Another stand out that I HAVE to mention is a cross between Chem D x i95 (aka Chem de la Chem). There was pissing and moaning on IG from JJ, which ironically lead me to the breeder - Matt Ross. I acquired both the F1 and F2 of strain, and found really outstanding specimens from both lines. The F2 seems to favor the Chem D, but lacks a bit of the vigor of the F1. The flowers are fucking top notch and great yields, but it requires heavy support with the weak stems. This strain is SCREAMING for another cross with top gear. I have males and females from F1 and F2.

Ha ha. It ain't that kinda party, not that there's anything wrong with that... The ladies are in the other room patiently waiting. Here is an example of what the boys are going to knock up. DVG Foul Mouth:

really impressed ... cool thread ...did you document the last 18 months? ... i have a lot of respect for seed makers & U sound like you're going all out ... i did a seed run last winter , but nowhere near your scale... did U choose your males solely on the basis of the quality of their sisters? , what was your criteria?

Very cool. Keeping an eye on this. Wish more threads popped up showcasing the "villian" of the grow room. Males dont get enough love.

I documented a decent amount of my early work with Ace sativas, but it became too much of a hassle. This will be the second time that I have made seeds in bulk, but it has been 7 years or so. First was an awesome experience, but that was with a single male (BOG Sour Lifesaver), and this a whole different level of precision.

I would certainly say that I based a decent amount of my selections on female traits, but not always. I have a Thug Pug Cactus Breath male that was the stand out of the liter. The two females were nice, but just ok, as they lacked the tall lanky nature of the 30%+ mother. So, I kept the male and not the females, and it is looking awesome with the crazy desert cactus branching.

Another good example is the DB Watermelon Zum Zum. Every female was very good, but just not quite keeper worthy (lower yielding). However, the terp profile, branching, thin leaves lead me to keep and flower 3 males from this strain. You just know that it is capable of something special, but I am just not sure which one. Two are looking pretty close with one showing quite different traits. The reason males are hard is that you have to grow out the progeny to see the results.

Long story short is that I had no set criteria for the males. Smell, health, vigor, response to topping, root growth all played a part. If I found a SINGLE nanner on a female, clone was immediately killed - no ifs ands or buts. Males were often culled from any strain that was not above average.

For real. With the Fem craze (of which I have partaken), males are just an afterthought. The mail-in kits to identify males early (so that they can be killed) makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. However, in reality most people just want killer ladies that make awesome flowers, and I certainly don't blame them.

I pride myself in being able to pre-sex reliably, but I will say that Mendo Breath dom, besides taking a very long time to show sex, are just plain mutants. During this whole process, I only had one male make it briefly in the flower room, and that Peanut Butter Breath was a FREAK! The breath stuff is harder to work with, especially if topping, but it is simply the most dense, frostiest, AAA+ smoke around...

So it's a snake pit of a sausage party?

Each female will have 10-16 tops (or potential for F2s or crosses).

So, less of an orgy (pollen chuck) and more of a really fucking big IVF program. He he. I know that I will have a bit of pollen drift, but if I can get ~80-90% accuracy than I will be super happy. I really don't mind if a happy accident creeps in.

Solid plan.

Wasn't trying to be negative with the orgy comment. It's just you have a lot of male and female plants, hence orgy. Nice plan to keep everything tight.

You will have enough seed to last a lifetime! Awesome project! Best vibes!
