So my Cinderella man and Madmartigan lines go back to 2017 from my first breeding project. I grew out some females of joeys weed c99 and loved the
terpenes coming off then but as far as looks and bag appeal no one is would have wanted them.
From there I I popped the rest of my c99 seeds and found one male and pollinated a few of my favorite elites.
One of the elites I used Indiana bubblegum and when I got into those seeds I found a big time bubblegum leaning male which is exactly what I wanted. C99 is very dominant in crosses so to find the bg male I knew it was right.
I used that male to pollinate lemon tree which made Cinderella man and purple punch to make madmartigan.
With the Cinderella man seeds there was a lot of crap in there 8 shitty phenos and 1 short stacked very terpy female and a male that grew exactly like it.
When I tested the male with papaya cake I confirmed I was finding phenos like my Cinderella man female.
Same thing happened with my madmartigan but I only had 5 seeds and three were crappy but I had 1 female (my keeper) and one male once again growing exactly like the female I had. And after growing out the okie x Madmartigan I found grape phenos, clean grape, pineapple phenos, bubblegum phenos. You can tell they are sisters but each a little different.
From the start of the c99 each outcrossing has gotten better and better.
Some of itās the luck of the draw, helps to have elite female recipients too. But itās also a lot of work and can get expensive. I feel my eye after 22 years of growing I can spit out what Iām looking for so experience helps too. The more you do it like most things the better you get at it.
My triangle grape cake male was another I saw and said have to save it and have already had positive feedback from those crosses so in doing more.
