So unless I'm crazy I'm sittin on 4 males. So the plan changes for me. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to flower out the best one. Ill keep everyone updated as well as some pics of the males.

How do you know/figure out which is the best one?
I've selected males from veg before, as well as females. I'm usually on point when choosing a female, it ends up being the keeper as hoped. But recently, had to get rid of 2 out of 3 ladies, and chose my "best" one as I usually do (but still flower all phenos). Turns out she wasn't all that lol. Makes me wonder what the other 2 had to offer. I usually flower out all phenos but this time was different. And with males I never flower all males. So makes me wonder if sometimes the "best" male chosen isn't really the best? And that's without even getting in to progeny lol. My bad man just Iree and mind is running wild lol.

Good morning, well these are all good points. I'm no expert as I have only kept 4 males previously. And of the 4 I only kept/used pollen from 1 (valley ghash). So the criteria I use is smell if there is no smell I don't waste time. Also I look at plant structure specific to how I grow. I scrog my plants so I keep males that the branches all come up even with the top of the plant. That's the first criteria when sex is identified. After that I look at the clusters and look for any trichs as that's a good sign. Progeny testing is the only real test as all of the visual traits may not be dominant. I've read as much as possible from Nevil and shanti as well as I've asked mota some specific questions. I am curious about reversing a male to see what It has to offer is cool to me but out of my realm right now due to numbers. I only make seeds so I can preserve the plants I feel are worthy. So I only hit my sour og, blueberry, and I'm gonna hit this Valley G. Well I actually did hit valley g but I don't know if I was to late.

Should mention the one I kept was strong smelling and got dam stinky as I lollipoped it this am. Even made my hands a little sticky. But just cuz I keep it does not mean I have to use it just getting a full look.

Well I'm trying to get some rebels up and running. They're tough nuts to crack I threw 6 in paper towels 3 days ago. 2 germed so far and have been thrown in rw cubes. I think lbl male makes some tough beans. When I started my first valley g seeds 3 days in I started beans of a differen strain cuz i had given up on them. I still have 4 beans of yooper and 4 of rebel so if they don't germ (I think they will) ill start more.
I didn't scuff these but I will next time. I always put them on my tongue for a min first I read years ago that saliva softened the shell. Has worked well

Well I chopped the male. He was ready to drop pollen. No trichs showed up. He was fast flowering but not gettin used. He's in the garbage but it didn't hurt to look

Also I helped a friend get up and running so I started him some seeds. I wouldn't give him anything but commercially available beans so he has 5 Tahoe og to grow. Ill take cuts from any females. Figured what the hell gets me thru my bean stock.
