How do I remove the males.

Ok, so I started flowering last week and this morning I am taking out the bastards. How do I deal with the roots. They are all sorts of tangled with my females. Oh yeah, I am running a DIY bubbleponics system. Any suggestions?

your roots should not be tangled with any other plant they should each be in there seperate spot

since they are tangle all i can say is good luck trying to get them untangle without hurting the females.(that is if they're not pollinated already)


u should not have left the males in there for a week(or did they just show male)

Buy tickets to your local sporting event and ask him to join you?

C'mon...you know the answer. kill the plant...remove as many roots as you can w/o doing any harm to female.

The males just started showing yesterday. For future grows how do I keep them from tangling together? So, just start cutting and get out as much as possible, suggestions on root rot since I am here might as well ask since its a possibility now.

Cut the males down, as close to the roots as you can get. Remove the plant from the room, the roots will eventually die off making them easier to remove from the "tangle".

In the future, keep your roots separate =)

pull out what you can and use an enzyme product to dissolve the rest of the dead root matter. veg seedlings separately from now on, and do clones together in hydro, then you have nothing to remove, and nothing to worry about

After this grow I have to change my setup for sure. I have no place to mess with clones right now. This is my first grow so I am learning a lot, and I have learned that my grow area blows.

you can do clones in a very small area. i can fit 120 clones in a 2x3 clone box. shoe boxes work very well for smaller numbers
