Hello Scobbie I'm affraid they are , is that the same plant as on the other thread were I thought I saw some ?

Anyway Scobbie don't worry just pick them off, I've had quite a few on my present grow, I had to cut one plant early due to it going all hermmie on me


I'll just put a pic on I found showing male and female flowers

Yah after a bit it becomes easy to tell the males. In addition they usually present themselves first.

[cycleguy]

So if they look like that they are all male? Are those seeds are will they turn into seeds? I have some i just cut. I didnt know if they were male or not.

[scobbie]

will these have done damage to my other plants as these have been in amongst all my other plants

Hello Scobbie Well those on the pic won't have pollunated anything, they look pretty closed uptight so should not have released any pollen
When they do open up into flower the pollen is very fine and can spread about quite a bit.
I can't help wondering about what I saw on the earlier thread, if they were males and have been swamped with the female buds...............take no notice Scobbie I'm just thinking out aloud , and you haven't seen any anyway

Best thing to do is just check over the plants regulary and if you see any male buds just take then off.
I've had quite a few this grow and the one I had to cut was infested with them right in the female buds, so it was ethier cut the plant now or hack away and lose a lot of the female buds..............I choose to cut now



However I don't think you have anything to worry about, the plant looks really good and is starting to live up to her name of White Widow.........getting really white with resin

Oh by the way if you do get one or two seeds when harvesting, they'll be good for you're next grow

Mand makes an excellent point , even if you do get seeds dont throw them out!, for all we know that could be the "best" combo of genetics in one of those seeds . So save any viable ones (if you get em) only way to find out is experiment!. Sigh male plants if only they were more worthwhile, why can't someone play with THEIR genetics to make it that way . (I know I know their trichrome production has not much do with their genetics other than that male plants produce less but theres always room for hope!!!)

It's basically just a fantasy of mine to increase male's to female potency (Genetically speaking it would take several thousand generations to cause this so would probably take a concerted effort over hundreds of years).
