BodomBox. Yes, still ~DAY 71~
By the way, for anyone too lazy to read back, these are clones I took from each one of my plants. Notice the numbering: 3a, 8a, etc. I rooted them, vegged them for a little, and now I they are on 12/12 in this rubbermaid grow box so that I can sex them. I will find out which plants are male and which plants are female. Any males, bye bye. Anyone wanna guess a number? I have 13 original plants from seed.
By the way, I am finding out that I dont have a representative from each plant. I only have 10 clones in the BodomBox...crap...another stoner moment. Hmmm. Well, gonna have to figure something out. Dont they look cute tho...or are they ugly?? :(
TGF
Ok, here is some more cloning. I'm taking clones of the plants that I forgot to clone before...and that last one is #6, which has been a runt all along, so I'm trying to top it again to see what happens. If it dies, so be it. :cool:
I also clipped the ends of the leaves, which I have learned ...somewhere. :) See if this works better or worse than otherwise.
TGF
Here's one last pic of the clones. I thought I had more pics, but I guess I got distracted smoking pic #2. ;)
:smokin:
TGF
WOW, you can never have to many pics. This shit is awsome, you got so much going on, Im in love with the end results, that nug is bombbb.
GreenFog, not sure on how many males you will get out of your lucky "13". But so far, I have 5 males out of 8 plants. :(
Since I was not able to get into the cloning process right now, I will do it on the next batch. It's really a shame to upbring and love a plant for over a month and then it starts to grow balls on you. I hope you get more girls than I did. I will get some seeds out of them and try to smoke the males as well. How bad can smoking a male white widow be? Peace
I will play along and guess that you will get 6 girls out of 13 plants. Roll the dice baby.....
.
I've been told that females are slightly more common than males, since male pollen drifts and can pollenate so many females.
How does this translate to humans? You tell me... :pimp:
.
smoking a male plant is useless very little THC a waste of your effort to grow them out
I'm only wasting CFL light on one plant. I'm planning on getting plenty of seeds from it. I will try to smoke it to find out if it will even get me high. I'm not putting much effort into keeping the male at opt conditions, just keeping it alive to mature the seeds. I was considering throwing out the other 4 males that are outside right now. I didn't even bring them in the past two cold nights cause I don't care much for them.
i dont get what you mean to mature the seeds the female does this on her own once pollen is made available to her, once the male sacs open you can discard the males the females will take over from there the longer you leave a male the more seeds you end up with and the more seeds the less smoke you have
OOOOOOO..K... I see a lot of people on here misunderstand the male pollen sack/seed concept. Go get a joint or pack a bowl. Here's pretty much how it goes:
Females grow buds..., which are made up of a bunch of little sacks or "eggs". These sacks are actually called calyxes and have 2 little hairs (pistils) coming out of each. That's why the plants continue to increase in hairiness as they grow more calyxes, therefore more hairs. These hairs catch pollen....
Males grow pollen sacks..., which contain pollen or "sperm." This pollen is like dust that spreads across the crop when the pollen sack opens. After the male spreads it's pollen, it is left with a bunch of open pollen sacks and leaves. No buds. Now pay attention. The little hairs (pistils) on the female "catch" the pollen and bring it inside the sack...and form a seed.
This is why the seeds are in the buds. The buds (groups of calyxes) are the only smokeable part, but if they are pollinated by the males, they form seeds.
If it is a good strain, the male will have some THC crystals (trichomes) on the leaves, which you could potentially use to make hash, even though the hash made from males is less potent then that made from females.
Males are virtually useless. Kick them in the nuts and chop them down. It took a long time for me to embrace this concept, but it must be done. If you just cant bring yourself to do that, grow them SOMEWHERE ELSE...and harvest the crystally leaves for hash or cooking. That is all.
Hope this helps clear up the whole "males growing seeds" controversy!! :thumbsup:
Whew, I need to go smoke a seedless female group of calyxes after that long rant. :rasta: :rasta: :rasta:
Be light....like a feather.

