so i woke up this morning and noticed four ball sacks. two on my bottom branchs and two were i topped my plant. they are verry small and i only have a few plants. i dont have any light leaks to my knowledge and none of my other plants are folowering. would it be reasonable to pluck them off and how would i go about that?
I've heard you can pluck them off. I assume you'd just pinch them off at the base... as close as you can get to the stem.
If they keep coming back I would weigh your options as to whether these plants are worth a possible pollination of the rest of your crop?
What strain is it? Were they stressed in any way that you can recall? Overwatering, pH, overfeeding, etc....
well im doing a deep water culture/wick feed so i do feel that they could have gotten a lttle to much water.Quote:

I also mist them once a day with some rhizotonic solution?
any thereys?
Did they open up yet?
Hermies are my biggest fear right now (besides the return of spider mites)!! I've got such thick foliage in my room that I don't know if I'll be able to catch them in time because I can't realistically get in and inspect them every day.
Good luck. If you caught them in time I'd keep an eye on them for more ballz. If they keep doing it I'd probably chop them... but you probably wanna wait for someone more experienced to chime in. I'm still learning quite a bit about all this.
If you have no flowers at all, and you have a single plant with balls, and no female traits whatsoever, I think you have a male plant. Normaly males show sex earlier, and grow taller than female plants. My advice? Get rid of it.
well this plant was super buschey and not that tall, it did grow thicker faster, and the root system was awsome.
your probably right tho and you make a vary good point, but most the times the males i've had have grown upwards super fast, not outwards super fast
I would say that is somewhat true, but bushy plants can be males too. This past grow my bushiest plant ended up male. I agree with oldhaole that you very likely have a male, especially if its not showing any pistils but only sacks.Quote:
