Is there any way for your to make sure you get a Female then a Male....by like giving the plant less stress or something like that.

 

[NoDirtWeed4Me]

Less stress reduces chances of a female turning hermaphrodite, but has no effect on male/female. Once the seed has sprouted you have 0 influence on male vs. female. The only times that you can have an effect on seed sex is by using female pollen from a hermi to pollenate another female. All seeds produced from that will be female. The other time you can have an effect on sex is when it's a seed. You can increase your chances of your plants ending up being female by adding a woman's birth control pill(crushed up of course) to the water when germinating your seeds. On this I am just passing along info as I've never tried it myself.

The only other times that you can effect the sex of your plants is when purchasing seeds(buy feminized seeds) and by cloning(if you clone a female plant you will of course get all females).

If you want to prevent hermies...the least stress on a plant will result in lower chances of it turning hermi..so u want to consistantly keep right temps right humidity...no interruptions in dark cycles... etc.

Now the experts will tell you what is the best conditions possible for your plant (temps, humidity etc.)

hope this helps a bit

 

[weediologist]

Can You Tell Me The Temp, Humidity And Etc.....my Temp Is About 85f When Light On And I Dont Know About Off Time As I Dont Disturb The Plant By Letting Light Into The Closet When It Was In Vege The Off Temp Was 73f So It Probebly Is The Same I Dont Kow Abut Humidity But I Have A Cup Of Water In The Room That I Fill Up Ever 2 Day Since All The Water Evaporates..i Just Hope I Can Complete This Plant Growth Being Only A Female.....i Cant Take Any Cutting Now Can I Since Its Shown Its Pistil???

 

[Urdedpal]

You were suppose to take clones before you flower.Your temp is a little high but bearable.I would not cut your plant during the flower period because it stunts and slows growth.

 

[weediologist]

how cool is the temp suppose to be about 80F or wat

 

[Urdedpal]

72 and 80F
Install a oscillating fan and have it run when your lights are on.

 

[weediologist]

i have a powerful fan blowing in from outside in,,,and have a fan inside too and a 250 cfm fan taking the air out.

 

[weediologist]

so ill see the new temp cause i add a fan inside the closet 1 day ago
