All males??

[SAP420]

You think I could make hash out of the trichomes on the males and if so... what is the cheapest easiest way to do it if you have any knowledge on that? I have heard of freezing the plant so that the trichomes fall off but I don't know for sure. :/

SAP420 Reviewed by SAP420 on 07-23-2008. All males?? Anyone ever had a problem with getting all male plants? I have four and there are no pistils. They have been on 12/12 for almost a full week now and I do see the flowering growth but no pistils on any of them. This is the first time that I have had no pistils, I always assumed that typically 50% of what you grow will be male plants but last grow I had only 2 plants growing and they were both females. This time I believe I have all males. Setup: 4 waterfarm systems 400 watt hps light Rating: 5

I personally don't have any knowledge of hash making with male plants. I always save all my stems and also my friends give me their stems and I make coldwater hash from them in a food processor then I continue shredding the stems to make a pulp and then I make paper from the pulp. As far as Hermie's go it has always been my experience that the female buds will show first before the male shows on the same plant, think about it for a second if the male shows first then the pollen will release before the buds produce hence no reproduction. The whole theory behind Herming is survival so female receptors must first be present.

You see... I had 2 hermies from my last set of seeds before this set but ...if I'm using the same seeds from the same plant batch... should I possibly always get hermies? Or is it more of a every now and then type ordeal? I went ahead and let the plants grow.. took seeds from them and harvested them since they did after all still have bud on them. And I'm using seeds from the same batch for the 4 plants I have growing right now.

You got me confused on that last question but no those are not hermies. Those are just males. If you got hermies before than its likely the mother was a hermie. Although usually you will get all female seeds with some carrying the hermie trait. I guess like 5% could be males.

some strains that ive grown have taken about 14 days to show sex i usually average around 7-10 days although ive had strains that showed sex one week before but yea it depends on veg time an strain but those do look male though judgin from those pictures

I believe that I see pollen sacs on every damn plant! I am gonna rip those bitches out this weekend and sadly have to start from seedling all over again. I already put some new seeds to "pop" for my new grow.... sadly another month will have to go by.

Yes that is what I am saying. I'm using seeds from the same batch of seeds that I had gotten hermies from before but this time I seem to have all males. I heard something about maybe soaking the seeds in aspirin or feeding aspirin to the plants during veg increases your chance of females... but who the hell knows. sheesh.
