Male Plant

[MrRoot]

...what does one do with them, if one were to find out they had some?

My buddy has two, and considered trashing them, but asked me to reach out for him.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Edibles?

[trichcycler]

if they're healthy, and verified, breeding them with select females is an option. After they flower pollen can be collected and stored.

I've stored mine successfully for over a month and it was viable. Otherwise, I feed mine to my meat rabbits.

[MrRoot]

i have him here at the house.

he says they are random seeds he found in his meds.

 

He planted in soil and has been flowering for about 2 weeks.

He has been picking the 'nuts' off as he finds them.

 

Is it worth letting them finish their life cycle, or just s-can them?

[trichcycler]

destroy the useless plant count(s) at once.

[Kingdiamond]

Like the amazon women say KILL ALL THE MALES!

[t-pain]

are you talking about hermies or males?

 

you can eat the males, i think they contain cbda. good fiber.

[trichcycler]

consuming pollen from either has always been a bummer med for those I know. but those same folks, also agree that ""ditch weed" is now called "high cbd", the stuff of anxiety, gastro intestinal discomfort, and headache. I suggest that myself, and incidentally the patients that seek my garden are intolerable to these high cbd plant usages

 kill all that show their ugly head, or they will haunt you for the next 60 days, and beyond

[MrRoot]

im going over there today, and im going to take a pic.

i saw the little 'nuts' but i also saw the pistols in the top flower.

It may be a herme.

 

I should have a pic after lunch

[trichcycler]

we love the pixas !

[MrRoot]

He has picked off most of the 'nuts'.  I asked him to leave the rest for now, until you guys had a chance to comment.

As you can see, there are sacks, as well as pistols in the flower.  Is this a herme?

If so, should he keep picking the nuts, and in theory have a female?

 

[trichcycler]

please, look inside.

[MrRoot]

actually... i think i have a copy of that....

holy bunny muffin i forgot all about that book!

 

Ill have to go dig for it.

[MrRoot]

Welcome to our site I hope you find what you need!

 

Happy Thanks Giving!

yeah, they call them 'balls' because they hang down on the plant.

or 'nanners' because they look like little bananas that hang downwards off of the plant.

 

some informative posts searching for 'male' in the gallery:

 

 

and

 

 

bagseed sometimes means hermies. so keep an eye on it.

[MrRoot]

if the female preflowers are picked off, will they come back (like fimming/ topping) or are they gone for good?

[MrRoot]

the only time i ever grew anything was from clones, so I have no advice to give this guy!

thank you all for the feedback.  truly appreciated.

 

Once my paperwork gets finalized, im going to be this guys CG, so anything i can do to help boost his confidence is great!

[trichcycler]

everything will grow back, double, in time, not in the same places, as above mentioned

Thanks all!

Ill be headed back over there this afternoon, and will relay the good news.

CHOP IT !!!!!!

[MrRoot]

so we called another buddy of ours, a seasoned cg with grow experience.

What he has, are 100% females.

 

So...what he pinched off were the calyx, and they may or may not come back, but the rest of the flowers are healthy, and should be fine.

 

lesson learned!

[trichcycler]

DON'T CHOP IT !!

[Celliach]

please, look inside.

 

Personally, While I think there is good info in the book, I think Jorge makes growing waaaaay too complicated and expensive.  It's almost like he's trying to convince people NOT to become growers.  

[trichcycler]

Op didn't know the difference between male and female parts. The book quickly teaches a newbie(no offense op) the basics of sexing a plant. No need to reinvent wheels, that book did all the figuring necessary. I found only one error in the pages. (sexing seeds with temps/light applied to them)

 

 I followed suggestions in the book for building my rooms, par lighting, humidity, temperature, c02, nutrients, oxygen, pest management, mold prevention, plant training, genetic choices, and more, and never suffered the woes of many gardens I read about in forums.  True, it is one of the most comprehensive guides available, and is overwhelming for some, expensive for others, but sets standards of medical production found rarely online. While reading just the first few pages, I was convinced that this was my calling, and wanted to do it right.

 Compared to the internet, full of "tricks" and gimmicks of how to grow on the cheap, approaching the craft with the best of equipment and latest information turned out to be the best choice for me. Not everyone can do that, and I feel fortunate that I could.  I imagined an experience without much trial and error, and got one.

 

happy growing

[MrRoot]

No offense.  Everything i ever grew in my past life was from clones, so i never had to sex anything.

My buddy has never grown, and had no idea what to look for, so i sent him some links, and he thought they were males!

Very glad to get the feedback, and glad someone reminded me about that book.  i did find my copy!
