last few weeks i watered my plants in the dark period, exposing them to 10-20 mins ( a few times like 40 mins ) low level light about 7 or 8 hours through the photo period.
They are DWC 26 days flowering, one plant, probably an ounce on the plant with. ( one plant grow with 150-250 hps ) They have been putting on trichomes for about a week.
The strain is ambrosia - Jordan of the islands
two days ago i found some male flowers and was shocked. they are only present at the bottom of the plant.
They are only on the lower most node of each bud that i have found them on.
the buds they appeared on for the most part had very little light expose. ( 3-4 layers of canopy above or under stem)
There are no male flowers present through out the buds that they had appeared on the bottom node. There were also no male flowers found on upper buds at all.
The water evaporated and i went a little over my PPM mark, But only from 1000-1300. 5 days ago.
I am wondering if i accidentally stressed them out into producing male flowers, or if it is in the genetics? If it is in the genetics i am going to be very pissed of at the Seed breeder Jordan of the Islands.
That being said i am interested to know if you can tell the difference between the two phenomenons.
I clipped all the buds that had male flowers, im sure a few poped and im going to have some hermi or preferably female seeds. I had not trimmed the bottom and had a lot of undergrowth. for the most part i only left larger bud sites. I ripped the shit out of my plant ( left only the top buds, got a single layer canopy, but still thick)
If i baby this plant, stop violating its nap time, low-medium nutrients, dimmed heating lighting/ heat ect... will the male pre-flowers gro back? If the cause of the male flowers is genetic obviously the flowers should return , but is the same true for stressed plants / light leak?
Can i use this observation to determine if it is genetic or environmental in cause?
Thank you for your input, any speculation or wisdom is welcome.
Ps. i have supersilverhaze female x ambrosia male in soil in the corner just throwing out hairs for the last week. So if it is good pollen im in for a treat.
Pss. i am posting this in two threads plant problems and advanced growing as it is relevant to both. mods do your worst.
