QUESTION: Keeping female plant in veg stage

[dookieface]

Sup,

Can you prevent a female plant in veg mode by plucking off its pre-mature pistils?

And then, maybe, clone it, grow it, flower it, would it turn out to be a female? or would it end up being a hermy???

Thanks.

Keep it in veg just don't goto 12/12. Im new, but i think i have a base of knowledge.

That's what is called a "mother" plant :hippy:. As previously mentioned, don't shift into 12/12 light schedule and the plant will stay in the veg state. I would not recommend plucking any pistils off... unless that is a new technique? And yes... the purpose of this is to create a stable female to clone from. As long as the environment is stress-free... she could produce clones for years. After her time is up... you can flower that biiiaaatch :jointsmile:
