Here are 3 Lowryder #2 plants. Seeds were planted in dirt 28 days ago, emerged in about 4 days. Spent the next 7-10 days in a window till put in a cabinet w/300 watts cfl. Lights are on 24/0. First week in the cabinet we had a warm spell here for couple days & ambient temps went from the teens to 60+, the temp in the cabinet hit over 100 but I'm not sure for how long before I caught it & got it under control probably only an hour or two. Anyway they seem to be doing much better now. Much of the growth has been in the past couple days. Plant 1 & 3 are about 5" tall & plant #2 is about 6" tall.

Can anyone tell me what sex they are. I'm pretty sure #1 & #2 are males, but this is my first grow so I'd like a second opinion. Also I'm hoping to create seed from this first grow If I have more than 1 male which do you recommend I use for pollination?

Thanks

Thats what I thought, Thanks. How would you decide which one to use for pollen??

Here are some other pics of plant #3, but maybe she's not showing her sex yet. #1 & #2 just started showing in the past couple days.

I don't wanna sound like a dumbass, but wouldnt the female only start flowering once taken out of vegetative and into a 12/12 lighting cycle? Like a skunk type of plant? i dunno dont listen to me unless someone with more experience commments on what i said .

Well if you are just going for pot luck LOL ....


simply keep him in another zip code from the grils. i cut a peice of paper as to make a cone around the pot. this way pollen is diverted away from the soil. it falls to white paper at the base.

One mistake i made early on was not giving the male enough light, the pollen was collected but the seeds were piss poor, make sure he matures well i get the mid harvest pollen i find it to be to best for pollination.

Emilio - The strain growing here is Lowryder #2 which is an autoflowering strain, you can use just about any light cycle 18/6 or 24/0 are recommended all the way through from seed to harvest (9 weeks they say). No need for 12/12 flowering cycle. However you cant clone it, thus my desire to produce seed.

abudsmoker - I only have the one cabinet & am limited on available space. So hoping that #3 is a female shouldn't I eliminate one of the males (which one?) & then just let the male pollinate the female & once he's done destroy him & leave the female to have the cab all to herself. However if #3 turns out to also be a male, then collect pollen from the best one & try again with new seeds looking for a female to pollinate with the harvested polllen?

so what your trying to do is make your females have seeds correct? so you can keep using them? and growing? if so.. do that..

If not.. Get rid of the male NOW so it wont spread the pollon anywhere. Pollon + female plant = seeds ... Seeds = less THC potency of your plants.

Yeah thats right I want seeds/pollen with this grow, I know it'll diminish the quality & yield, but I want to be able to keep growing without shelling out $75 for 10 seeds constantly. So how do you determine which male to keep?

just some guy
why not just keep them both, so they can gangbang your female? :hump::hump:

Or, just choose the healthiest looking one.
