No there is no THC in males just pollen that will seed every plant near your house and ruin every crop you come in contact with...so don't grow males!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read alot before you grow...check out the stickies in the beginers thread.
And junk is a term used to describe Heroin so I don't think that would go over to well with most dedicated stoners....
I'm not trying to be mean,I just want you to know the inportance of sexing your plants and reading up on growing otherwise you might ruin your plants and possibly every crop in a 1 mile radius...so no males!!!!
Growing cannaibs is a little harder then most people know.
It's a strong plant but also sensitive in alot of ways.
So good luck ...read up and have fun with a head full of knowledge.

No, not really. There is very little THC glands on male plants. The pods, they are full of pollen and contain no THC. You would have to smoke about 3, cigar sized gaggers, to catch a slight buzz, following a massive headache. Don't grow males out. When you first see one, chop it down, throw it in hash bin.

Anyways, I see a few mistake in your design. First of all, don't take pictures or let any light in when the light is off. Letting light in at anytime during the dark period will gurantee a male, or hermie plant. Second, get some reflective material on your walls. Dark blue walls will absorb all the light instead of repell it, wasting all that light. Get some flat white color on those walls, or some tinfoil. Use the DULL side of the foil. Good luck

thats thats the stuff i was lookin for, thanks much. this is when i just shut off the lights for the dark period, i thought it would be a decnet idea to just slowly work into complete darkness. this ome time

Epstine looks a little droopy and sad (almost depressed) during the dark period, is this normal? If its not how can i make it better? I'll have some pics tomorrow, lots of growth since last update, and finnally got locker covered in dull foil. Bad feeling she's gonna turn male because of all the stress i put on her we shall see. I killed Phoenix and used him as fertilizer, i just didn't have the room for her.

I'm not quite sure why you have your seedlings in the dark. Proffesionals mostly keep the lights on for 24/0 (24 hours a day). Cannabis does not require a dark period to rest. If you keep the lights on the 24/0 schedule you will have higher sucsess rates with females, faster growth and shorter internode lenghts. I'll tell you what I tell all other new growers. Go buy a cannabis growing book. They can be found at Barnes & Noble, Borders and Books A Million just to name a few. As for your room I don't know what to say because I don't know if your wanting to grow potent cannabis with high yields or just growing for the fuck of it. Your room needs major fucking work in order to produce high quality cannabis. No offense bro but I'm just being honest. If you want to know what equipment I use myself and need help with the design of your garden then let me know in this thread and I will be happy to assist you. Have a good day brother.

I appreciate the honesty, and welcome the help! Think I should just junk this plant and start over? I haven't read anywhere about leaving 24/0, going to have to look into that. As for the potency and yield, of course i would like it to be potent and huge but i just dont think that i have the resources for it. I have a book I looked into (got off the net) its called "How to Grow Medicinal Marijuana" by Todd McComick. Need to read it better then just skimming it. I'm pretty much absolutly broke right now so I can only use what i find around the house, my mom does a little bit of gardening so i have soil and stuff. My locker is coated in foil now (dull side) so thats a small improvement. If anyone could give me tips on how I can utalize the space i have in that small locker id be very happy, dimesions r 32"x12"x12".

I know alot of the Vets here get sick of all the new people trying and screwing up, but please bear with us we appreciate all your wisdom and most of us will go on to help other new comers later on.

The link shown above will take you to an online version of a Cannabis Cultivation Book. I myself use The Cannabis Grow Bible by Greg Green. If you want to see a picture of that book link on the link in my signature. Good Luck.
