Hi growers. Just a few questions that hopefully will get answered.
I am doing an indoor single grow and my baby girl is doin great.
I had a few growing in the cupboard, some went alright some went not so well.
I chose the best lookin female and kept her in the cupboard under lights.
So, me not being a wasteful person putheir rejects in the back garden

Had no idea when I planted them.

One plant went hermie so I pulled it out but my mate said I was crazy.

So now my delemma is that the "inlaws" are coming over and the girls in the back yard are even bigger than this now( pic about 1.5 weeks old) and I'm not really in the mood for questions.

Question time:
Can I carefully remove these girls out of the garden and into pots for a few days and hide them in the roof under lights ?

Will this stress them and turn them hermie?

Is there a way to turn a hermie back to female? My mate said to just keep castrating your plant, but you can't believe everything someone tells you

1. Sure

3. Dutch master reverse i think it's called.

1. Yes
2. Part 1. Yes it's going to stress them. Makes me cringe to think about having to do it but well, you got to do what you got to do. Part 2. As far as i know you cannot make a plant hermie before flowering, so i think you should be ok there.
3. Some plants you can just remove the male flowers and any new ones that start forming and as long as you fix whatever stress caused it it should stop making male parts. with genetic hermies it doesnt work. you can get the product dutchmasters reverse mentioned above as well, but it does not work on genetic hermies either in my experiences with it.

Dont let them in the backyard. Say you just sprayed chemicals on the lawn or something like that. Maybe pick up a few road kills to toss back there to make it smelly so nobody wants to go back there. In the fall when I harvest my outdoor crop and hang it in my garage you can only imagine the odor. Nothing a few 5 gallon buckets of fish guts strategically placed dosent solve.......

Dont ransplant them man those r some beautiful plants and yes it would stress them for sure. U got em planted outside so either 1) ur a MMJ patient and if the inlaws dont understand it, then hey, fuck em or 2) ur a badass and said fuck the police and ur growin outside anyways, which id say fuck em again if they get butt hurt. I understand there family but guess what... THEY ARNT YOU. Obviously ur married (i am as well) so ur a man and can do shit urself. Let them know and if they ask b straight up with it and EDUCATE them. Or just dont bring em outside at all and keep ur mouth shut lol

I would leave them. Try to keep them from going out for a look, and if they do see them, know what they are, and ask why you have them, you can:

1. (realizing they know what they are for a reason) ask them, "would you like some when they mature?"
2. Tell them "Hey, I need all the help I can get tolerating your daughter"
3. Tell them "it's this or whore your daughter out for extra cash"
4. Tell them "these aren't the droids you're looking for"
5. Hit them over the head with a shovel, and use them for fertilizer.

I had this problem a few years back, What I realized was most non-smokers only recognize them by there large fan leaves, I cut them all off, to only very new growth, and pretend nothing is out of the ordinary, it worked for me. Now this isn't great for your plant, but they are still young and will recover quickly, mine did great afterwards.

Had 8 in my garden last summer and maybe 1 out of 20 people that came over noticed, hell my buddys girlfriend who lives here didnt know til we told her! Leave em be, after all its your place not theirs so why risk ruining a good plant?

moving the plants will stress the roots...

if you are moving them, then try to:

Bring as much of the roots as possible
Water thoroughly after transplanting
Always make sure the rootball stays moist when transplanting
...then cure the plant shock...
Add some sugar
Trim back the plant
Keep roots moist

What you could do is leave them man its gonna stress them dont cut anything off or anything like that what you need to do is go and find some pastic flowers and pull all the flowers off and tape them or just tie them so that they can be removed make sure to use whatever is in season as far as flowers go make them look like another plant you dont gotta stress them just camo them up a bit with some cheap plastic flowers no one will even suspect a marijuana plant with big yellow flowers or whatever color you choose thats my idea and i think it has been by far the best one yet

Thanks for the input, ill just give you guys a heads up, i live in melbourne Australia and i have 6 plants which is a criminal offence and i could face jail time and a fine.

As for the inlaws ive always gone to them because they live interstate.
the three in the garden werent really ment to survive as they were the stunted rejects of the crop, but they are now coming along so well in the compost mix i just wanted to stash them away for 4-5 days in the roof under lights, from my prude inlaws.
