I love how this has turned into a flame thread. Thanks for all the helpful information that everyone has provided.
I'm truly sorry that a little 'story' could throw people into such a rage. I won't waste any more of my, or your time.
Stop the deflections. This is not a "flame" thread. The fact is that your thread has too many holes and discrepancies in it and multiple people have called you on these questionable statements. If you had been more forthright from the beginning, then people wouldn't be doubting your words so much.
First you claim that you just discovered these plants on a "nature hike" on your parents property. Then the truth comes out that these plants are actually right in your parents backyard garden, replete with garden hoses and stacked cord wood.
More interesting (much more interesting) is the fact that you now admit that your "parents" have been growing out this cannabis "every year". They allow these annual "weeds" to open pollinate and propagate every year and then take care of the plants til they die... every year. But only now you decide to get curious and research cannabis growing forums? Hmmm
And why are you just now pulling the males? Won't your "parents" get suspicious that half of their special annuals have just suddenly and quietly been ripped and have disappeared??? Hmmm. BTW, How do you even know how to recognize male sexed cannabis... since you just now stumbled upon grow sites and you have never grown canna yourself??? Hmmmm
I could go on, but the fishy smell of this thread is just too much.
