Thanks - appreciate the info. My set up is not in a tent which is why I'm getting nervous about all the pollen floating around. I've never tried this before and I don't grow indoors - always outdoors in the summer.

Thank you!

Thank you! I haven't seen any change in the female other than she's still making pistols. But from what you're saying, I could ditch the males and as her buds get bigger they should be full of seeds, in a few weeks.

I'm trying to make some seeds so I have a female cutting and 2 males cuttings (from the same father) and they're all flowering. I put them together in their own room one week ago. I have gently shaken the males and seen the pollen wafting to the female. How long do I need to keep the males with...

I'm running out of time with this female. There are pistols, but it's taking its sweet time to really flower. I'm going away mid October, 6 weeks from tomorrow, and I've read it takes about 6 weeks for seeds to mature. I guess fewer, mature seeds is better than lots of immature seeds. There...

Well that is a shame. I can't speak for my neighbors who may or not be growing, but I will continue to grow outdoors in the summer. You can relax - I'm nowhere near south Florida.

Thank you! The female that I want to pollinate has been making pistols for around 2 weeks and I would say it is starting to flower for real now. In response to SouthFloridaGenetics - I was thinking/hoping that my patio is far enough away from where my big female photo period plants are growing...

Can anyone explain why you shouldn't let a male pollinate a female before she's been flowering for at least 3 weeks? What happens if pollination occurs earlier than that?

Thank you very much! I don't have any big males to cut a branch from - just the little cuttings that are admittedly a little stunted. But I guess my biggest take away is that I do need to wait until my little female is well into flowering before allowing the males to fertilize her.

I tried topping some plants from seeds I has purchased this year (thank you to Boatguy for sharing a link to Uncle Ben's Topping Technique!) I tried to root the cuttings from the topped plants and got one to survive. So then I cloned one of my plants I had identified as male. Of course, the...

Follow up - yeah I pulled those plants a few days after that last post. Happy surprise was that 2 of the plants I put in the tomato bed were female, which I wasn't expecting. All plants are in flowering mode now.

Thanks to all who have weighed in. I appreciate your thoughts. I have tried removing male flowers from hermaphrodites in the past - it's always been a losing proposition. But I'm stubborn so I cut some of the male-looking branches this morning and left them to grow for a while longer. Nothing is...

My seeds came about from friends giving me seeds over the years from their weed (obviously not sensimilla). And I'm pretty good at sexing the plants early in the season, but in 2016 I got it wrong. I had what I thought were all female plants growing out back and we went on vacation (the pet...

I have some plants growing in my tomato bed (which is not where the rest of my female plants are) and two of them are hermaphrodites. I planted these later than the females because I wasn't sure what they were and wanted to segregate them. (These are from my own seeds so they aren't feminized.)...

Thank you! I didn't see any pictures (maybe I neglected to click on something...?) but the info is very useful. Very interesting. I think I'm ready to experiment...

Thank you - appreciate this info! I get my seedlings started indoors, when it gets warm enough I harden them off, and then they go outside in the ground. I don't really care how big they get - the bigger the better! But you have given me confidence to go ahead and take some cuttings and try to...

Thank you! I have looked at nugbuckets tutorial on growweedeasy.com and I'm afraid if I kill something it's too late in the grow season to start anything else. I think I'll wait to try mainlining with my own seeds this winter. But I would love to take cuttings of the plants from the seeds I...

Yes thanks I know what autoflowering plants do but you can't clone or mainline those. I have always grown my own seeds (and now have a ton since I missed a male and got fertilized in 2016 while away on vacation) and have always been able to harvest and get everything done on time. I purchased...

Okay... not quite sure what you mean but thanks for the reply.

Hi - I'm new to this forum and while I've been growing for decades I'm finally doing it better. I've never taken a cutting and certainly never tried to mainline a plant. I've been reading as much as I can and my immediate concern is how much time it will add to when my plants will flower and...
