i hate male plants, they always happen to the plants which u r hoping to end up female, but still not too bad if there is only 3 so far, still majority possible female.
good luck
Sawleaf, sorry to hear about the 3 males, hope they are the only ones. You seem a little pissy since finding the males I've noticed. I don't know what I'll do when I find males...probably cry...then I'll throw the bastards away. Keep us posted!
Ah Daaaammmmnnn! dude I feel ya knockin. thats some messed up jazz. lets hope that the boys grow quicker than the girls so the rest may be female?!?!?!
Yeah you know, they are all my little babies, and then you have to kill them like a crazy psycho parent!!! :mad:
So far out of 10 plants, 5 have been males and have been killed. Looks like a few more will be male also. :(
ah well, next grow will make up for it. bought a 10-pack of grimm bros "sugar blossom" several years ago and had 100% males and got a pack of doc g'thumb's endless sky last year and all were f's...it's rare but happens. it'll all balance out in the end.
well you got White Widow,keep one male plant for breeding(if you get a female) so you don't have to go all that work and buy another 50 bucks WW seeds.Then you have like 100 seeds for the next generation.If I had 10 plants and 5 males came up I would be pretty piss but Ill breed them for more seeds so I dont have to buy them again.(me asking for a couple seeds has nothing to do with me telling you breed them)
that's what ill do but hey you can order another strain wroth 40-50 bucks again.
Yeah if I have a few more males then I will end up breeding them. :)
Where did you get your White Widow seeds?
The average male female ratio is 60% female to 40% male but if you ask me i would say more like the other way round .
I have had 80% turn male a few times :mad:
I'm growing some WW. sorry, but isnt the bad thing about males is the seeds? is the smoke as good? will post some pics in a bit.
the bad part is cherylsyv, that a single male plant can release enough pollen to to get to a whole grow's worth of females. In turn, the pollen makes the females produce seeds in the calyx, so you will end up with seedy buds, the reason people get rid of males is so there harvest can be sensimillia ( latin for 'without seeds)
ok so the smoke is just as good but it has seeds right?....... im lost
No the smoke isn't even close. Male plants don't produce buds. Omerta I got the seeds from Buydutchseeds.comQuote:

How about this for a first time grower...
Started with 10 "feminized" seeds. Only 3 even germinated. Of those 3, two went into vegetation, the other died. Only one of the two thrived in vegetation, the other died due to overwatering. The last one living is doing great, but it is male. DUH, did I mention, I am a first time grower? Jeeze. I have learned a lot though and the main lesson I learned is not to spend a shit load of money on "high quality feminized" seeds if you don't know what the fuck you are doing. I should have just started with crap seeds from what I smoke now.... Live and learn.
Yeah all my plants were super healthy, but I had to start killing them. The female that is left is doing great and she is loving sll the light.
