Need a few suggestions! HELP!

Safe to say this is a male pre flower? Also, what would be the best way to remove this plant out of a net pot, if I have another plant growing in the same reservoir? Root ball is pretty massive, I'm afraid of damaging the other plants' roots. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Yes, its a male. Good luck on that, that is why you always have plants separated.

Let it grow!! Seeds are great fun and it's not like your not going to get any good bud out of . You will just have some seeds as a bonus LOL I love seeds.

Maybe collect some pollen and play around with breeding. Growing is more than just buds. Have fun with it.

Yeah you could actually cut the male down to the lowest viable node then cut off one of the lateral branches to just leave one little lateral branch to collect pollen from and keep the root mass alive. If you stay on top of it and cut off a majority of the male flowers before they mature you could probably get away with not seeding the female too much.

You can separate them, but it takes a bit of time and a bathtub. Good luck if you go that route. On a better note that is the best preflower picture I have ever seen posted on this site.

I decided to chop the male down, but left the roots in the res. Im 9 days or so into flowering and I can tell that my Papaya strain is female. Would it stress my plant too much to take cuttings and just try to essentially use it as a mother plant? Would those clones have a chance of becoming Hermies? Have an aero garden with neoprene collars for them to sit in. It is wrapped to keep the heat and humidity up. It's a good system and has a high success rate with cheap rooting gel.

Bucees: Its amazing what an iPhone 5 camera can do!

Hope the dying root mass of the male doesn't cause you problems. I've chopped a male and left the roots in the bucket before out of curiosity, it took a few weeks before they started dying off and breaking apart... Come back and update the thread if you can remember.

I am all about bean collecting!
