Hello friends! I usually grow from clones and indoor. This year I bought seeds and grew outdoor. I am still learning outdoor. However, I noticed that one of my feminized Blue Cheese seeds looks like it is a Male. I quickly moved it to the other side of my property. I have not killed it yet, because I want to make sure. I am attaching some pictures. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! 67256520_628353760990687_8131256445841702912_n.jpg 67207653_631912167300489_941876325033967616_n.jpg 67096378_342564273321745_8104472802150580224_n.jpg

Dang. Well good to know I was right to move it. Do you think it would be a good idea to stick a small female out next to it. Maybe I could get some more seeds for next season? Thnx
I quarantine the plant let it flower then cut it down and shake each branch over construction paper collect all the pollen into a small tube, I isolate a female from the rest and pollinate with a fine bristle artist paint brush and leave her away from the other ladies for 2 weeks but there's mamy different methods that one just works for me. good luck

Okay I will have to look into that. So they wont just naturally pollinate each other? Thanks again for your help!

oh yes they will but the last thing you want is pollen flying everywhere, I put the male indoors and let the flowers open, if you let nature take its course you'll probably pollinate them all with wind, insects etc but at least you'll have lots of seeds lol.... cheers

If you're sure that it can't pollinate any of your other plants from the other side of your property, then yes, putting a female beside him would result in natural pollination, especially is she's downwind of him. How far away from your other girls is he? If they're too close then @redeyedfrog has it right. Unless you have the space to put them side by side indoors with a fan on them, and don't mind spending a full day sterilizing your grow space after they're done.

I decided just to chop hom down :( He was about an acre away. Better safe than sorry I guess.
