My crop was 6 plants of bagseed sticky, 5 of which are male, and 1 of them isn't showing any sex.

than it looks like you are probably gonna end up with 1 female because most of the time but not all the time females show sex a little later but its not a sure thing. so keep your head up.

man, are you all kinds of unlucky. about a 10% chance of getting 5 males and a 2% chance of all males. did you kill someone in a previous life???

dude i had the exact same problem. 6 plants planted, 5 males and thank god i ended up with my biggest plant being a female. and yeah the female showed its sex last out of all the plants but at the same time some of the males showed their sex weeks before others. just keep an eye on it and pray as much as i did

Keep your fingers crossed for a girl.... you only need one and you can clone her :D

P.S.... It's not an epic fail... there is nothing you can do about a plants gender. The fact that you grew them outside and they didn't die on you is a testament to your ability to grow. Keep on growing... they won't all be males all the time :mrgreen:

if your planning on smoking the bud by yourself one good sized female is enough to keep you satisfied for a while. theres nothin compared to smoking your own homegrown pot.

stays relevant.
How many plants turned out? ZERO POINT ZERO. LOL

It's okay bro this stuff happens all the time. Just keep with it, you will get it. But please post pics if you can so we can confirm your issues.

I'm hoping my last one is a female, but how would she survive the winter for next years crop? And my boys are pretty obvious, just huge clusters of balls and so sign of pistils

if you havent chopped the males down you might wanna do so asap cause theyll pollinate the females making the bud seedy and unpotent

Go cut a couple lower branches and get your clones going now.
They will root faster if you do it before she shows sex.
you can keep a couple of clones alive and small for a very long time under one compact floro light inside a rubbermaid tote.
if this sounds like something youre interested in, just reply and i can give some further advice/instructions.
I grew 27 plants from seed in 1 tupperware tote. I them grew to bout 7 inches, sexed them, killed the males, then reverted back to veg. Then i cut 100 clones from my 14 remaining mothers, and nursed them in another tote. The whole process took about 4 months. I live in a small 1 bedroom apt., and both totes fit in one side of my tiny closet.
YOU CAN DO IT. Dont give up. youre one little girl gonna bring you a bumper crop next year.

I could definitely use some help, because that sounds like a great idea... what are the supplies I would need to do that?

i just checked my plant (pulled the 5 males) for the first time in 2 weeks, and found like 8 pistils sticking out of the top of each node, and the nodes are completely covered with crystals and purple. Looks like this is not a total waste of time :blsmoke:

you need a couple 60 to 100 gal totes. Like rubbermaid storage totes.
go to the local home depot and buy some cheap light sockets. cut holes in the top of the tote for the fixtures, and wire them to a cord and plug. go buy the brightest compact florescent bulbs they have and you have a grow box. Start your mothers from seed, or you can cut some clones off your girls now. just keep topping the mothers as they grow into the lights. I grew my mothers until they had about 8 good clones i could harvest. I cloned 6 branches and left two good ones so i could sex the mothers. I used very small peat pots for the clones so i could fit a bunch in but you can use whatever size fits your needs. I used three 100 watt equivalent cfl per tote,
and painted the inside of the totes white. dont paint the bottom white though, long story, just dont.
Thats about it
If you need help wiring there is growbox instructoins on the growroom/DIY section of RIU
GOOD LUCK MAN
