Ganoderma when selecting males I would try to lock in/focus on the Warlock side. That is going to be simpler then the Chronic side. The trait's I attribute to Warlock would be a short symmetrical male. Low stretch, tight, real tight branching and nodes. The smell would be a warm kind of hmm cinnamon/gingerbread bread smell with funk. Also a male that shows pistils in a low light situation, stress situation.

First of the cuttings have started rooting.

I took some more cuttings off of one of the other females, that is in the same tub as the males.

There is a third male that is on the small/slender side compared to his other two brothers, but his smell is the sweetest out of the other males. It is looking like there are only going to be three males. The two big ones, and the smaller/slender one.

I'm going to change up the game plan on these. I discovered last week while taking cutting, The Double Dutch F2's have spider mites, and due to their size I'll not be able to eliminate them all by the time everything should be ready to harvest. So I'm going to go and flower the males and collect pollen and store it for later, and when the cuttings are ready I'll flower several cuttings of each plant and selectively pollinate them so I know which male fathered which seeds.

The smaller male is small enough that I can remove it from the rest and I can treat it for the mites and relocate it to the other veg area till it gets large enough to have cuttings taken. It's not big enough to take cuttings from it, and if I did flower him out I'd get only a drop of pollen compared to what his two brothers will be putting out.

If I had a larger selection of males, I'd have more to pick from. But I'm going to use all that I have and any traits I'll be picking those out in the F3's.

Target pollinate you're fav. plant/plants in week 3-4. By then you should ha an idea what kind of terps each plant is going to produce. Choose a sidebud starting with your fav. male. 2-3 days later choose another bud far way from the first and pollinate your second bud. And repeat. After each pollinaton blow away any excess pollen from the choosen budsite and put the plant back into your flower room. And revegg your fave male should you find a special one. It's easier to revegg a male then a female plant. What ever you do keep on posting. You're going to have lot's of fun with the F2's.

Really beauty! Congrats.
I follow u

I'm still here watching. Looking good man!

I'll get pictures of of the cuttings soon. Not all have rooted. The cuttings from the two males have all rooted out. The ones that have roots have been started on veg nutrients, and the ones that I'm still waiting on to root out are in the stages of just about to start tossing out some roots to looking like they aren't doing anything yet.

Just added Bloom nutes into the tub with males. As soon as I get the room cleaned up in the next day or two I'll be flipping them. Since it's just going to be a flowering cycle for males I'm thinking about 4 weeks, maybe five at the most. I've seen some males not drop a drop of pollen until week three.

I try to stay away from revegging plants, and only use it as a last resort.

Spraying/misting water onto the buds (after applying pollen) is much more effective at rendering any remaining pollen inactive then just blowing it off the plant.

I've got pictures of the cuttings.

This tub has cuttings from the two males, #5 and a couple cuttings from # 1,2,3,4
The males and the #5 female rooted out faster then the ones that where taken 3-5 days before them.

Some of the cuttings from the F2's. These are the ones that have been the best/fastest rooting out of all of the cuttings.

There are cuttings from the two males, female #5 all rooted faster then any of the other females. There is one #4, #3 and two #1's. These are going to be mover to the larger aeroponic unit to veg for a little longer before they get flipped
