posted this on general growing, called the guy who sold me the male clones, got me thinking, just want to make sure.

"I know it's a dumb question, but i need your help. Bought eight clones and when i threw them into flower, five days later they were all male! I called the guy I got them from and he said they were all female and i put them in contact with some pollen? is that bs or what? It's my first grow, and I think he's wrong, but I don't know for sure, I need your help, +rep for technical help! please!"

Question for you,
Were they hermies or straight up males?

Clones are genetic copies of the mother plants. Now you could take female clones and turn them hermy by stressing them, but to my knowledge, you cannot polinate a clone... (how could you no flowers yet right?) So either he's growing hermies, or yours were, or they both are, it's nothing you 'did' to get males.

You can pollinate female clones, but his cuttings weren't even budding yet so that was out of the question.

If they turned hermie on you it's something you did to stress them or the strain he sold you was A very unstable strain. You say they were straight up males so in that case that guy is a scum bag bullshitter for selling you male clones.

yeah dude, the were male, and only male. But now i know it for sure with your guys back up opinions! Any way it's my first grow, i didn't know what i was looking at. I looked at a million pictures of what to look for. but when some douche, who knows it's your first time, tells you your wrong, when you know he's full of it, man what a lame situation.


the only thing that has made this situation better at all was riu, and the support of all you guys! lesson learned, and i'm already moving on, thank you everyone!

chill man, the site was down yesterday, or at least for me. the ne clones are doing good. Got four in five gallon pots, and the other four are in the clone dome to get a better root system before i transplant them. gonna be real slow right now until they're all in pots and growing!

looks good. The male problem i saw in your other post is pretty messed up. But for them to ALL be male either you messed up bad or the guy you got them from screwed you bad. Your box looks pretty good. But you are right, that bloom room is pretty dope but its gonna burn a whole right through your wallet into your leg... good luck man. hope to see updates

thanks man for the input. the bloom room cost $40 a month but will eventually yield 3/4lb every month and a half, i don't see where that's burning a whole in my wallet. the magnet ballast is energy efficient, and with the room only on 12/12, it doesn't use as much energy as you think. my veg setup is with 4- 4't-5 which uses like 1/20th the energy if i was using a MH setup, plus i'd have to keep that cooled! I mean no disrepect, but would just like to see where you justify my wallet getting burned, i felt more burned spending my money at a dispensiary!

Day six, hope everythings going ok out there for everybody, me, i can't complain. Day six of veg, or six days from getting the clones. Six are in pots now, the other two will be within four days. Kinda slow right now, but nothing to complain about! Excited about using the sunhine aggregate mix this time around, i like the thought of me controling the nutes. Don't get me wrong, FFOF is amazing, but this new soiless route costs 1/4 price, and i control the nutes the entire process. I would suggest FFOF for first timers b/c the only important thing would be PH ing your water for the first three weeks. the male clones are long gone now, and i have moved on, and slowed down. I have the babies under 24hrs of light this time around to speed it up, and take away the chance of hermie, light leak, headaches. Surprisingly they don't shrivel before they sleep, because they don't sleep, very interesting. But no ill effects noted from the 24hrs of light. Do you guys think i should start a new journal for this grow. i'm gonna get rid of the other signature/journal if i can, and start a new one i think. as always any comments are appreciated, take it easy!
