I have confirmed that Aunty is a female!!! I see 2 white hairs growing out from the upper nodes. Hell ya! As for Skunky & Sis I have yet to determine their sex. I can see something that would resemble a nut sack but its only been 3 days so I'll give them more time. I figured all plants are different as in humans so Aunty just showed first cuz of genetics(aunty & sis are from same bagseed) I really want skunky to become a bitch because of her vigourous growth and size.
Question.... If Skunky turns out to be a male what would ya'll do? Pollenate female(free seeds,good genes) still get high with seedy bud and try again-- or -- kill em off, stick with fem for some better weed without seeds(buy some to try again) Rep points for opinions.

Its all up to you bro. I had that same delima about three weeks ago. I pulled my males, and now regret it. But its all up to you like I said, I think I am going to buy fresh seeds if I can! Its all in my journal...

well, if it helps... one thing that helped weigh my decision is that if you want to get seeds, and decent smoke, your pest bet is to completely isolate the male, collect pollen, and only release the pollen on a couple lower branches of the female. I have seen this work before, there is a specific method to do it, so that the rest of your female buds are sensimillia (non-seeded buds). I didn't want to donate the time and energy into making sure the male/s were completely isolated (I considered just making the Forbidden Treasure that turned out to be male, into a houseplant (but with the A/C on and the wind here I think that the pollen would have spread to the entire crop), so I didn't keep them. I made brownies out of the leaves, and gave them away at a BBQ (only to verified patients of course,

. Basically my understanding is that you collect the pollen, dispose of the rest of the male plant, put the pollen into an air tight bag, and lightly secure the bag over the portion of the female plant that you want to seed. You leave it there until you can no longer see the yellow pollen in the bag, and carefully remove it after like 12-24 hours (not 100% sure on how long you are supposed to leave the bag on for, sorry). I might be mistaken, and you might have to leave the bag on until the seeds are mature and you harvest the branch/branches that you have seeded. I will look into it more, just to be sure about how long to leave the bag on. Like I said, I have seen it done before... just a long time ago... lol, learned it from this real old school cat that does something a little bit similar to what I am going to be doing once everything is completely set up... he started doing it again too, as we had all noticed that after about the 4th-6th generation of cloning, the plants become less resilient, vigorous, and the bud less dense, stinky, and stony.
Eventually I will be using this method, hopefully with the seedlings that I have going now (that is if I can get the wife to donate our walk in shower, lol)... as long as your happy though... it doesn't seem like people are very much into giving a whole lot of feedback or info in the last few days... don't worry about the rep, its not a big deal to me at all... but the gesture is greatly appreciated, and the comment.

Awesome advice dragon. I just wish I had the space to do something like that. So I guess I'll just have to weigh my options in the next couple weeks. Regardless of the outcome I am satisfied that I can see this grow till the end with my confirmed mom. I'll keep this updated with my decision... stay tuned.

So today I confirmed that both Skunky & Sis were both males with big ass balls!!! I made the decision to cut them down

Today is a very sad day for me because I really put alot of time and care into them two... On the upside Aunty is doing good and I also took a cutting from her before flowering.
*question* is it possible to take another cutting from her 6 days into flower?

desertrat · #19 08-17-2008, 01:13 PM

condolences, i killed my two boys last week and nearly cried at the funeral. yes, you can pull a clone at 6 days flowering. the sooner the better.
