Smoky's Grow - 1st Timer - Need All The Advice I Can Get

#2 could be, and it's pyramid shaped it looks like, which is a good thing. Would be nice to get some 30x pics though.

Thinking about it, those other preflowers or whatever, those were off some seriously knuckled nodes. I have no idea if that's significant or not, but in the future you want to try and not do whatever it is you did, to super crop them like that unless you want to do it.

Yup. #1 is male

Emilya, what say you. I'm convinced those are little pollen sacks. What do you think. Is my only real practical option to just throw it away?

that is certainly what they look like. Practically, you can grow him out and collect his pollen. You will need to do this in an area away from your female plants. You can grow him out and turn him into oil... there is some evidence that there are some medical effects even from the male plant. You can grow him out and turn him into paper... hemp parchment seems to almost last forever. Or, you can do as I do, and add him and his rootball to your compost bin, so that nothing that was put into him is wasted, and he will go on later to provide nutrients for another plant.

There's a movie floating around about that. "Soylent Green"!

Emilya, you've been my go to for this whole thing. Nearly 2 months in. Do you say that's enough proof for you, that you'd pull it? Are you convinced it's male?

90% confidence... your pictures are a little fuzzy and they are still a bit small and presented at odd angles.

I'm about to have a bon fire... still got the other. I believe it's a girl. I know males show first

 

[Smoky da bear]

Well, it's gone. :'(

 

[Smoky da bear]

Well, the one and only is showing some hair

 

[Faic]

 

[Smoky da bear]

Dem hairs

 

[Emilya Green]

dems hairs, or pistils. Congratulations, its a girl!

 

[Smoky da bear]

Haha. Thank goodness. I'd have been devastated to have have 2 males.

Looks awesome. Nice light green coloring on the new growth. Deep luscious green on the older growth. Veins look good.
Very nice!

She's looking pretty good. Except one half of the plant, or at least two branchy limbs look cluttered and some what wilty.

the roots are getting a lot stronger now, good job!

 

[Smoky da bear]

Wonder why that half is so crowded and so much shorter

sometimes we never figure out why these things happen... soil was more compacted on that side or something, more perlite on the other side... who knows. Get that soil moving in the container using my watering method, and it will even out eventually.

Your watering method?
