What causes male plants

[Ze w33d Farm3r]

I've always been wondering what causes MJ plants to become male...could it be possibly their genetics...their surroundings and such...or could it be just meer stress? could anyone shed some light on this? Cheers!

there genetics. ive heard of ways you can force sex them but im not sure if those are true or not. its all about there genetics.

Genetics is just ONE underlieing cause to what makes males males. Stress is a HUGE factor, along with nutes and lots of other things.

with that being said, what stress factors help the plant become female along wiht nutrients?

NO STRESS is the stress factor.....the thing is you want as LESS stress as possible. As for the nutes.....well, Im no chemist but I can break it down like this.

During cycles of the plants life, they thrive on certain balances of nutrients...say its in veg., you would want a high nitrogen (N), low phosphate (PH), and high potash (K2O). During flower, you would want a low (N) high (PH) and low (K2O). This would be a good nutrient soulution for a plants life to keep the stress down.

Now, I am NO pro at this, and am meerly learning, but in my experiences with growing this is what rings true. Some people, Im sure would argue with me, but I stick to what works for ME, and I have grown some very nice indoor cannabis, and Im in the middle-to-last stages of my first outdoor grow(which by the way is flourishing and guinormous at 7'2", and 4' across....Im not bragging, Im proud!!!). So, I hope this helps and happy growing-emtpockets

But realize you will always have some males, unless you grow clones or from feminized seeds. Even under optimal conditions you'll get a few.

That is also the truth.
