    Make things competitive. Put 100 bag seeds into a pot and let them all germinate. After a week, remove half of the shortest/weakest ones. Keep narrowing it down. The strongest survive. Who’s roots can push the others out of the way…etc. (Not saying it’s the best idea. But it worked for me.)

    I’m trying, soon i will have my own cannabis. 😎😁

    Couldn’t you just take a clone from the female you want to breed and pollinate it instead of wasting a whole plant ?

  4. @troyhayder6986 on April 20, 2025 at 9:18 am

    That’s really easy.. The most unfit to breed male is obviously the breeder…

    How do you spell the name of the spray yo reverse males

  7. @douglasmurphy323 on April 20, 2025 at 9:21 am

    I cross bread female gorilla glue 4 with a male dairy Queen. They both have big thick stocks and a gorilla glue for had huge buds. Just waiting to see what it’s going to turn out like. Oklahoma homegrown looking for fire.

    great video growmie 2021. Free d herb

  9. @michaelschnitzer4054 on April 20, 2025 at 9:22 am

    There is a chemical to reverse a male into female and it will make female flower. It’s like St’s or cs but the opposite I forget what it’s called.

    Why does this man have camel toe

  11. @anthony7788 on April 20, 2025 at 9:26 am

    Or you could just use coliadal silver on select females to induce hermaphrodite expressions in the area you used the silver on. This way you know what both parent plants are capable of. Unless you want to spend years finding every male pheno in combo with female. That could take years. Breeding female to female is much quicker with a much higher success rate finding prize cultivars. All the big guys are doing this and then tissue sampling into 10k plants overnight.

    Hello guys, a friend of mine got 3 seeds of a strain left that does Not exist to sell anymore. Its been from a good breeder but their regular. How can we Save it the best way? Self the better female if 2 will appear? Or should we just cross 2 of those? I guess Not selecting feels like losing quality anyway :/

  13. @vyoufinder on April 20, 2025 at 9:29 am

    When you talk about lab testing, what kind of lab is required or equipment? Do you talk about this anywhere? How expensive are we talking? This sounds like something that could be most useful with landrace strains, which I like what you’re doing with. Your videos really helped me understand in a way I didn’t before by clarifying some things in a cool simple way. Thanks.

    Awesome man thank you for all this stuff. I been spinning my wheels trying to figure out where to start. I’m off to the races now. Be well my friend,

  17. @mikehancho1613 on April 20, 2025 at 9:34 am

    I was getting ready to cross a cherry gar see ya to a lumpys bery pie and then i found out i had tmv or something so i just flowered them out lost both cuts.. starting over

  18. @psgbibi27 on April 20, 2025 at 9:35 am

    You left your zip open in intro

  19. @brandonmonroe7050 on April 20, 2025 at 9:36 am

    Interesting. Do you give a male bloom or veg nutrients during flower?

  20. @MegaBadaboom88 on April 20, 2025 at 9:38 am

    I have a "panjshir kush" male witch had some funky leafes but grew out of it (like a snake tounge)…Would you care about that?
    Stem smell is insane, great strong fruity smell!
    I topoed it late and now this plant has a huge hole in the Stem down into the plant 😮
    But you need a cut if you like to do real breeding so for me hollow stem is not that cool because of high stress training and cloning this is a bad thing or would you disagree with that?
    Growers love 💚

  21. @jaymystery-i3k on April 20, 2025 at 9:38 am

    have you revegged males?

  22. @SoNoFTheMoSt on April 20, 2025 at 9:39 am

    Are you the long lost Tate brother?

  23. @PandaOnSkis on April 20, 2025 at 9:40 am

    ive pheno hunted in 4inch pots, you can cram like 100 in a 5×5

  24. @mrcrunchtime on April 20, 2025 at 9:43 am

    I watch a lot of cannabis educational content, and man, very few bring the know how the way you do. Much respect from arkansas, be on the look out for my variety I’m calling bail money, it’s a cross of scotts og x haze from ag seed Co. The haze is the pollen donor, and I’m expecting big things, or maybe not, we’ll see. 🤞

  25. @331mexa on April 20, 2025 at 9:44 am

    Can Male plants produce seeds??

    Lab testing a male for its terpene content?

  29. @Almighty_Tubsta on April 20, 2025 at 9:49 am

    Brilliant video, cheers bro. There’s a lot less info available on boys and what to watch for. Thanks.

    Hello can I get Cannabis ruderalis seeds?

  33. @psgbibi27 on April 20, 2025 at 9:52 am

    Amazing work though and very precious information unavailable everywhere

  34. @Muzzeo on April 20, 2025 at 9:53 am

    Complex information presented in a way that the layman can understand. Amazing videos my dude

  35. @MR-puffnstuff on April 20, 2025 at 9:54 am

    So take a male cross it with your favorite hoe. Now there a bunch of seeds pop them and pick the best lady’s of the bunch that have great traits. Now that original male flower it again make pollen pollinate those girls to double up the original male genetics. Now you got seeds again and you pop them and those ones you find the best ones you can resesive and desirable and cross it with a male from that stock now at the end of all that should there be good stalk to work with.

  36. @growbrokc7996 on April 20, 2025 at 9:56 am

    What about males that show flowers early? Like in the 6-8 week mark in veg? Would these be considered undesirable?

  37. @NewYork-it4pi on April 20, 2025 at 9:59 am

    Keep up the good work

  38. @fullTimeVeganinOhio on April 20, 2025 at 10:00 am

    Probably could have come up with a better analogy 😅

  39. @IBMikmaq on April 20, 2025 at 10:00 am

    I have always chose my males for breeding, first by looking for the ones who show best vigour and smell I like then second I will dry their flowers and smoke the flowers, one hit on a pipe. The one that hits me the hardest is the male I choose for breeding.

  40. @jamesgeorge4279 on April 20, 2025 at 10:01 am

    Thanks man reversed a few plants but never managed to get my hands on the pollen easy when you know how?some of the best content al

  41. @blizzard_of_Za on April 20, 2025 at 10:01 am

    I was told by a breeder/ pollen chucker and he told me same, short tight nodes and also he said the male plants genetics 🧬 with be the superior gene in the F1. ? Is that True? Can anyone help me

  42. @jonathanbigger4199 on April 20, 2025 at 10:04 am

    You need to let that male flower all the way you Until it’s done, just like the females, they’ll show a lot of characteristics and trait.

  43. @AdamsGardenOfWeeden on April 20, 2025 at 10:05 am
