So today I was watering my plants and noticed some white powder on some leafs of one plant. Upon more careful inspection I found about 6 or 7 male flowers that opened up(I think they are male, first time grower. Can someone please confirm.

Now what?

Should I remove the one plant very carefully and leave the rest or just leave the bitch in the grow box. I included a pic of the cola on her. I am 28 days since the 12/12 switch.

Thanks

Consider the bitch bagged.

Will this ruin the rest of the plants. The male flowers were pretty low on the plant. This is so frustrating after all the work and money spent on equipment.

auxins will prevent a plant from growing seeds... Don't know how easy it is to get but that will do the job.. Dutch master has something called "reverse" that is supposed to stop seeds from growing, Alot of people "claim" that is works. Are they fem'd seeds?

Gold Range REVERSE

FOLIAR SPRAY - USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

All Black Bottle product usage instructions are the same as the equivalent Gold Range product usage instructions.


Available in:
1 Litre, 5 Litres

  • Male Flowers Causing Headaches & Ruining Your Crop?
  • What An Ugly Sight! Every Growers Worst Nightmare!
  • Simply Spray Gold Range REVERSE With The Lights On – It’s That Easy!
  • No Dilution Required. Ready To Spray – Just Add Gold Range SATURATOR!
You’ve heard the rumours……… Well it’s true! Experience for yourself what “those in the know” have been talking about. Gold Range REVERSE is the latest design in ‘unwanted-flower’ foliar sprays and follows on from our world renown original REVERSE that was designed by our in-house Plant Physiology and Biochemistry scientists.

Gold Range REVERSE is a ready to use (no dilution required) foliar spray that quickly and efficiently helps to bring peace to a grower’s worst nightmare…. awful seed problems! The unique formulation enables Gold Range REVERSE to help reduce that headache!

Modern science allows Gold Range REVERSE to achieve this remarkable feat by its beneficial effects on the Mesophyll layer of the plant. This layer is responsible for most of a plants energy production (photosynthesis) and more importantly is the starting point of all the metabolic pathways. Simply put, the selected minerals provide your plants with the vigour they need to channel the correct metabolites in the pathways responsible for flowering, helping to correct any imbalances.

End result for you when you use Gold Range REVERSE... LESS MALE HEADACHES!

Note: Gold Range REVERSE will not turn a male plant into a female plant.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
For best results, see our Growers Tips and use the online Nutrient Calculator for an individualized interactive feeding program to suit your needs.

To use Gold Range REVERSE, simply follow these easy guidelines!

  1. As a preventative aid, spray your plants the first time as required (usually approx 7 days into flower cycle) and once again 10 days later OR can be used at the first sight of trouble by spraying with Gold Range REVERSE immediately and once again 10 days later.
  2. DO NOT DILUTE WITH WATER - Pour the amount of Gold Range REVERSE you need into a spray bottle. Typically 500 ml / ½ quart is enough for one application for the average sized garden.
  3. * Important * Add Gold Range SATURATOR to undiluted Gold Range REVERSE at the rate of 10 ml / 2 teaspoons per litre / quart only! A 500 ml / ½ quart spray bottle will require 5 ml / 1 teaspoon of Gold Range SATURATOR and a 250 ml / 8 oz spray bottle will require only 2.5 ml / ½ teaspoon of Gold Range SATURATOR.
  4. Gently shake the spray bottle with the solution to make sure it is well mixed.
  5. * Important * - you must spray the solution within 15 minutes of adding Gold Range SATURATOR!
  6. Make sure your lights are a minimum of 24 inches from the tops of your plants then spray your plants until the leaves are evenly coated with the spray solution and a small runoff occurs. MAKE SURE YOU AVOID SPRAYING THE GLOBES / BULBS. You only need to spray the top surface of the leaf because Gold Range SATURATOR will deliver absolutely everything inside the leaf using the top surface only. If you needed to raise your lights to spray, you may lower them back down after 30 minutes, as all the solution will be absorbed into the leaf within this time.

I'm pretty sure that if it really works then it has some sort of auxins in it, can't find a ingredient list

Yeah they are female seeds. I removed the plant and checked the others and found no male flowers so far. I am a little familiar with the dutch master nutes.I am using dutch master gold line with add 2.7 for flower.

yea that sucks man. thats def a hermie plant, and it has definatly been spraying pollen, you got a few options,

Leave it: get herb with seeds
remove the hermie, grow it elsewhere: get herb from the other plants (with some seeds) and all the seeds from the hermie plant should be feminized.
carefully go and cut off the male pollen sacks: and if you get them all...
or try what Max is saying.

either way, the bud isnt ruined, it jsut gonna have some seeds lol

I took the plant out of the grow room and will be getting rid of it all together. I will get the gold range saturator and reverse and give the remaining plants a spray. This is my first grow so I used femenized seeds thinking it would be easier. I got 5 northern lights fem seeds and 10 aurora indica fem seeds from Nirvana sitting in my fridge ready for the next grow. Hopefully they won't go hermie on me.

Can you put it somewhere else and not kill it?? If the plant only throws a couple of male flowers(99% female) ,it should produce fem seeds only .

I have no where else to put it so I got rid off it. I am just growing for personal use so my operation is not that big. It would be nice to get some fem seeds that don't hermie. I don't stress the plants and I have no light leak. I got some nirvana fem seeds and planning on doing a scrog next grow because I have only 5 feet in height and thats not including the light.

a plant that hermi's tends to produce seeds that hermi.. Unless you caused it to hermi by stress, light leak, fucking up the light cycly or something along the sort

male seeds have the x and y cromosomes.
female seeds have the x and x cromosomes.
when your x and x female plant is environmentally stressed (battered wife) she can change to x and y his and hers (i am the fucking boss in this house male) cromosome, hermie.
feminized seeds have the x cromosome only (hardened bitch) to stress her you would have to put a gun to her head and pull the trigger, in otherwords she wont hermie with a few slaps, you would have to shoot her in the back, chest and head and she might just get mad before she kicks the fucking bucket.

female seeds are what they are......
buy feminized genetically grown in a lab (not female) seeds only.
and use a reputable trusted seed bank.
remember you only get what you pay for in this world.
you wouldn`t pay a couple of bucks for a prostitute would you, she would be a pretty fucking sight if you did, and she might turn out to be a hermie too..... and it might not be you that ends up doing all the fucking..... ouch!

reminds me of when paddy went to court and got fined 100 bucks for shagging a goat and his mate mick got fined 200 bucks for acting the goat.

femenized seeds
you wont hermie those little hardened criminal bitches, they would suck you dry and slap you senseless if they were human.

so give them a few bitch slaps back during the growth period to thicken their little stems and try to stick to the grow rules, these plants will allow for mistakes but will only take so much.

remember if you want to produce your own feminized seeds you then buy female seeds (not feminized), say female diesel, and upset the light cycle thus producing a hermie plant, you can then pollinate a female plant with the pollen say a female x-line, you will now get feminized seeds from this plant which will be diesel cross x-line feminized.

now you have feminized hard to hermie seeds wink.
with only the x cromosome. and you can call them something like diesel x fire feminized.

see how easy it is when you put it in to laymans terms.
