Selecting A Keeper Male

Judging a male is harder than judging a female, since you cannot smell the finished product and have to read structure, stem rub and flowering speed instead. Vigour alone is a weak signal, because the fastest male in the tent often passes on nothing you wanted. Criteria that breeders actually use when picking a father are described at https://breederregularseeds.com. Most people cull every male on sight, which is why good pollen donors stay rare.
