Thanks, bud. They feel like little nugs forming. Whatever's happening, I don't think it will be life threatening to the plant. Other tops seem perfectly fine.

It's a boy!!! The resinous of this plant is pretty awesome! Plus it has great structure/leaf formation, oh, and not to mention how regenerative it is. I've nearly snapped that shit in half once. I think i'm going to take some clones and finish them off inside the shed to collect some pollen, but most of it is going to be made into a tincture.

It's over seven and a half feet tall.

The afghan kush has started to flower, but it doesn't have a smell to it.

The one with the monster trunk and deformed top. (I try to make a rich mud bath for the plant roots.)

That looks like broadmite damage...

The remains of the male plant.

Close up on the "main hub." 8)

I throw two of the male flowering tops in a 5 gallon bucket. They're still flowering! I'm glad I cut it down when I did, because the tops have started opening up, and I was able to collect pollen from two sacks.

I'm very proud of this plant. It has great phenotypes. Can't wait to pollinate a few tops, and pop the resulting seeds! Prep for next season begins with establishing a seed stock.

Looking awesome! I love that main hub on the male, how do you do that? Top, Lst, and burry up to base of the bent branches?

Thanks, BC
I was happy with this plant, despite it being a male. I've found my personal growing technique which I'm going to impose on all my plants from now on. I pretty much mainlined and buried up to the base.
Here's the plant before transplantation.

Ok that's kinda what I pictured, I've never burried any of my stalk before. I'm gonna have to try that. Do you put any root hormone on the stalk?

I saw you make your own nutes.. maybe I've missed something, but I was wondering, maybe it's a good idea, how about using the male plant as nutes ?

it has all what a MJ needs :)

Here's what I did: I grew out the plant until it was a foot and half tall in a small pot, and then I placed the root ball at the bottom of the bucket, burry a foot of the stripped stalk, so that a good 6 inches of plant is sticking out of the dirt. I observed that doing it this way establishing the plant, making a sturdy stalk and large 5 gallon root mass. Once weather is permitting, and that six inches grows two feet, you gotta get that large root mass two to three feet in the ground (where roots belong.)

@Miko2
I try to enrich the ground soil with teas and what not. Well the male plant still produces cannabinoids which you can get high from, but you just gotta process it more. This male has produced a shit ton of resin. My fingers would get sticky after a stem rub. I'm going to make hash/tinctures out him. I dried out the leaves for shake. I can notice the high kick in after three hits of shake. I want to try dry ice hash. I will probably figure out some use of the stems. Probably cure them, and use them for a canna stick tea or something idk.

Thanks for info, I will definitely give it a shot

I made canna butter along with canna-banana bread muffins. I can't post the edibles since they're still in the oven.

@mr sunshine
Thank you, sir. I'm already planning out next season. I've gotten 20 pounds of guano composting with grass clippings and reject tomatoes. I pulled out the stump to examine the soil, were the male plant was, and it was full of activity and bug life. I found warms and some creepy looking grubs.

Can anyone identify these grubs?

The plants.

The larger one is turning into some purp (photo doesn't do it justice) and seems to still be in veg. It's only throwing out pre flowers with the two pistils. I think it's going to be a 10 ft plant by the time it finishes.

@Miko2 I through some stems into my "tea" canister.
