they should be my mate. Be carful not to cause any of the pods to open prematurely. When you notice the pods opening, take one cluster and cut them off carefully sealing them in an air tight bag or container. Kull the male plant immediately,then dispose of it accordingly. Keep the UNOPENED cluster of pods refrigerated. When you would like to pollinate, use a small tipped paint brush to break the pods open and lace the brush hairs with the pollen. Use this to pollinate a SPECIFIC branch on a female. As long as you are precise with all of these directions you can harvest a whole plant of bud and one branch with seeds.

Nice tidbit.

@cherokee420
Welcome indeed, if the male pollinated the females then I'd just plant those seeds again. If a herm pollinated, you got some herm genetics in there and some good genetics. If you have no other seeds it's worth planting and watching closely. Let the seeds mature so you have a viable next season or indoor grow. Next grow watch for the slightest signs of nanners and ditch.

In this case I'd plant a lot and hope for a few.

I was thinking (been told i shouldn't do that much), about what could possibly be stressing plants out, aside from intense heat this past two weeks. I know my nutes are good, in fact i tend to under feed but not to extent of noticeable. My water has been tested, looks good for well water.. The main window (about 5ftx6ft) in my place is 8 feet away from the nearest plant that turned male, and about 12ft awat from the other. Could turning on the kitchen light or watching tv late hours after sundown cause issues? What about during flower? Thinking I may have to mylar off those windows.

if its a recurring light interruption it could cause stress, leading to herm. However only you can judge whether the light is bright enough to cause this. Standing where your plants are during dark period; Can you see your hand in front of your face, can you read writing with the light that is leaking in? If not you should be ok, it wouldn't hurt to Mylar or black and white poly sheeting but if you can get away with not doing it.....

RIP big mama..

I saved some pods and cloned two, in hopes of getting a tent soon and putting them in a different room. I don't think I got a good amount of pollen/pods. This was a huge plant for its age. One thing I noticed was the pods formed at the top, instead of the bottom area of the plant. Could parts of the bottom have been cloned, and possibly became female? It appeared totally female up until recently when I started suspecting something, at about 3 months of age.
