Not to call BS on anyone here, but do male plants actually produce trichomes? I only ask because I recently flowered out a male, and saw nothing but pollen... No smell but chlorophyll either for that matter... Anyone have some pics of trich heads on male plants so I know what to look for?

//Simple. Test the male for potency, like at a lab

Some males are frosty . for example obsoul33t found a plant that had trichs AS A SEEDLING that turned out to be a male . the male spawned a whole line of plants called alien tech (i think that's right . If wrong please correct me) and a whole load of drama started from this male . But as you said all you saw was pollen on your male that's why frosty males are desirable.

The story I read somewhere was that the Alien Tech was brought home from a solider during his tour in Afghanistan or something rather. I think they said it was a hp. Love the colorful stories behind all the different cuts :)

That's true (soldier)...it's a landrace strain.

Maybe you can reverse a male and use that as an indicator? Just a thought, might work. I've never reversed a male before, but if it gave calyxes, it might give you an idea as to what traits he may potentially pass to his daughters?

This thread sounded like fun, thought I would play along too.

I have 3 different strains of males, multiples of each, so I figured since I already know which ones I'm keeping.

I thought you guys could see which ones you'd pick, I can fill you in on everything about these fellers as we go but first a group shot of everyone, categorized of course.

It would depend on what traits you're selecting for and even then, might not get what you expect, but might get something better than you were expecting too.

What traits are you after and what female will you be taking the pollen to?

Maybe try picking 2 you like and hitting one female with both their pollen, seems popular these days.

Smoke the male.
If he get you high and tastes good then you're on to something
Of course sometimes that means nothing, could be covered in trichs and stone you out but then you find out its a recessive trait.

Progeny testing

Grow the male to full maturity, dry/cure then remove pollen sacs and then run triched trim through bubble bags then smoke or cook with said concentrate. Of course testing progeny is number 1.

yeah, you want to be smoking pollen
grow tips or if you can catch the male "buds" soon enough I've smoked those

I had a male NL once that put two of us down for the count
There is at least 1 person here that can vouch for what I smoke so.....

Sam Skunkman is always talking about his method of reversing males and smoking them.... doesn't make any sense to me when you can smoke on a female's flowers all day and still not know what she'll pass on to her babies! Now to repeat what others have said "grow the progeny out!" lol
