Whose got big balls ?


You would of seen white hairs before now. When your balls start to hang over and point down, look out your about to bust a nut.

Thats what I was afraid of, he is my biggest plant and is hogging all of my grow space, so would you bet your biggest plant on that decision? ;)

[tcgtbs07]

2nd and 3rd opinions would be highly appreciated, I'm gonna kill it tomorrow if enough of ya'll convince me :)

It's a boy no doubt. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a fact.

[tcgtbs07]

I've been feeling that it was for a couple days now. I guess its just hard to convince myself lol, thanks for the FACTS, I will kill him when he wakes. :(

Killing male plants isn't easy all the time, but as you know, unless you are breeding, it's a necessary evil.

[tcgtbs07]

Yes, this will be my first execution, I'm hoping after I kill him, the rest of my plants will start to show some sign, I think their growth is stunted from him hogging all the resources.

From my experience, for what it's worth, when you are growing from unknown seed, it seems that most of the plants that get biggest the quickest also end up being male. It would stand to reason, after all, since cannabis pollinates via gravity and wind, that if the male want's to reproduce as much as possible, it'll have to do it from a higher vantage point.

That's a good way to look at it. My girlfriend told me that it was a male all through the veg stage because it was inconsiderate of all the other plants lol. Nature is a funny thing. I couldn't wait, I just killed the bastard, hopefully I can get atleast one female my first grow.

:chainsaw: TIMBER!!!!!!

This is what is left after I slaughtered the huge male, like I said, these are now 13 days flowering and Im not seeing any sign on these 4, the little one is an experiment so disreguard that one, but i also attached a picture of the roots, obviously I can't get the male roots out without harming the others so do ya'll think that these last 4 are just going slower due to the lack of root space or do ya'll think it's because the male was bigger and hogged all the resources? Thanks in advance for any input.

killing the boys is always hard for me...

Now I just stick with fem seeds so I dont have to feel as bad lol.

Iry is right... The males grow bigger and faster and in my experience stretch more to get real tall real quick. Chances are if the others are the same strain then the rest that havent shown are girls. Most likely... dont blame me if they arent!

Good luck with your grow.

I think you might be on to something, after staring at my plants for a few minutes, I noticed that one of them is a girl. Now it's getting exciting!!
