Bud rot issue on seed moms?

For some reason it seems like seed production slowly kills certain phenos/strains. Im aware cycle of life they have to drop from dead plants some how but I hope premature dead growth won’t cause issues with my seeds later on when I go to plant them.

Is this a common issue or one I should worry about in the seeds they produce? I’ve attempted to top moms before flower to prevent large colas and potential lack of airflow.

Fire OG x Super Skunk - Very impressed with this one. The Super Skunk selection from the original 25+ year old seed pack has been proving itself again and again with the outcrosses

Seed Crop half way home.

These were first pollinated on 11/12, and daily since (can’t be too sure🙄). Three will be F2 Kush Mints/ Sativa Dream. Two ( rear left) will be a back crossed into the Kush Mints. Keeping them until 1/1. I’ll be Raising the light hours to 18/6 for the last two weeks. I froze some pollen in the event I want to use it later. 🤔

Best hash washing genetics

Who are some seed breeders that make the best washing genetics on the market these days? E.g., they are breeding specifically for bubble hash traits.

When is your window for selecting male traits?

Family, I hope you’re doing well this holiday season but I have come with a favor to ask.

I’m currently in the process of selecting a male for this season but I want to make my decision based more of resin development or odor and less about structure as I’ve previously done.

My question to the crowd;

When is the window/ which weeks of flower do you guys think the males are done showing its traits?

Obviously this will vary be strain and their respective flowing times.

What I am trying to get a feel for is this-

Can I make a decision for resin or odor before the 4th or 5th week for Indica dominant genetics? Will these traits be present by the halfway mark or am I gonna have to push 60+ days to see full potential like the female?

Tell me about when YOU know that one male is THE ONE use.

Happy holidays everybody

I have a couple of questions about breeding and standards in lineage listing

Is there a standard practice of which strain is listed first when listing the lineage of a strain i.e ♀️x♂️ or ♂️x♀️?

I understand that if two different strains are crossed the resulting seeds are F1 and if either original plant parent is crossed with one of those offspring seeds I would have a Bx1. What would the designation be if a F1 male is used to pollinate a F2 female of the same strain? Or vice versa crossing a F2 male with a F1 female? Would the resulting seeds be F1, F2, or F3? Thanks in advance!
