What is your question? Just throw the males away if you sure that they are males and grow out the rest of the plants, any females you have arn't going to get pollinated before they have flowers.

it could be a male and female if you cloned a female plant or if you bought a fem seeds. if they are in stress they have a chance of being a hermafradite.why dont you put a pic up?

concern about the high price of seeds, pollinate a branch on a female before you trash the males.

No it wont be viable when the ladies start to flower, moisture kills pollen so if your super paranoid just mist everything with a little bit of water.

for plants to be showing sex 3 weeks in is VERY unusual, thats way too soon. I think you are just freaking out for no reason and you don't have any plants that have shown sex yet.

If you supply pictures of said plants we can help you much more.


FWIW plants don't turn male, they were always male to begin with.
