UPDATE DAY 11 FLOWERING!!

I made a comment yesterday about Mary (my middle plant) being female, WELL, I think she is actually male. I could of sworn yesterday I saw 2 white hairs in the middle of the nodes. I walk out of the grow op this morning and I'm starting to see 2 small balls forming on the sides of the top branches/nodes. Could be a hermie, but either way I don't want it lol. A little disappointing but I will give it a couple more days just to be 100% positive.

I read somewhere here that ALL plants are born both Male and Female and its conditions that dictate what sex dominates (at least to some degree)
I am wondering, if that is true is there a proven way to "force" a plant to develop as Female?
If say you continue to remove any male growth (read:balls) from the plant this of course would eliminate pollination, but could it also force the plant to flower as a Female?
I also read that stress will cause a plant to become Hermie or Male and I imagine that what I described above would produce much stress.
I think if I am unfortunate to discover a male I may try this in another area separated from my girls.
Then again if this worked I would think it would have been discovered already and reported extensively here at RIU.ORG.
Anyway, you can always make something out of the guy. Sandals maybe?

LMFAO! Hell yeah! I will actually probably just go with making honey oil. Never have tried it but have seen it done personally and it looks like some powerful stuff.

That would be an interesting experiment, but I really don't think you can force a plant to be female. I know stress leads to hermie (which is what i think i have) but not sure if it will deff lead to a male *dont quote me on that*.

I have this spray called Dutchmaster Reverse, it stops the production of male flowers. HOW? I dont know...but it spreads it all over their website. Dutch Master - For the Biggest, Hardest, Heaviest Yields EVER!! GUARANTEED! - GOLD Nutrient AVAILABLE NOW! go to Our Products, Foler Technologies, then Click Reverse and read about it. I've sprayed my plants twice but only once with this mixture in it. We'll see if it lives up to the name!!!

Hey klunk glad you can stop by! hope to see ya soon and good luck with your grow as well!! Very good stuff!!

Plants look excellent mate, i'll keep my fingers crossed for Mary! Stretch showing any development at all?
I think Mary is going to be female after all but we'll find out in the next couple of days. Stretch is still just growing, still no signs of sex but I'm not really worried about Stretch, dont even really care if hes a male lol. If there's going to be a male I'm hoping it's him. Stretch is getting near 2 feet tall but I'll be lucky if I get an 8th off of him, then again thats better then nothing lol.

Ah right fair enough, im sure Mary will prevail! Had my HPS on over night last night, i know its supposed to be used primarily in flowering but wanted to see if it was safe. And my god the growth out of my girls over night is crazy.... Havent blacked out my grow room completely yet though so hope i dont get sun burn lol
