ya dude you went through all that effort might as well let it finish and atleast make some hash from it 
i forget how long males take to mature but its alot faster then females. but theres your lesson not to grow 1 random seed if you absolutey have to grow just 1 itd be worth it to buy a couple fem seeds. more then 1 just incase you get a dud lol

thanks everyone. i thought about keeping him going and make some hash or something, but I really want some bud! I did keep him and let him cure while wait to start the next grow. I dont have the money for any fem seeds, or anything like that, but this next time I am starting 2 or 3, so I should have some better odds. I think I am going to stay away from the 24/0 schedule this time though. But everyone states that is un-natural, but if you think about it the way most of us grow is somewhat un-natural. But it goes to show the resilience of mother nature, to be able to adapt to 24/0 sun, or being forced to flower and the abrupt light changes.
thanks for the condolances and +rep chickengutz, i appreciate the compliments on the plant too
Now lets burn one down...

that was actually 1 plant, lst'ed, and fim'ed, lots of satelites. turned out male, so i pulled him. it was from some bag of smoke I picked up, so i dont know the strain, the bag was pretty good though, so I am sure growing my own would be great.

[QUOTE="SICC";3530604]Yea man from what i have been hearing there is alot of different opinions on 24/0, i dont like it, i go strait to 18/6, maybe the furst days until they pop up but thats it[/QUOTE]
thats a good idea sicc, i may just do the first few days of 24/0 and once they pop i will turn 18/6. that shouldnt put to much stress on them. your grow is going good, whats your thought on yiled this close to harvest?

heyyy mann... sorry to hear about that.. yeaaa ive been creeping on your thread for a while now.. just readin but not really postin anything.. lol.. but ecerything was looking good mann.. im sory to hear its a male.. i know how you feel.. i grew 4 plants.. and they ALL sprouted white hairs everywhere!! and i was sooo happy... then.. seemed like over night!! balls started showing up everywhere!!! and i ended up with 2 hermies.. one smaller plant i LST's that lookes like shit... and another plant.. that looks really good.. but the white hairs seem to just be staying the same length...?? lol.
but while they were growin.. i started 6 other seeds.. and surprisingly.. they ALL sprouted.. soo right now ive got 6 more growin.. and im hoping that they ALL dont turn out to be hermies.... but yeaa i woiuld just plan ahead for it.. and grow like 2 or 3.. cuz from what i saw.. you sure can grow a nice looking plant.. i can only imagine if that plant was a female...!!! deff let us know when you start your new grow.. and also.. i think you should try 20-4 lighting.. ive always used 24-0... but im starting to think that maybe it is too much light... and they may need a little break.. and it will cuz down on my electricity bill. lol Good Luck!!

I've read light stress can hermie plants.. this means intense or uneeded light and unroutine schedules18/6 seems to be the best
i think the 24h schedule is good for the first week or so to get them started. mine seemed to do great and im about positive 2 are female so far. i see a couple tiny what im pretty sure are hairs here and there. i think the whole causes for males thing is a conspiracy 
ive put plants through damn near death and still had females

yeah, lst'ing filled my little box up. i have a cool idea for the next one, since my containers are smaller and there will be 2, hopefully, seeds are taking forever to germ. i will keep everyone posted. I am still undecided for light. a lot of people have successful grows on 24/0. i am thinking 1 week of 24/0, 1 week of 18/6, then on to 12/12. i may do a week of 15/9 between 18/6 and 12/12. this may seem un-natural to some, but here on the east coast the sun changes over 2 months. so it seems more natural to gradually change. i dont think it will hurt. my last one was way more stunned from other things and me learning how to work an indoor. i think this one will be much better.
