I've been growing Master Kush for about a year now and I started some Purple Kush plants exactly 5 weeks ago today. They are starting to get pretty big, and I noticed some of them have white pistils where they're supposed to, so does that mean they are female or do I still have to cut a clone off it and flower the clone to tell for sure? Any help is greatly appreciated!
no pollen sacs any where? Just pistils? sounds like a girl, but then again you wont know unless you lift up her skirt...
Yep, so far only pistils starting from the top down, more popping up as the days go on. So I still need to flower a clone to make sure?Quote:

You don't need to flower the clone to make sure, although I would anyways :) It means you'll have another girl, the more the merrier right? :D
Well, I am just asking because if I can tell its already female by the preflowers, I can move it to a DWC bucket and use it as a mother. It will save me 3 weeks of time and I also have a bad pyretrium infection that I can't seem to get rid of in my E&F system. I had a mother in there over the summer that ended up getting it bad and its been living in my system ever since despite the fact that I've cleaned and bleached everything.
I started 8 PK's and they all have the rot and a couple are damping off and dying so I want to just trash them all and concentrate on my MK and PK mothers. Thanks for all the input, and keep it coming if you have a new take on the situation!
that sucks
Yeah the heat really stuck it to me this summer as far as root rot and I haven't been able to beat it. Its finally turned hardcore winter so my temps are way down which is awesome. I managed to get two nice clones off the mother before I put her into flower, but I just can't beat that root rot so I think I might just take her down. She is at day 43 of flower and has absolutely no mass on her and her roots smell like rotted death :(. She's completely regrown a new root system 4 times over the course of her life, so she is quite the robust lady overall. I'll probably kill her soon, but her clones will live on! :thumbsup::jointsmile:
I stopped using Hygrozyme a while back because I couldn't afford it, but do you think it would help stave off the root rot?
And are there any final decisions on whether or not my PK with white pistils on the preflowers is a female? :jointsmile:
