Picking Males

I’ve got my eyes on some F4’s for father stock. Wondering if the pollen from an F4 male is still potent/viable? No point in buying them if that far down the process the pollen is compromised. Thanks for the input

hollow stem, structure, potentially trichomes

In my experience, all plants, male and female, have presented with hollow stems.

Mine certanly not. I have had a few without hollow stem. Might also depend on when to check that. I usually only keep males until they are week 3 or 4 and most dont have a hollow stem at that point

Any particular smells that you all chase?

Of the 3 possible males I have:

- Pickle
- Myrcene
- Linalool perhaps. Possibly

Currently doing just that.

You have plants that smell like pickles? I wonder which terpene that would be.

I assumed that might be the case with picking males. IE: The progeny.

I tried convincing females to mate with me based on my progeny. Doesn't work well at the local pub though.