"What limes???"
That sounds about right Invision. Good grow by the way Thegreenfog. I will be playing around with cloning soon once I setup my grow closet. I have sum bubblicious and papaya along with durban poison x skunk#1. I was thinking of growing about 4 seeds of each and hope for 1 female atleast, then take about 3-4 clones from each plant. wait a week, then flower plants to determine sex, if any males, chuck them and thier clones and keep the 2 best clones from each female. I think I was gonna put the clones in sum bubble buckets.
Oh... and...
~Jeffar420~, thanks! I cant wait to see the end result of this one either!!!
~PassThatShiznit~ Good to see ya keepin up. Make sure you dont blink!...lol. I guess the post above answered your question about smoking the males... And I record your guess of 6/13 femme fatales (girlie girls for those of you who dont speak gibberish).
~Invision~ You were right but your post is a little difficult to understand so I just thought I'd spell it out for anyone who still didnt get it...and cuz I have some time on my hands right now. Wow...that's amazing! :) You harvest yet, mang?? That sweet lil' LST'd bitch you got... mmmmm :D:D
~Weed4Life~, Thanks. That's a good plan you got. That's pretty much how I'm doing it. I'll be keepin up witcha, mang!

Ok, guys, now the fun starts.
~DAY 79~ is here! :D:D
We think we know which are male and which are female!!! I'll put pics up of each test-clone just so you all can see for yourselves and help me decide. ;) hehe
Apparently, we did not clone all of the 13 plants and we only have 10 plants represented in the BodomBox. If you have been following along, we remedied that...well, we cut clones off of the other 3 to start rooting and vegging.
In the meanwhile, our test-clones, have started to FLOWER!!!!!! It's amazing...a sight to behold.
Our veg room...well, rooms are getting out of hand. We couldnt wait to find out any longer. Once we find out which are male and female, we dont know what to do with them yet! lol.
Well, here is some pics of the veg room on DAY 79...and I'll be putting up the flowering pics in a few hours.
Before then...let's get some more guesses on the number of females vs. males...You can guess out of the 13 OR if you want to just guess how many out of the 10 we have flowering, you can do that. Or both. :D:D
TGF
Well I just got 4/10 femm with some Aurora Indicas I just popped...
I wish you a bit better luck than me so how about 6/10 (or 7/13)
Keep up the (hypothetical) good work ;)

That's why GreenFog cleared you up with his post.
What I meant about maturing the seeds was that I'm growing the male plant until the seeds...well....mature. So they can be picked. So I can grow White Widow again. Get it? I'm growing a male plant in a different place from the females so I can get seeds from the male. Get it?
whatever dude take your piss contest else where you havent the clue
Let me share some male pics with you to see if it can help you clear things up. Look down to see if you have any sacs between your legs. Compare with pic on right. Hope that helps :)
dude.......lol......give it up
I think there is a basic misunderstanding here: males do not produce seeds....females produce seeds after they have been pollenated by a male.
LOL, Thanks :thumbsup:Quote:

Maybe I was too wordy with the explanation. Doco said it short and sweet, the same thing myself and Invision are saying. Don't get all confrontational on my thread please, PassThat. We're just trying to clear up confusion in a peaceful way. Please reread my post about the difference. ;)
What you can do, is grow the male in a separate place, and harvest the pollen, then you can brush that pollen on only ONE of the branches and have a completely seedless female plant, except for the bud on the ONE branch you have pollinated. That is a good way to get seedless bud to smoke, but still produce seeds to grow from later.
Be mellow...like jello.
Peace, love, and pot. :rasta:

Anyone else with a vote on how many females/males will come out of my batch?? I'm gonna probably post the pics in a little. :D:D:D
~DAY 79~
Mmmm. Veggies. :)
I know that the male plant produces the pollen sacs that distribute pollen to pollinate the female plant and cause it to grow seeds. Since I threw out my males in my last grow, I didn't realize that they didn't have any seeds. Then I read a post on here suggesting to kill the males or keep them for seeds. By this comment, I thought he was implying that the male plant could pollinate itself and produce seeds as well, so I put a male to the side this time. You worded your post fine. It was me who failed to understand it. Sorry for distracting your grow. :(
An apology to Invision as well. This potent shit I picked up was making me paranoid :stoned:
~DAY 79~
Cloning action. This is my 2nd set of clones. The 1st ones did well, they took about a week and a half to root but their leaves died a little right before they sprouted roots. They ended up ok and in the BodomBox for flowering. This batch has done even better. Took about the same amount of time to root but the roots look stronger and healthier on more of them this time...and the leaves look better. Olivia's cloning gel and rockwool with a humidome and a flourescent tube light...Kicks ass! :) I am the cloning master!!!! Just kidding. It is really easy.

