Am I in the clear?

[Ramm]

Hi folks!

I have 16 plants on the go in an aeroponic garden....

I'm now into week 6 of the flowering cycle.

My question is: if all plants are still showing fresh, white pistils, can I rest easy that I haven't missed a male plant or that there are some hermi's lurking around?

I was under the impression that if pollen was around the flowers would have been fertilized by now and the pistils withered.

TIA for comments!

Keep an eye out for male parts But you should be in the clear.

Wekk 6 of flowering? Dude you would of known awhile ago if you had a male.

I had a plant in week 6, and she had some he's under some buds, till I pulled em off. They can hide well. You are right though, had they been males, you would know. The hermies can tuck em between their stems pretty good sometimes

You don't have a male but it can hermie on you at any time.

Thanks for the info everyone!

This is my first attempt to grow from seed, veg, flower, ditch the males, re-veg, clone the females, etc....

I have four varieties on the go - Lifesaver, Cherry Bomb II, CH9 Fem, and 2 of the Gypsy Nirv freebies (T-haze x Skunk?)......

Lifesaver had better be good, because is by far the lowest yield.....

Keep yer fingers crossed for me over the next couple of weeks!!

I thought I'd add a few pics, just to practice embedding images, and in case anyone might like a peek!! Obviously I am having some 'leaning' issues, but I think everything is OK..... Part way through Week 7 of flowering.

Leaning isn't so bad when its caused by big sticky nugs like yours

Very nice

 

[Doctor Dread]

wow man, thats a helluva crop...
Nice Growing.

 

[Racefan]

Nice grow there. You should be puffed up with pride as well as smoke

 

[GuerillaGRO]

Looks like you clipped a bud or two for an early test. How was the smoke? I always enjoy smoking my own so much better because I know how it was raised and that nothing was added to it after harvest.

I like your light set up. I think i am going to get a couple of those when i start my indoor grow this fall or winter.

G-Gro - I think what you are seeing is the result of some topping I had to do to get the various clones somewhat in synch.......

Haven't tried anything yet from this grow, although that's made easier by the fact I still have a bunch left over from my last (first) try at a garden.....

The light is a pretty basic 1000W HPS, over a 4'x4' grow area (now more like 6x6!)

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
