HYDRO and MALES

[rzaodb6]

I had a great looking grow with hydro going and when i started flowering the grow pretty much turned to crap. Mostly all plants were males. Is hydro more suseptable to producing males cause in dirt my ratios were much better. Im thinking about just throwing away the grow and starting up a couple plants in five gallon buckets.

There is no connection between hydro and more males.

As long as you have 1 female you should be fine. Clone it. In hydro so you have crazy veg growth rate youll be right back on it.

Ive grown many soils and this is my first hydro too and have chopped a couple thriving plants cuz there balls hung out. It sucks but when those ladies showed I cloned like a mofo

Keep your head up. and clone the Bitch

whats up mad man? hows your grow been?

[Easy Roller]

Probably the luck of the draw dude...But if pH is too low...then the plants have a higher chance producing male flowers

It´s all about stress, if you can´t grow a decent grow on hydro stress will influence the plant and you+ll have more chance on males and-or hermafrodites.

Q: If the plant is Male does the plant still flower?
Are the flowers smaller?
Are they less potent?
Are male flowers the same as females just with seeds?

[GluteusMaximus]

A female plant produces buds. A male plant produces flowers. A female plant can also produce male flowers, however, a male plant cannot produce buds. Male plants are useless unless you plan to cross breed or make rope. If you have a female that happens to be producing male flowers as well as buds, you can try to isolate that plant from the rest to prevent pollenating the females of the crop.

Females produce seeds in the buds once they're pollenated by male flowers. A good grow is females that never get pollenated whose buds swell to maximum size until harvest.

Again, male plants are almost useless.

Hope that answers your questions.