~DAY 79~
Ok, guys, the moment we've all been waiting for. I'll start with a picture of the bad news. :eek: This is PLANT #7. Luckily, PLANT #7 has been a runt the whole time! The clone I put into flower looks awesome, tho! But, alas it has nutsacks... :( It is a bad forcast for this sucker.
THIS IS A MALE. :sadcrying :sadcrying :sadcrying
TGF
Crap...this post was supposed to go ABOVE the last post. Oh well. Here is the BodomBox after 10 days of flowering. We are on ~DAY 79~ of the actual grow but on *DAY 10* of flowering the Test-clones. If you want to find that PLANT #7, it is on the tall f*cker in bottom left corner of the rubbermaid box.
Well, at least we know no one is wrong yet. It isn't 10/10 females. Lol. We have at least one male. I can't stay and post the rest of them right now. But I will come back and do more asap. I love that pic of #7. It seems clearer than any other male pic I've seen before. I was so excited to see a male, if you could believe that. :eek: haha.
The voting is still open!
Be cool.
TGF
I'm going with 7F/3M
Come on guys, get the facts straight, males can only pollinate females, so no fuking bitching guys. You can only get seeds by pollinating the female. Dont be so quick to start shit. Read everything thoroughly. Dont be so quick to be judgemental and just offer advice and so forth. Come on Passthatshit, be nice cause you wouldnt want someone being an ass to you, right. Stay High all.
wow im gone for a week and this thread is huge! lookin good mate
Your plants look pretty good man, i just took 9 cuttings and got a assload of stuff from the hydro shop.Thinking about getting a 150 watter tomorrow.
Happy growin:thumbsup:
passthat i dont really try to take offense i do get pissy when i know what im saying is true but it doesnt matter either way we were talking about something else no worries keep growing.
greenfog i have space in my new cab if you run out of room :)
looking good
Yea, I'm an uber-poster. LOL. Nah, I just have lotsa pics. I was lurkin 'round these parts long before I started postin' and I just think people like pics. I sure do.Quote:

I was kinda confused myself and worried about whether I was going to be able to actually tell a male from a female because I had never really seen a GOOD clear picture of one. Plus, lighting, rockwool, hydroton, the works. I was blessed with all these pics and you should be able to see em too! ANYWAY, yea that's why I said, :blink and you might miss something!" This grow is a quick-mover. LOL ;)
Hey, Delta9, thanks. What stuff was used to clone those cuttings? I mean like what gel or powder? Hope they survive. Keep 'em moist! Talk to them dirty...that seems to work for me. :pQuote:

Thanks, man. Wish I could. I probably wont have room, but I cant bear to get rid of any females. That would be heresy! :eek: I'll find a place for 'em! ;)Quote:

dude, i'm likin the grow. I've been enjoying your thread for a while now. You obviously put a lot of thought into the care of your plants. I just started my first grow two weeks ago with some hi-mid bagseeds, and I'm looking at 7 seedlings (some were germinated later).
Thanks for stoppin' in. Planning for everything is difficult but I STRONGLY suggest people do their homework before rushing into an endeavor like this. :) Good luck with your grow. My grow is also "Hi-Mid Bagseed."Quote:

I'm trying to finish the flowering update. I have determined the sex of all of the plants in my test-clone rubbermaid grow box. These clones are from corresponding plants and are technically just for sexing purposes.
So far...PLANT #7 is a male...
THIS is PLANT #3...also male...
Score out of ten sexed: 2 M/0 F
PLANT #8
MALE...
Score out of ten: 3 M/ 0 F
I like to give bad news first. :D
PLANT #5
I'm so happy about this one because the mother plant is the branchiest of them all! Niiice.
3 M/1 F
