Hello mellows
I was wondering what thoughts were on timing tripping plants for breeding.
I have a bunch of mature plants and am ready to trip them but this is my first time breeding naturally using regular seeds grown at the same time.
I have 23 plants and by sight I’m able to tell which are male (10) and which are female (13)
I’ve separated the males for selection to their own space but am not sure if I should trip them together or give the males a head start? By a week or so?
A second question: as I plan to do some selective seeding of branches using different pollen, if I left a few branches unpollinated, would the THC and other active compound content of those not pollinated branches produce less active compounds than on a plant left completely unpollinated?
I’ve backed up the plants in hopes that I can select the ones I enjoy most but don’t want to throw off my judgement by messing with the compound content.
If that were the case I would just run the ladies for optimal product and collect the pollen for the next round of flowering the backups.
Any tips?
All but one of the males are showing some small signs of pollen sacs. With one showing one complete sac and another that has dozens of maturing sacs even at 18/6. Would I assume that to mean he’s a very vigorous breeder?
