You know when your starting out and you get a coupple of rapid growing plants.... Seems they are always males. Pisses me off cause you think you got a few monsters comming then the you see male preflowers on the larger plants. Problem is I raise my lights and my smaller females get streched out. I dontt want fem seeds so... anyone else notice this? Just a heads up for newbies.

Yup I'm going to do some cuttings. I was reading male plants are taller so they can rain the pollen down on the ladies.

That is a male plants mission in life. Grow big and pollenate. They are taller so the wind naturally blows the pollen onto the smaller females.

Yep its all about reproduction. Wind and gravity help ensure the plants survival. Most plants use the help from birds and insects but they tend to avoid marijuana as it is to sticky for them to move around well. This is where mammals like deer come in. They will eat some bud digest it and shit out some seeds in another part of the woods.
