Yesterday they were fine...Misinformation!

No as I said all I seen were the innards and just a few. They were where the pistils should have been.

And I pulled them out.
Which you can clearly see if on the pictures the missing spaces on the branch

I've been watching and I see nothing more on the plant.
Nor do I see anything else on the other.

Well I would say it's too late.
1. One already opened
2. I moved the branches around
3. I shook that tree around like hell transplanting it

I do have to say though that other than the first. The few others were immature. They were still very green in comparison to the first.

if it was a sac then its way too late now..
i think its a case of fingers crossed then, good luck

That photo clearly shows that is a male flower.

If you have messed with it it has now pollinated the females in close proximity.

If the plant has female flowers also then it is what is known as a "hermie".

The male flowers can be picked off if you catch them in time and they won't affect the others. It is very difficult however to find every male flower on most hermies.

Seeds are not a crop failure but I would get rid of that plant if it were in my garden.

Keep reading and working and you will be TOKIN soon.

Well...I'd get rid of it but it looks fine other than the initial things I seen.

However I'm not completely discounting my vision nor the teeny bit of knowledge I've obtained from all of you folks.

Plus the plant was sitting or standing rather next to the definitely all female plant...spilled milk so to speak.

I'm hoping I'm just an idiot and don't know what the hell I was looking at and all will be well in grow land and the results will pan out.

Once again, that is a male plant and if you like smoking lawn clippings then that will work out quite well.

UGH!
Okay I'll post some more pictures tomorrow with the new growth and see what the consensus is.

If it's a male or Hermie I wouldn't imagine one more day is going to make much of a difference.

It will be 6 weeks into flower on Monday anyway so a few days earlier shouldn't matter much.

Pictures taken tonight.
As you can see so far the plant looks fine & female and I don't see any signs of those other things. I really believe it was because the plant was stressed. Just my opinion.

They look happy enough. I don't see any males in the pictures so you got a hermie amongst yer stash.

How long have they been flowering?

What kind of light are they under?

Like I said they look happy enough, a little streched, but happy and green.

They have been flowering 5 weeks...6 weeks on Monday.
Yeah that particular plant is pretty stretched. I have no idea why. It just grew like a bean pole. I was keeping the lights too far away initially. But fixed that pretty quick with the suggestions of several. Burnt the poor leaves in a few place too...lights too close as you can see.
They are under 2700k grow florescent and full spectrum, along with several cfl's.

You got the keeping alive part down pretty good. I think you need alot more light. How many watts total?

This is a pretty fun hobby but you can sure dump a lot of cash quick.

I am starting a hydro setup and am having a blast.

A lot of great info on the world wide web. Not like the old days when everything you could find out was in a book that you ordered from High Times magazine.

Your kidding more light. Well they are growing the way they are...I've got 2 plants they are under:
4 32 watt fluorescent
3 60 watt grow lights ( I know I know i've seen everyone says they are bad bad but I've seen a ton of new growth with these things...it's a shame I broke 2 of them.
1 65 watt cfl
2 23 watt cfl

Total wattage: 419 watts for 2 plants.


Hehehhe
Got the keeping them alive part is funny.

Just keeping a plant alive for 6-10 weeks till flower is an accomplishment. Especially if at the end of that time they are still nice and green. with their fan leaves all stretched out like yours are.

It may be just the strain you are growing that streches like that, it will be really hard to get those to fill in well.

If you spent those same 400 watts on an HID you would get way more for the same money.

Thank you
In total the plants are 15 weeks or 3 months...welll almost on Monday.


As to the HID, well I spent the money I did over a period of time in comparison to coming up with it all at once.

I tied both of the plants down ( I see ya all call it LST) a wee bit to get more light to certain areas of the plants tonight. We'll see if they like that or not, I'm sure in the next few days I'll notice any changes.

I checked out your journal...pretty impressive.
Good Luck with your grow, I'm sure you won't need it...you seem to know what your doing.

Thanks for the compliment, I have been growing outdoors and indoors with soil for about thirty years, but this is my first try at hydro ever.

Funny you should mention LST. I am a big fan of LST because you get the bottom shoots to grow just like you topped the plant, only without the initial stress and slow down that topping causes.

I am posting a pic of the Bubblegum plants that I just bent over Friday night about an hour before lights out. You can already see the secondary nodes taking off.

As for spreading out the cost, I started assembling equipment about six months ago for this grow op and I hope it pays off.

Keep up the good work.

P.S. Everyone needs luck.

Japedo , I think you got a "hermie" if as you posted , you were playing with your / it's balls and this pale powder came off , that IS the pollen, and now you have two healthy plants that will produce bud WITH seeds , no sensimillia.
Look at the bright side , you'll never need to buy any seeds !

Well how can you tell if it's developing seeds?
Dumb ? but I'll look it up later. It's probably around here somewhere. I'll take a lookie see.

I guess I didn't need to clone then.

hmm at what age can you start LSTing?
I ask because I've got some pretty damn tall clones already and I just buried some more of the stems. But it's still growing like a bean pole just like it's mother had. Well all of em are that I took from that plant. I don't want to bury it anymore, I'm worried as it is it will get rotted but I do have to say the stem is good and strong almost like that of a stick. But I buried at least or more than half of the stem again. I do have to say it grew nice and rooty.
The shorter of them all, which I believe I got from the other plant is really small yet...it's established very little root in comparison to the others.

They are two weeks today. I did cut the flowering off of em...probably not a good thing but I did so anyway. They still look good and healthy...although...I do have to say I handicapped one I accidentally cut it's other leaf off.

Ooops! I probably wasn't very clear it had continued in flowering mode and started to flower pretty much right from the get go...so chop...chop.

Well I can see kpw your plant is maybe 3 weeks old if you consider the light your using. I'll wait another week I guess. This time I notice with mine there is no room between the nodes at least so far it is only the 2nd week and that is with one plant so we'll see. (the fast growing one in the bunch with no crippling )
I'm experimenting with light too. I did 18/6 for a few days and then 12/12 for a few (until I seen they had established good roots). I left them on 18/6 and I was considering 24/0 (thinking possibly more growth, but i rethought this and believe as in anything and i'm sure it's the same in the plant kingdom, we all need a rest to recoup from a day of hard work).
I'll be posting pics tomorrow of everything. For now I have some more research to do. I've spent way too much time here and I'm probably going to wind up spending most of my day here again

Yes and we all need a wee bit o' luck.

Well I guess I'll be finding out soon if my plants are full of seed since I discovered tonight my plant is probably ready to harvest.
Oh or maybe not. Dammit knowing shit is the shit. It can make it all very confusing. But I do see a good bit of some of the pistils turning amber but then I see a good bit of the white as well. So probably much more time. I'll post the pictures tomorrow and I guess maybe I can ask then.
