So I sexed out two strains. I'm keeping one male of each for seeds. Right after they showed, I selected them, and even though they had little balls showing, I topped them(they were to tall) and put them back under 24 lights to reveg. I want to grow these for a while, i'm nowhere ready to collect the pollen yet.

that was two days ago, today I looked them over and noticed the stalk was hollow....I mean a hole, hollow. I know from harvesting that plants have that hollow feed tube, but i've never seen it so pronounced before...

So my ? is:
does the male plant act the same way a female does when its topped? Will it return to veg state and reflower like a female does?

This matters because i've only got a few other plants that haven't shown yet and was planning on killing off any other males. Guess i'd better hang on to any males to be sure...

Guess I'm breaking new ground here.....

first timer here.. so my opinion is completely out my ass (im honest lol).
I would think that if you tried to clone it , it should work..
I dont think a clone has anything to do with sex at all.
I would think that noone ever clones them because people dont want them lol.

I can see why you would,but I have no clue what you should do dude.
best of luck !

Sorry to have to be the one to point this out to you but the thread is about topping not cloning. To the originator of this thread; I have never topped a male but think you should keep the others until you see how the topped plant responds.

Hey guys, thanks for replieing. Keeping other males is what i'll do, but i'm gonna stay with the topped ones as long as possible, just to see if it worked. I was hoping a breeder would reply thinking they may have done it before.....they are living so far....

It will hiccup and then keep right on growing little balls.

sittin in the carport watchin the cars go by... its alright..

Hey Babybud and kho20, thats what I want to hear! Thanx to the both of you. Crackerjax, I put these back under 24 hrs light, I hope they'll reveg.

A male plants job is to get tall and push pollen constantly all season long. I think u'll find it will grow, and continue to push pollen uninterrupted.
