    I'm in the early flower stages of my first breeding attempt. I'm pretty stoked because i'll have a lot beans to work with after. I'm having trouble picking a good male though. I narrowed it down to two, and went with the one that had the best structure/growth/roots. I had to majorly trim down the size of both remaining males a few days before flower, which probably stressed them out. I put Male A into 12/12 and kept Male B in 24/0. Had a mishap on day 2 and Male A got damaged by a falling reflector, but has recovered fine since then. It's now day 7 of 12/12 and Male A is not responding to the light nearly as much as all the other plants I have in the flower cab (he's not dying, his leaves just remain pretty still all the time). He is developing some nanners, nothing too major. While Male B under 24/0 is starting to really push out nanners, not even in flowering. Would Male B be a faster finishing male? Both have relatively the same traits at this point. Is it better to go with the one that has the better roots/stem mass or the one that's popping nanners quicker?

     
  2. the one thing i been lookin for is.. trichome production.. in males.. and or.. terpene production.. if the male looks like a female.. smells like a female.. and has balls..  thats the one i try to use.. making sure to take clones.. because when u find that WINNER MALE. or STUD...  its nice to be able to stabalize a strain with a great male!!!.. i just switched to 12/12 in my breeding cab.. using a NYCD x Skunk female with C.Silver.. to use this female as a pollen donor.. to create some fast flowering dense buds x about 20-25 different females.. and some of the females are nycd x skunk so those will be S1s.. then i have a few that are nycd x skunk X og kush x Skunk.. and some nycd x skunk X trainwreck xog kush x skunk.. 
     
    cant wait to see what comes from this..
     
    good luck tho.. finding a STUD is work.. i have 2 decent males i keep around.. but .. i wanted to try this CS before it started to degrade .. after making a DIY generator. i decided to use it instead of tossing it away..  so we shall see how this works.
