upset

maddd downn right now...I think my first grow produced 2 male plants..they have little oval balls but they kinda look like they are budding...no white hairs thought...i read somwhere that females can produce oval shaped balls before budding...should I wait a little longer...or just rip em down and start a new

I would before you take anything down you find a picture of a male and look. They are out there just have to search alittle maybe.

That kind of sucks Titan but if its the case where you only have males, you may want to grow them out some and collect pollen for future controlled breeding...if you plan on taking your grow experience to those levels. Be sure to clean up the grow area afterwards to be sure there is no residual pollen.

btw, is that you gettin barreled in your avatar? I live just a few blocks from the beach here in socal and love riding waves.

i looked at a lot of pics but I cant really determine...it doest really give me any good views...you know any good pics or description i cud find on the internet

yeah doco...i love jersey shore east coast been surfin for like 8 years..its onli good in the fall winter...rarely good summer unless we get a cane...that was taken in like november at pier

One of my first grow I ended up with 9 males, every fucking one was a male, but I think it was caused by extreme hat issues early on that didn't get much better.

Quick test.
Look under its skirt.
If the 'ball' is on a short little stem, and there's a bunch of them, it's a male. They start to flop over before they release pollen.
If the ball is tucked tight into the node, and there's only like 1 or 2, it's a female. By the time females show multiple calyxes you will also have pistils.

Nine males CC? Bummmmer!!!

I cried, I won't lie. I just couldn't believe it.

Are you kidding? I'd be sobbing my head off!

At least I figured it out early

Look what I found for you...

Page 261 of the bible.

"Enviromental factors star influencing se the moment the seedling has 3 pairs of true leaves. Factor include but are not limited to:

-N and K levels. Increasing N makes more females. Lower N makes more males.Increase K increases the tendency for males;Lowering K level encourges female plants. A higher N level and lower K level in the first two weeks increases females.

-Temperature: Low temp increase the number of female plants. Warm temp makes more males.[I know this first hand having turned 9 plants into males]

-Humidity: High humidity iincreases the number of female plants. Low humidity increases male plants.

-Light Spectrum: More blue light incereases the number of female plants[MH]. More red light increases male tendencies[HPS].

-Photoperiod: Fewer hours of daylight(e.g. 14 hours) increases the number of females. Longer days (e.g. 18 hours) make roe male plants.[think of all those people on 24 days]

Stress: any enviromental stress tends to yeild more male plants when growing from seeds."

yeah im pretty sure its a male now..its covered in the balls....i just had a 100% germination though with four seeds...so tom. ill be starting anew
