LST too stressful?

Every time I LST I get a male. Anyone else get this? Or am I just cursed not to have a mother plant?

No cause I sex them or wait until they sex themselves before I do any lst. No sense in doing any serious work on the plant if it is male. Try that.

wot is lst?

Low Stress Training. Long story short - it's just keeping the main stem and branches tied down, cuases dense, even, growth.

think you just had some bad luck man, but i agree with wax, why put that much effort into it that soon, but i kinda understand, male or female, you still love your babies. you could also sex them young, weed out the males, and reveg. while lst-ing.

Man, I'm scared of revegging, STRESS STRESS STRESS!

you will already know the sex, so you dont have to worry about stress effecting the sex of the plant.

Stress can cause hermaphroditic traits! And thats like a slap in the face!

I think you might be a bit too worried bout stress. Weed plants from my experience can handle more than you think. I once had a plant that started with a normal light bulb for the entire first month of it's life! It was so lanky it could have touched the moon. I got it under correct conditions and it turned around and turned female by month 2. I think you might just be unlucky with this. If you think you have alot worse luck than others, buck up and order fem seeds or find a person you know with a fem plant and take cuttings.

Ok, I'm really shocked. Its not a male, its a hermy. Strange thing is, the bottum half of the plant has male/female flowers. The top of the plant is all female, no signs of male plant at all!
