How do I assure female plants and no males?
Start with 10 regular seeds. Grow them all out and kill the males. Take cuttings from all the females and flower them out. Once you harvest pick the best one for your tastes and clone that mother plant for eternity. No males ever again.
I will probably sound like an idiot , but how do you clone the mother? Thanks for the tip.
Just taking and rooting a cutting of your female " mother" plant is considered cloning. Peace
There are quite a few articles (here and all over the web) that explains what increases seedlings to develop into females... like soil, hot versus cold temperature, lighting cycles, music, touch, chemicals, etc. I always start my seedlings in cold temps in basic grow soils like Happy Frog and have been lucky as over the years I always get a large female to male ratio (around 70-80% females).
That's the basic idea. There are techniques and products that increase your cuttings chance of survival. Do an internet search on how to take marijuana cuttings and find the style that fits your budget and skill level. Best of luck.Thanks! But let me get this clear. You are saying you can take a cutting of a branch and plant it in the soil? And it will grow?
