15 - STILL GIRL

17 - male, topped. Seeing how flowers happen with fruit...

18 - STILL FEMALE

19 - unknown still...


So, of 19
6 Gals
10 Guys (8 are dead, 2 experiments to see if ethylene gas can cause female flowers if just from fruit - I'm a science nut, so just for fun)
3 still confused about their future.


So 28 seeds planted to start, over 20% end up being producers (likely - no idea if some will herm!). Not too bad all things considered! Possibly even 1/3 are producers! Heck, only 2/3 even lived to show gender because we're new at this (husband dropped the tray apparently THREE TIMES between planting and repotting the first time! some seeds likely lost, some plants broke stems...). Quite happy that we didn't get, say, 20 females! EEK! How can THAT fit in my closet unless they stay in solo cups?!? Maybe will do in the future if it's feasible, just to see what happens.


OH!!! Just thought of a good use for male plants - at least the leaves. Seasoning! I'll see how it may add flavor to various dishes, as I like to try new things with spices on occasion. As they are low in TCH but high in other chemicals and phytonutrients, it should be safe for the whole family although I'll be looking into that before I let the kids try any!
