Tahoe Alien

BirdDog1 · Oct 17, 2012

It depends on the club. I need to vend to keep the lights on. Words like "poison" "death" "crack" turn off a certain demographic of members, mainly woman. They simply won't try it, and that's a shame because it kicks ass. No contradiction, just a solid strain that some don't like the name at this point. I personally don't care, but would care if I was to open an up-scale facility. I would rather get "Crack" out of the name for broader marketability come hybrid time. Just some stuff that I pay attention to after being in the Bar business for years. Not personal at all Sos! Good question.

I once offered a female friend some green crack and she responded with revulsion.

Ok folks, male selection time! On the Tahoe Alien side it was a clear and easy choice, there were only two. Here's the breeder:

This guy is a Scroggers dream! He has hundreds of budsites, developed 10+ tops with one FIM, reeks to high heaven, is strong/balanced and has good size. I'm very happy with this guy, he is the best looking guy even over all of the ARC males. I wish the ARC choice was this easy!

OK, now the hard part. I need your help with this pick. I have narrowed it down to 3, they are in order from smallest to biggest, here we go:

#3:

#3 made the finals even though he is significantly smaller than the other two because he has the most branching. See the third pic compared to the others. I am not sure of the value compared to size but this will have the most budsites.

#8:

And last, #6

Group shot. In order from left to right (#3, #8, #6)

Hmmm, this pic brings perspective. I'm going to throw out the middle #8. Let's talk about #3 and #6. There is a nice contrast between the two. Basicly, the smaller #3 has more budsites but they may bee too crowded in the middle. #6 is big and strong but not lanky. Tighter node spacing also goes to #3.

I threw out the two smallest, and the tallest ARC males. With the keepers I rubbed the stems and they all smell the same. I need to know how important all those small budsites are on #3. If they are a clear indicator of a winner than #3 is it.

I will be moving these outside today and will keep them all until Friday. I'll update if looks/smells change. Thanks for your help with this, I am just not experienced enough to pick a clear winner.

Whats poppin BD, them males all look respectable bro. Unfortunately i dont know shit about male selections, and ill be askin for help with my FPOG males due to that. Goin by ur post up above, i think #3 would get the call for me. close nodes all the way bro. But like i said, i dont know squat so take with a grain of salt mang

Peace

You are just going to collect pollen correct if that is the case I would go with #8 as he is a strong fellow and seems to lean more towards the Tahoe Alien side and you will collect enough pollen from either of the three. So in that case I would take the strongest male not based off of bud sites but plant structure. By no means am I a breeder though have only pollen chucked once. I would shoot that picture to Alien and get the opinion of the creator himself - There is a picture of a ARC male in my thread(that you have yet to visit...lol) and Alien stated it was a keeper and it seems similar to number 8 .......so my vote is # 8 ......peace soser

You got it! I already culled the other Tahoe Alien male. He was tall/lanky with crazy wide node spacing. He began to collapse in veg so he got the boot. Here are the ARCs:

Group shot of all the males from smallest to biggest:

#2 which has the most purple on the leaves but is the shortest (far left):

#13 (second from the left):

#7 the overall biggest, second from the right:

The monster on the far right is the keeper Tahoe Alien.

Hey Sos, #8 is my pick at the moment also!

BirdDog1 · Oct 18, 2012

Wait...no it's #6. #8 looks just like #6 but smaller.

on further review it is number 6 the one to the far right on the group shot , I must of read it incorrectly bro..... my bad #6 second vote ....

I'm afraid I have to interupt the Alien stud male conversation temporarily, and instead show some bud porn! The Green Crack is coming down, I snapped a couple pics while the sun was still out. I'll post more after the harvest is done....

This stuff is sticky! We will be tokin some giant balls of sissor hash tonight!
