Sorry to see you got the males, bro. From what I've read, it takes a few days to for the pollen to spread after you see the balls. Your good stuff may still be virgins.....Im still laughing my ass off!Still in threes!

Thanks bxke, I am pretty sure that I pulled the male out before he opened his sacks. I will watch the rest of my plants closely. Thanks.

I hope you are right! I didnt see any signs of pollen or open sacks. They were very small seed pods. I will just wait and see. Thanks for your support!

Males definitely not nice. I will be watching my other 5 plants to make sure their balls dont drop. I will be posting more pics of my other plants today. Thanks for stopping by.

First let me apologize for my toasted ramblings last night. Man I was fried!
Today is day 11 flowering and day 30 total. I moved my plants around today and switched out some lights. I took all of the lights off of my 1 remaining bagseed plant and put it to the side of all of my good plants. I will let the BS plant fend for itself as it has been flowering for 3 weeks now and is just barely showing signs of where some flowers might be.
My 4 ppp plants are all showing top colas and flowers forming. They are looking good but I am still worried about hermies due to the feminized seeds. I have heard that hermies occur mainly due to light leaks? If that is true, I should be ok because my tent is tight! I have some close up pics that might give you an idea of my concerns.
I now have 17 lights:
10- 40w 2700k 2600 lumens
2- 30w 3000k 1900 lumens
4- 25w 2700k 1800 lumens
1- 25w 6500k 1800 lumens
I took all but one of the blue lights out of the mix and re-positioned my lights to get more light high and low on the plants. I now have 6 lights in between my plants and lower than the other lights.
Here are some pics. Please help me watch for hermies!!!

All 4 of my PPP plants are males! My bagseed plant pollinated them all. What a bummer. Thanks to all for stopping by. I will be trashing my entire grow and cleaning my cabinet with bleach. I may try again in a few weeks...we will see.
Take Care!

I will start in a few days. I ordered a couple of books today to help. I screwed up this grow myself in almost every way possible. Lets see:Don't wait a few weeks. Do it now! Best way to get over it is to get back on the horse......
I'll be looking for your next journal shortly.....
- I started my plants under red lights because I did not know the difference.
- My cabinet was reaching up to 107 degrees when I first started
- My fans werent big enough
- And most importantly- I did not know what the hell I was doing!! lol

Hey Brendon,
In my haste to try and get something out of these plants, i dried, crushed and smoked the leaves, pollen sacks and stems! I did not get a buzz but it did kind of feel good to destroy those males!
Thanks for the suggestion!
