im not experienced with male plants as i grow fem seeds only but my dad just forcing me to grow his outdoor reg seed plants in my tent with my fem plant. i checked them both out doesn't seem to be any signs of pests so far but i've seen the sex's and too me both the plants i took look 100% male. even showed it to him and he told me "NOT.. it's too early to tell" im like bruh i've grown more female plants i know what to look for lol.

i just took them in anyways as curious to see how they grow and if my fem plant seeds idgaf really it's not what i want but not the end of the world either. anyways WHEN is it too late to remove them? the balls look fairly small atm they might reveg as well because they went from outside to indoors outside can't even get 12/12 per day.

i mean obviously before they open up but i was wondering is there any harm to like keep them in the tent knowing they are males before they open up at all incase pollen comes out? i have a fan blowing on the plants in the tent thats why

Dude, remove them now! It's never too early to pull male plants, and it's never a good idea to bring outside plants into your grow space!

Hate to say, but your dad's an idiot when it comes to growing! I suggest keeping both him, and his plants, very far away from yours!

If you try to pull the males, and they're already touchy, they can shower your remaining plz ts with pollen. Then you'll get seeds growing wherever it lands. I would throw garbage bags over the males, and tie them at the bottom. Then, remove them gently.

From my experience, you have like a week or less once you're 100% sure it's a boy and you see the pollen sacks stacking...

I had one of mine turn Hermie, after some stress. Right when I noticed, I pulled it, and pollen started flying everywhere. I ended up with a light amount of seeds in my other three, where the pollen was able to land. Not many, and luckily I didn't end up losing yield or potency.

im pretty certain they are males i've grown only females and have never seen any females growing these and they look exactly like sacs. i just left um inside like fuck it i only got 1 seed of this strain so it is hit or miss regardless and i would love to get more seeds of this strain but it was a freebie. just gonna let it run as is.

yea my dad isn't very experienced or he doesn't want to admit they are males cause he grows a LOT of males lol. they didn't even open up yet they are just starting to grow the sacs and the sacs are super tiny as well but i'll try and get pics up if yall want.

See all 3 have these like i said i dont grow males but i have NEVER seen any females growing shit like that thus i am fairly certain they are all males. plus look how round those mfers are. im just growing um in the tent to prove a point to him. they are also leggy af but like i said that could be just from the lack of sunlight we get outdoors but from what i read males tend to grow taller to begin with.

With males, you'll see green nuts before they turn yellow/tan so that gives you like 3-6 days to get them out. Better to pull them the second you see it though.

Green clean works nicely for bringing outdoor plants in but in hawaii, its never fool proof.

HOT af all day everyday lmfao. idk where you live but i live on Oahu and in a hot area the coolest part of our house is actually our backyard but it gets very little amount of sunlight per day but it constantly breezy back there. if i open up all my vent holes and holes for the tubing it gets cooler and if i open the tent doors it'll drop the temps by at least 3-4 degree's.

temps are not too bad tbh for vegging but flowering it's hell. doesn't help that i only got 1 fan in the tent as well been meaning to get more fans but for now setup is gonna stay as is. will be growing outdoors hopefully soon if they legalize in 2020/2021 like they said they were.
