I agree! The weed I smoke is grown organically. The purpose of this is to produce feminized seeds. I intend to stop growing for 2 years in a year and when I start back up I want to have a big batch of feminized seeds. Which can be grown organically. For me organic is more of a scientific/health thing for me. I care what I put in my body. Organic is not a religious thing for me.

Thanks! I have not gotten any solid advice before you on this.
I did put it under 24 hours of light for about 10 days thinking it would re-veg. It looked like it had re-veged since it was only 2 weeks in to 12/12.
I was concerned that this plant had already expressed its sex actually, but the thing is this plant has big pre-flowers so it expresses sex before flowering. So I thought WTF. i might as well try with it now. I chose this plant because as I was packing my plants in the top of this plant got caught on another pot and the top of the plant was under a pot for a few days and the cola was a goner. I decided this plant was healthy enough for a few male sac's but not a huge amount of bud.
Anyhow, what is your opinion. Re-veg this plant now for longer, or put a new clone in there? I am about 3 weeks out before I have a new clone ready.

oh, yea! I would not do that. But there is some product out there which is meant to make your buds bigger with gibberlic acid in it. So I guess some people do.

Yes I do understand this problem, I like the gibberlic acid solution as it does not lead to genetics that tend to go hermie. But I don't actually know what I am doing.

The plant not being polinated will reconize that it hasnt and it will then grow some ball sacks and attempt to polinate its self. You can then just let nature take its course and the plant should make a few seeds, or better yet save the pollen and use it to breed with other females later on down the road.

Tried it. Maybe it works for some strains, but not the ones I grow. An extra month in there after all the hairs turn red and no pollen sac.

That is what people say. I don't like to consume chemicals. I did think it was intresting that I saw trics on the stems from this chemical. If this stuff does encourage resin production it is not unlikely that a lot of commercial bud has the stuff on it. I guess they use this stuff on seedless grapes.
