what i mean is as i was cutting him down the female trees were budding and producing seed and growing fast at the start of budding as well, the follow week with no male and same sunshine water etc... they had pulled back growth and i haddnt touched them only removed their lover boy. its like they were a happy familly and then a murder killed the male
so it must be beneficial to growth to leave the male alive??? and seed the whole bush
but you'd have the means to make more, I grow my own seed its rewarding trust me on that one
yeh i've allways killed my males as every one says to, but last grow i was down to my last seeds and left one male alive for a couple of months, to do his job, now i got seeds everywhere, but missed out on heaps of bud, i thouht by removing the male i would get half seed half bud, but the group of girls all slowed down growth as soon as he was gone, and i was carefull not to interfer with the girls at that time. i presume if it had been an indoor grow they would have given me what i want, but as it was outside they gave up the ghost
i think it happened the other way round, they were happy making seed and then were told to bud, and didnt respond the way i wanted or had seen previously.
It's my theory that if left unpollinated the female cannabis flowers will produce more trichomes as a last ditch effort to attract pollinators to the pistils, such as bees, moths and butterflies. These creatures donot have advanced central nervous systems as we humans do. So they lack the receptors that is needed for cannabinoids. Thus, they don't get high, but they enjoy the sweet fruity essence of the blooms. If the female cannabis plant does get pollinated cannabinoid production slows or stops, in order to provide vital nutrients for healthy viable seeds. And your garden is fucked!
dude ranch.... how far away does a dude ranch need to be?? bugs can fly
i thought you guys had it easy over there, can't you just grow em small at home first and just put a few girls out late in the season
