killer

hey everybody

im just fooling around with my first first outdoor balcony grow, i have 4 plants i germinated them in may,
3 of them is in a 10 l plastic bucket( i think its 4 gallons) and the last one i just replanted in a smaller clay pot( it was staunted)
all of them are growing healthy and much bigger then i anticipated, my problem is i think 2 of the plants are male and i need to kill them, so i will have 2 females ( 1 in the clay pot and 1 in the big platic one)
but what will happen to the roots of the killed ones?? my guess is they will just wither and be absorbed back in the dirt, but i dont want them to rott down in the soil with my female still in it, anyone got clues ?
cheers

(edit for spelling , english is not my first language)

hmm not 100% sure but i suggest getting down as deep as you can and taking out the entire root system if u can, without disturbing the other plants.

thats what i did with the little one, i had no probs with the rest after that removel, but i think the big male has roots all over the bucket, its almost 1m tall(3feet?) i cant even press my finger down in the soil anymore the one i think is female is much smaller, hmm maybe i should just replant the female?

feeling lucky now when i think about it, i was mostly planting for the fun of it and not the yeiald, the seeds where 2 years old from a bag and germinated in lots of water and toilet paper in the window( facing south)
i have been mis treating my plants just to experiment( i have topped 1, trimmed all and super cropped the male )
and as nutes i have been giving beer, left over carb water and triming from my herbs( i just started giving some storebought nutes) i know that i really sould just do 1 plant 1 pot, but space is an issue ( have all my other herbs on the balcony too) i still think there is about 2 months to flowering so i still have some time to decide what to do with them.

english isn't your 1st language??? bloody nora!!! lol
am with twisty on the 1 plant per pot thing. but sounds like u got a couple of nice girlies there dude. any pix?

how do you know its a male?

it's voice is a couple of octaves lower than the others' lol

the 2 i think is male has small balls on a stick( they haven't popped yet so i cant see if there is any pestils)
and the ones i think is female dont have anything at the nodes, i dont have my sdl cam at my flat ATM so i can only post big pics of my plants( i took them with my phone cam) i can do some zoom pics in a day or two ( so you can see the nodes and balls) did some ms draw( looks like a kindergarden kid with crayons)

cant really tell from those pics. try to get a close up shot of the smaller stem shoots off the main stalk.
