I recently started a new grow a few months ago with some basic bag weed seed and went through probably 30 seeds just to get my main 2 plants and then a back up for both ..
Popped a seed and a back up... 2 weeks later popped another and a back up...
Eventually a week before flower ( I did the entire 9 weeks of veg ) I started to see pre sexing starting to happen which let me know I was pretty much right on time. But the first to start showing was a male about 2 weeks ago, lil less probably...
And last week after I switched to 12 and 12... ( Probably going to drop it down to 11 so I can run my other tent, and to much power draw all at the same time throws my breakers repeatedly...
Anyways, so I ended up finding 2 more males... Now I've just got my female and a smaller clone tent with 7 clones of the males and have just switched to my second step cloning phase before I end up just taking the dip off to dry them out and for better lighting.. ( I still mist them several times a day after this point too ) but anyway I already cleaned up about 40% or so of her leaves last week and tightened up the rest of her tonight cleaning out between nodes and everything up until just above where my first half of lollipoping raised her foliage up to last week... Then I went to tying her back down to spread her back out.. I untied everything a week or 2 before switchin over to let the plant have some release and let her try to decide her own path for a little while so the tie down would be another form of last when I started her up again..
Any so now finally to the part I need some more insight on... And I'm pretty sure not just everyone is going to know a legit answer to this question... In fact I'm pretty sure I already know most of the answers I'll get which is probably going to be.... Don't do it... But this is something legit I've heard a few times from some big names in our grow society... But upon doing the research to try and find out truths behind it online or even over YouTube I have literally not found even one more insight onto the topic..
So here it goes...
I have heard that when a female is in flower and knows there's no way she's going to be pollinated out in the wilds that she will often Hermie just to self pollinate and provide a future offspring..
This I've heard alot and most growers know... Others know of Hermie's and just know that's not what they want...
But what I've been hearing a few times in this last 3 or 4 months right before I started the grow and onwards... Like I said maybe 3 or 4 times at least I've heard this and it is:
That a female that knows it's near a male will also act similar to how a male does (by genetics and by choice) by trying to grow Fuller get bigger and faster because it also wishes to be pollinated... Males do it instinctually because like a male human they want to be bigger n have their chest poke out all big n strong n be the first to get the girl...
But is it true:
That in the presence of a male plant females might also similarly do the same thing......
Cuz I have a tent with at let another 4 males and as long as there not progressing to far I thought why not just take the furthest one along and instead of just shredding it why not put it back in with the female for another 2 maybe 3 days then shred it.. give it a day or 2 by herself and then replace with another male n so forth until they are gone...
I already know seeds are bad, lol definitely don't need more seed in a bag seed collection off the street and no genetics behind it...
But will it work or not... Should I test the theory and chance it or would you as well if this information was something you thought could be possible trash them and not give it the shot...
Let me know what you think
And what you think you'd do if presented with this knowledge and opportunity to try,
I'm not going to screw her up she doesn't have to much of a leg on it so if I don't get enough indefinite answers sayin hell yeah I've heard that or hell yeah I'd try it for sure or something I'm probably going to trash them anyways, but I literally have days to decide these males are pushing even without switching their light cycles.. lol
