And then there was one. . ..

Hey guys, im still on my first ever grow, and its been pretty cool so far. I started flowering a week ago, and out of three plants i was growin, two turned out to be male, but i have one very nice female. Im not really too upset, as its my first grow, and this was just a learning type of thing. I plan on doing another grow, with some nice seeds, not bag seed. But first i just had a question or maby two.

I read somewhere that if you have a male, and you cut it at the base of its stem, the roots and stuff will decompose, and make good soil for planting new seeds. Is that true? Thanks for the help so far, i feel a have a good grasp now to make a good next grow.:thumbsup: :jointsmile:

Any kind of plant matter is good compost once it is decomposed, but roots from a plant, it seems to me, that they would have taken some important nutes from you.

No reason at all to be upset. You only really need one good female anyway. Clone this female and avoid waiting for a seed plant next time. There might be nothing wrong with your 'bagseed' plant. Test some smoke first, and if it's crap, kill the clones and try your new seeds. There may be some other factors to evaluate as well, such as yield.

Also I wouldn't bother with keeping the old root material. There's probably more risk in attracting bugs with your rotting roots than you'll gain from added nutrients. You're most likely using fertilizer anyway, right? There's a difference between fully rotted (composted) material and fresh plant matter.
