plant structures to choose from and he tends to let the female show through. I just did a selection from a cross that was Bubba Kush dominant and finally pulled together all my breeding goals. It's just a really vigorous easy to grow super Frosty high-yielding plant |

Oh and it's a lot for me to try and type but DJ Short spoke about why you don't want to pick a short flowering male. I think it was in his book. His reasoning basically comes down to how bad you can screw up the genetics by using one bad male or female. You can completely screw up a line by doing two consecutive Generations with bad genetics. I think the odds of finding a shorter flowering plant that has Superior flowers is unlikely. So I think that makes it more likely that the quick flowering male wouldn't have the best genetics but mainly What DJ was saying in my opinion was that you wouldn't want to solely look at flowering time you'd want to look at the structure and health and knowing DJ about a hundred thousand other criteria. I tried to pick males that Branch how I want and look really healthy. If I really care I choose two or three males based on that criteria when they are in veg and then flower them and compare the flowers.
Another note. I originally selected my males because they were compact and I thought that was best. It seem to get out of hand pretty quickly where I had very Indica representations with almost no node spacing and really thick stems. That might sound desirable but that plant has to be grown vegetatively for so fucking long that it's definitely not ideal for most situations. |
