I’m going to be testing some 10 year old frozen pollen next to see if it will work. Fingers crossed… Picking the best males involved many things. I personally like to do this over a long Period of time. First I like to keep seed plants in tiny 9 ounce keg cups . Run them in veg very late to see if they start to flower in veg from the small pots. If they do, usually I won’t use it. But it also depends on the type it is. Some have more auto tendencies in their genes. Also some are acclimated more to certain climates or grow styles. Like landraces for instance. If it’s one of these I’ll give it a second chance and grow it in a regular pot. Fluctuate veg times to see if it auto flowers. Also see how well it takes drought and over water. Then when it comes to flowering, I’ll do all the same stuff but do heavy nutrients and no nutrients alike, also over and under water, light intensities, time fluctuations, all types of pruning and cropping/and even topping right before flower and during flower (usually topping happens in the second test run as I like to see how it fairs untopped first ). I’ll run them very deep in flower. Basically try to stress them out as hard as I can to see if they can handle it without throwing herms or dropping leaves or being very finicky. I call it stress testing in the tent of torture. Usually only the most smelly, vigorous males make it to-this test. Also resinous males can be great to look for but not all males breed the same so it all matters how it breeds. This is why resinous males aren’t a big factor in my personal selection process but it definitely helps. Smell and stability is a big thing for me. Usually I can just tell how well a male is gonna be by just looking at it . It’s sort of like having an eye for it and after 25 years experience , you tend to know what to look for. The best way is just to test the male with a few well known females to make some out crossings, then run the progeny to see what said male has to offer. It’s best to use females your familiar with in other crossings, for instance, what they pass over when out crossed. This way you can better judge what the male has passed on. All this is very time consuming so this is why it is important to have many places to do this all at one time. You can’t do all this in one room. The only things that can really happen in one room is pollen chucking mostly. If you had to chose one strain (any strain ever) to work with or grow what would it be? PEEZY: One would probably be something like a northern lights #5 x Neville’s haze (nl5haze). Or straight old school northern lights, a skunk 1 or old Hindu/afghani/Thai. etc etc. I love the old stuff. Those genetics have changed the game years back and are in so many of today’s cultivars. They are basically referred to as building blocks of today. It’s very hard to honestly say what one plant I would like. I adore them all so much. Barnyard Animals Kookiez 91 I don’t know what I’d do with myself if I only had to pick just one. There is some stuff from our genetics, like in our Katsunana Cultivar, East Coast Sour Dawgz or our Mass Chem Skunk among many others of that I could see myself choosing. This question has really got me stumped to be honest. Haha. J28 One of DWO’s Breeding Males Kookie MOB
Featured Article Branded Animal Fire What are the hardest strains to work with in your opinion? PEEZY: Old Hazes or landrace Thai’s, any long flowering Sativa and or old Sativa landraces are the hardest to grow in my opinion. Now that there is the availability to have strains tested for aspects such as THC, CBD, THCA (to name a few) percentages, terpene profiles, has that become part of your regime for breeding selection? PEEZY: No. We breed the old school way. The way our fore fathers have been doing it for centuries. Selective breeding and testing the long way. The only way I’d see myself using labs for breeding would be to make high CBD strains, or specific cannabinoid profile strains for a patient or someone who requests such a thing… Although it is cool to know your plants potential, I’ve just always found it to be sort of cheating in breeding sense. There’s no skill, experience, or even work involved in lab test breeding. It also sort of takes the spiritual connection and passion it takes to have “the eye for it “ out of it as well. Lab test breeding is not something I’d never do. I’m open to try anything. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll give it a whirl. Tell us about your garden environments and techniques. i.e. Lighting, temperatures, soil or hydro. organic or synthetic nutrients/technique or No-till living soil. PEEZY: Well, my garden isn’t really a garden per-say. It’s all for breeding for us here mainly so Cherry Pup Pie Mother it is made up of a many gardens - small chambers and tents all with their own micro climate for all the different projects we are constantly working on. Line breeding isn’t your typical clone only pollen chucking one and done type of deal. No sir. Real indoor breeding and selecting involves many many different environments all going on at the same time in my opinion. managing this gets very tiring and tough at times. If I didn’t keep notes I would probably forget what half of the projects are doing as there’s so much going on at once to deal with. I’m sort of an OCD perfectionist so it’s hard to find good help who will actually understand how I want things and do things. It’s mostly taken care of by myself. I love led lighting, I think that’s the future as its power consumption and heat output are very minimal compared to other methods like hid lights. We only use living organic methods so all natural and organic ingredients in our own soil mixes, we use top dressings or sometimes super soils style or spikes or teas, it really is the bene- Dirty Water Organic Stardawg Cut J29
