Well, there was no point in me transplanting, buying nutrients, more soil, or anything, as yesterday all 4 of them showed male pre-flowers on their 6th node, and on some of the lateral growth on the first and second node.

I don't see how all four (the only four) could all be male. Well, I started out with a lot of seedlings in peat pellets, and selected the best 4 which were growing extremely fast. All the others looked stunted compared to those 4, so I assumed they were no good, and got rid of them.

I mean, the 4 that I saved, sprouted in 2 days, and on it's 3rd day, was already on it's 3rd node. By week 2, they were all starting their 7th node. They were all compact too, until a few days ago, when their nodes started spacing apart, after I fed them. I read that males grow fast, so now that I look back on it it kind of makes sense.

The last 3 weeks have been a huge waste of my time. Also, a huge waste of money.

But, I have a question? How did they show their pre-flowers so soon? All four, at the same time? And yes, I'm sure it was a male-preflower. They started out as these small bumps, where pre-flowers should be. The next morning, I looked again, and the "bumps" had stems. They all showed definate male preflowers, exactly 3 weeks after planting the seeds. Is it possible they were lowryder? They were just random bag seeds. I don't think they are lowryder because they have lots of lateral branching, and I read that lowryder doesn't.

Anyway, I decided to make use of them after I chopped them down. I took all of the leaves, and made a salad, lol. I put tomatoes, cucumbers, sharp chedder, and ranch on it. It actually tasted good, lol. I even chopped up all the stems and put them in their too, lol. The soil, I put into the compost pile, and gave my mom all the pots for her flowers that she plants around this time. I then screwed in all of the CFLs into the lights in my room, and it's a hell of a lot brighter now. So, at least the money wasn't all wasted, as I'm making use of the materials. I can't figure out what I'm going to do with the mylar yet. I took it all down, but I can't figure out a good use for it. Maybe I'll make some sort of space costume, lol.

I'm never starting from seeds again, unless they are feminized, and I can't get feminized seeds because they are expensive and I'm not ordering seeds since I don't have a credit card, and don't feel like waiting, to send a money order.

So, if I ever decide to try and grow again, it will be from a clone. Since I don't know any other growers, and I don't live in a state with dispensaries, that will be hard to find, so I'm pretty discouraged and pissed about all of them being male...

But, thanks Latewood and everyone for all their help, at least I got enough leaves for a salad, lol.

Peace,
