First off I hope this does not get moved to journals. This project is only going to last about a month. Over the next couple days. I will be starting to post photos and info as I flower a couple Mr Nice Super Silver Haze males. Well they are not for sure males yet. I am pretty sure and will try and post photos tomorrow as to why I think this. The plants are showing only a tiny nub. 4 other plants are showing hairs so I know they are mature for the strain. They showed sex under 16 hrs light.
I just moved what I think are males to a flower tent under 12 hrs of light. I should know soon. I pretty much love everything about growing. Breeding is only a part of it. I knew years ago I would breed my own strains now I am in my 50's am finally getting a chance to do that. I have dabbled a bit in the last couple years and am happy with the results so far. Mostly all it was practice.
I am close to being where I need to be to really see what kind of strain I can breed. This grow is the last of my random breeding program. Don't laugh it was worked pretty good for me LOL. Either way I am not going to have a ton of info about the plants I am using.
Anyone that has ever seen the price of a pack of Mr. Nice SSH seeds will understand why I feel the need to get everything I can out of these seeds LMAO. Plus it is such a damn good strain the males from it have great potential. Plus the strains I am growing along with the SSH are high quality genetics. With this good of genetics involved I can easily get lucky and find a true winner. I will only be pollinating a single branch of each plant I use. Because of this I can do multiple plants and just keep the outcome of the very best one or one's. I will also be doing at least 3 different strains. This gives me one more chance at being lucky. In the end I don't think any of it will suck.
Because of this my choice of the male plant can make or break the project. I know I have posted pics of males before. I never really went into it to deep. My last project I never posted any pics of the 2 males I worked with lol. This time I figured I would let you all come along for the ride. We will start tomorrow with pictures of what I am working with. I will try and let you guys understand what is going through my mind as they mature. We will look at all the things I know to check about males plants. I am sure we will check a few things suggested from the people here. There is lots of knowledge on this site. I really hope a few home breeders get involved. As the plants mature we will see bud formation and growth traits that will be the keys in my choice of males. There is some really interesting info on males now. I think it is high time we see one of them strut its stuff.
