sounds good, cant' wait. I got two new clones today, afgan, (or they say, CA dispensieries) gonna start a new thread. Chopped all of those males this morning. Just in case they were female, i through the mother plants in the bloom room, they'll tell me in a couple of days if it's chop time for them too! wish me luck!

i know, that's why i kept the mother's, they're in the bloom room now. I was just worried about the seed pod, how far did you let the "male looking" plants go in flower until they started to show white hairs, or buds, or female sex?

four weeks in 12/12 flower? thay didn't show any white hairs? or why did you think they were male? did they have pollen sacs like mine?

did any of the sacks open? did you ever see white hairs? well i guess you had to if they flowered. Starting to regret the chop, ill definitely shoot you picks of the mothers once the start to show sex. It's weird b/c i went to the guys house where i got the clones and there were two whit hairs stcking out of most joints. So frustrating, because if the ones i have left start to show sacs, ill be scared again that they infest, hermie pollenate, or should i be?

I grow some bag seed and they showed sex under 19/5. Look for a single pear shaped gland, the Calyx. Some of mine have the pods, but no hairs, while others have them and hairs. I'm assuming when I switch to 12/12 soon the hairs will emerge, we shall see. Multiple bumps (not pear shaped) with no pistils usually indicates males.

totally, man. how much you lollypop is up to you, (30% of bottom, 50% of bottom), just knowing that the light will only penetrate 12-18" through the top of the plant. I would only lollypop right before or a week after you start bloom, depending on the bloom-harvest time. probably before bloom if you don't know the projected bloom time. a lot of people i see do this, wait a week or two, then do another trimming on what's not getting enough light, hope this helps.
