I have been unable to get a straight answer on this so I am asking everyone's opinion. Thanks for your help!
Say you have 1 large plant that was around 6-7 weeks flowering with nice full buds and about 50% of pistils dead, all of a sudden she grew between 5 and 10 small MALE flowers. (no loupe or microscope is available)
What would you do????
Pick off all of the male flowers you can find, hope that the pollen is not viable, keep an eye on her, and let her go to 8-10 weeks.
OR
Chop her down so that you don't risk pollinating her or another plant in the area.
BTW, I know plants can throw some male flowers at the end in order to preserve itself, but some say the pollen is usually not viable?? I want some facts here. I'm reading through so much BS I just want straight answers.
Keep in mind that these male flowers are ONLY on the smaller inside popcorn buds and have not affected any of the large colas and there are no seeds yet from what I can tell. There have been no male flowers at all on the plant until recently, and I have not seen any that are open yet.
Any input would be appreciated.
