I started about 40 seed bank seeds this year. Out of 10 W.W.'s, I've culled out 6 males already, and 2 more look like they have tiny male flowers. That leaves 2 unknowns, and one of them is a stunted little runt.
The odds of this happening seem low (intuitively and from past experience.)
This may be a stupid question but . . .Is there something about W.W. where females look like males at first? If I wasn't certain I'd have waited longer on each one before culling it out. I was very certain, but know I'm having doubts.
Other disappointments - A lot of my Chrystals died of the dreaded shriveling stem syndrome within 10 days of sprouting. Only 1 of 5 Trainwrecks (feminized) germinated and sprouted.
Between male plants and old stale seeds the seed banks appear to have gotten the best of me.
On a positive note, I have an Ice female that is 7 weeks old and 4' tall already.
