Been taking care of this plant for a few months now, turned out a male. Kind of hit me hard since the plant was getting me through my shitty work days and generally kept my mind occupied. Second plant is just a baby right now, another bag seed. budget doesn't allow me to purchase the fems from a bank, but Im considering getting normal seed see it that'll work out.

Any ideas what I can do with my plant even though its male some type of recycle or bonzai...something to keep me busy till the second one catches up.

Pictures or it didnt happen...

Most peeps have fems but see some round growth and prematurely chop, most bag seed is fem.

Save the pollen and hope the other plant is female. If it is then pollinate a couple branches with that saved pollen and make your own seeds. If I was on a tight budget and couldn't afford the ridiculous prices they charge I would make my own seeds. I do it anyway because the strains out there are getting ridiculous and I'm not paying for some pollen chuckers cross of a cross of a cross of a cross called Super Duper Silver Pineapple Kush Haze Black and Purple Sour Diesel Banana Split Extravaganza. I can chuck my own pollen and make hundreds of seeds for basically nothing instead of some overpriced pack of five feminized seeds that will be shooting banana's at week five of flower.

I wasn't trying to be funny but the truth is what it is. Seriously though. I would grow that out and hope for a female with the other plant. It's an opportunity to make some seeds. I'm not saying you'll have the latest and greatest killer strain or anything but you could very well end up with some good smoke and all the seeds you need for a long time.

Pick the balls off before they open. Then fix any stress. Heat stress, light stress, nutrient stress, environmental stress.

If hey were caused by stress and almost always are they will not grow back.

Maybe less will grow. Pick them off. Be diligent. You can still grow buds maybe.

As you can see its outside healthy plant, my pH was high at 7+. But I'll keep at it see if anything changes. These where the first signs of male so far. Light stress could be caused by the freaking lamp from the street but its unlikely. Its a healthy plant imo.

Just to mention this was bag seed

I completely agree with you about the strain names, so you being serious about it is humorous to me because youre right. The cost and names currently are a parody and mostly a rip off. I'm going to let it ride out see what happens.

Actually an outside light can cause problems if it breaks the plants light cycle too directly.

In the Jorge Grow book there is a pic of a huge plant next to a street lamp. Half is flowering he other half is revegging on the lit side.
