pistils are always white. perhaps you are looking at the stipules? these are found on the stem at the noedes.

Ok, you are right! Thanks alot Headshake! Its people like you that I know I can count on! Ok, another question. If im understanding everything right is it true that a plant can still turn into male after it starts flowering and if so what is the best way to prevent that. OHHH, one more if you guys dont mind. If you have 2 plants outdoors and they are about 5 feet apart and one turns male and one is female do you immediately cut the male down or do you leave it up and for how long?

Yes, they can turn male during flowering if stressed too much during the flowering phase. This is what we call a hermie (hermaphrodite) meaning containing both male (pollen) and female parts (pistils/flowers). Best way to avoid it is don't stress the plant and if inside no light exposure during the dark period in flowering.

Yes, the wind from outside can easily pollinate your whole crop making it seedy. If you want seedless bud remove the male immediately after confirming that it is indeed a male.

Thanks so much for the info! Do hermies produce buds or not? I am just trying to get my facts right so next year I will be up to date on my shit! Any extra info any of you guys have please let me know.. I need anything I can use!

Hermie bud sux IMO, most of the time once nanners show the plant is trying to produce pollen so it ruins the flower. One or two nanners on a big budding plant would be OK just cut those buds off, but if the whole thing starts throwing nanners I'd chop it.

ANYTHING! Thanks again guys! I will get pics of the 2 plants up tomorrow or tuesday. They wont be close up because I cant figure out how to get the camera to focus in on a real close shot!

Man you learn a lot by reading grow logs. Because questions are asked and answered. Then ya learn how to fix problem with your plants. Also, when ya read a good one and you can tell when there good, things are explain as there done. I just read and read. When i had a question i would ask in the grow log i made, but i always try to find answers before asking. You gotta remember these guys get the same questions everyday. Something i just learned. Check out the basic growing section too, it helps:rasta:

Spot on! It does get a bit tiring answering same questions day in and day out. So I would definitely recommend reading EVERY sticky in each sub-forum and then read everything in here

Happy growing! :jointsmile:

Well I apologize for asking another question! You guys arent understanding how much I am reading and learning from this site! I am not just asking these questions for fun and Im not just some punk kid trying to grow in his parents house. I am asking because I really want to know and when I do see similar questions half of them arent answered or they are not answered by people whom I feel are talented enough to answer them that is why I am asking you guys because I know you know the answers. I will stop asking questions and just let my plants do what they do. sorry for your time. and please no smartass comments after this because I am in NO WAY trying to be a smartass or anything like that..I respect alot of people on here because I have read a whole hell of alot and I know who is fit to answer the questions that people ask and I listen to them. Thank you so much for everyones time! Until then, grow smoke live!
