Think of the shedding, tho! LolWe were looking at Czechoslovakian shepherd and they are still on the list. I love German shepherds especially the ones with longer hair like a winter coat.
What a good looking dog. :)@MushinNoShin heees my German Rottweiler/ St.Bernard

I'm gonna be spraying my Killer Queen with GA3 in a few days, if you want some of thebwztra pollen to play with let me know. I will have too much and it will be femm pollen. That could be good or bad for what you might be doing.Well im running tests with the pollen from the tall quick/ sativa looking pheno and the short smelly pheno. taking the time is the best way its just hard to do with limited numbers here in michigan. So if i can find any reason to cull a seedling it means i can start another. i probably miss some interesting off the wall flavors, but its gotta be strong to stay.
Lol! Love it. Team Big Dogs!@MushinNoShin heees my German Rottweiler/ St.Bernard

I have so much bud and no way to get rid of it. I end up giving half of it away. Most is top shelf but I don't have cool names to call it other then 3-#15 or 3-#7 and on and on. I am not good at thrusting my ego into a name and to explain the lineage would be blah X blah to the power of 15. I wish people would believe me that it's damn amazing. I guess eventually I'm going to get laboratory tested to do anything at all.I have this theory; we are all growers just killing time inbetween harvests. Both figuratively and literally, lol.
It was so much easier 15 years ago. You give someone a sample and if they liked it, they came back and that is how you started relationships. They would tell their friends and after a little bit you could make enough to live off comfortably. I love cannabis but the "lifestyles" have changed and I'm too old to be out doing things that are meant for people in their 20's. It was easier when you were on the hunt to meet new girls and things a like but I'm now married, 43 and dont have the capital to compete. I will always give a lot of it away because its one of the best things you can do for someone sick or terminal and its my way of giving back but I am just making enough to cover my costs not including the time and work that foes into itall. I'm feeling like I'm swimming and about to slip below the water.Naming and write-ups are one of my least favorite things to do. I usually just ask friends to do it for me.
also testing can be very helpful to make sure your improving in the areas youd like with each new generation.
Need to start or join a growers co-op or union to give better odds for good growers and breeders who don't make (much) money doing what we love.I have so much bud and no way to get rid of it.

It's been a long time brother. But, I'm pretty sure we've had the fortunate opportunity to test a couple yours.wow... ok... I'll bite.
1. Intent.
what are you looking for to add to your female? need to tighten nodes? wanna stretch an indica leaning hybrid? looking to quicken up a late bloomer with a quick to flower strain? looking for a specific aroma or flavor? what the hell are you doing?
this is a subjective portion that you must decide... what traits do you want in your intended cross?
2. Traits.
what I look at is:
Resin production... the quickness, the amount and location.
Aroma... many good males have a distinct smell.
Quickness to flower... subjective trait based off my intent.
Internode spacing... subjective based off intent, but generally shorter is better.
Structure... subjective. the plants general structure, is it leaning to sativa or indica?
Resistance to hermaphrodism - see #3
Vigor and fitness - see #3
3. Stress testing.
methods used include:
heat and cold, overwatering, underwatering, rootbinding, rootball pruning, topping or supercropping in flower.
In stress testing you're looking to weed out males that are likely to produce intersex traits or poor vigor... the basic idea is to present the worst possible conditions and look for hairs that pop, how easily, how quickly and how many. Then consider the plants quickness to recover throughout those tests to gauge its general vigor.
A mouse is not an "elephant" solely because it has characteristics that are common to known elephants: a tail, gray skin, larger ears and four legs... there is also an artistic aspect to the science...
