This one grew as a single cola and had notes of road kill

@Buck5050 What is you schedule? I plan on working through the rest of my bx1s this year hopefully will find a couple boys to do a preservation attempt.
I have 4 unsexed up at 15 days in veg. I have the keeper female still going. These were labeled BX2 when I received them. I am trying to get sexed cuts set outside by mid July. I probably take em at mid October. If I need be I can do small batches indoors over a period of time. At this point I am hoping for a simple preservation stock.

This "cleaner" pheno though looks great what she taste like?

Dunno yet, still drying, but smells like a mild cleaner, a little chemical a little floral.

Will you collect pollen and/or keep the males?

I found just trying to keep a natural process to my approach is best. The most reliable way for me is to keep the male and run it with the girl. If I can get them outside they'll run side by side male upwind. Indoors I found I can run them together and then separate them before sacks open. It allows me to collect fresh pollen to drop in a baggie and drape it over some selected branches.

Two suspected males on the left and keeper cut female on the right. The structure on both suspects are very similar along with vigor. I am however getting some distinctive differences is smells from the two.

I am going to re-read this journal and see if I can find some direction on where these F2s should go. One male is absolutely loud. Nasty,gross, and disgusting. While the other is identical to the keeper female which turns out to be very floral and sweet. I could attempt to either open it up or narrow it down.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have had issues with males being hermi. They always seem to be the ones that show the female traits such as sticky and smelly.
This is how I chose the TGA Agent Orange male keeper. Pulled the two sticky loud males and kept the beefy odorless male.
We will see what happens.

He looks like he filled in nicely.


groerr would lean to the rank one, but he'd probably do selective with both.
Yeah he sure would take both and play the long game. Unfortunately this F2 run is more of a tribute to show appreciation while in turn showcasing the work. I do have other lines I want to explore after this preservation. I think those thoughts lean to opening up the line a little bit more.

I have consistently grown out my keeper cut(now labeled #5) and posted it in this journal. I referred to her quite often as the "juicy fruit" pheno. She leans heavy to the blueberry and has dark reddish stems. You can go back and see some of my previous post with her if you would like. I recently began flowering both #2 and #4. Both of them had similar female structure and #2 threw some pre-flowers. A few weeks later #4 showed to be a solid male and #2 has held true to being female.

#4 male has a skunky, burnt rubber, dry smell coming off the stems by his flowers. It's not pleasant, but I like it. I also like the fact that his structure and stretch has stayed consistent. He is and has been the most vigorous plant in general throughout this process.

#2 female is still in early flower but has similarities to #4 as far as smell goes. Not much skunk, but the burnt rubber is there with a slight sweetness comes through on the back end. I am curious to see how the flavor develops. As far as growing the plant is very hardy and strong. She had a decent amount of stretch that stays very consistent in the internodal distances.

That leaves #1 and #3 which I suspect are males.

#3 hasn't got much going for it out of this group. I do get a very light skunk other than that I can't seem to get much fragrance off of it at all. Though the plant has some vigor and its nodal spacings are decent, it is a good grower but they all are good growers. This one isn't worth effort and I am going to remove this from the pool.

#1 This pheno has made this project difficult if this one is in fact a male. Nasty flavors coming off this one. Rank skunk, slight decay, and some mellowness with a touch of s faint sweetness. Fairly loud pheno in general. Nodal spacing is elongated like you would see in a male. But, if it is a male compared to his brothers it would be the longest nodal spacing out of the group. If I was to name this pheno it would be called "stink bug". You can almost draw the relation once you smelled it.


Decisions decisions decisions. Both #4 and #1 are contenders for keeper males from the group. I probably will use them both in some capacity or the other. I like the idea of using #4 with my GG4 cut to help reign in the structure while adding an actual flavor profile. The #1 is the best bet for overall terp range. I think he would be suited best for the F2's to open the line up and be able to keep the intent of @GroEer

4 BRBx1s to flower 2x ea. boy/girl. Showed w/in 1 week, pics are day 10.
Female 1 is has deep serrations while no.2 has some doubble serrations. Male 1 is stacking nodes while no.2 is 3-4 times the node spacing.

Clones collected for an open pollination run with the remaining siblings panning out for this fall.

She's maturing quicker than her sister. Her smells are rich sweet lemon and tangy that finishes with a chemical sharpness. She's sticky and stacked. Buds are solid, but smaller in comparison. She does push her frost out a little more though. It's crazy how the aromas change from veg to flower, her old burnt rubber is no where to be found.
