Those bean poles ones might have been the og leaners.

well out of those 6 one turned out to be a female, maybe those were females. This was my logic in throwing those 3 lanky, spaced out nodes, ones out: if those three tall ones were female, the male version of that pheno had to be taller and if that were the case, they would be much taller which didn’t seem like a natural growth rate compared to the rest.

Have you ever had tall plants turn out to be female? Would you recommend going against the stereotypical tall lanky plants do not equal males?

Perpetual grower here and I do not tolerate any hermie expression at all with an exception granted to late flower nanners if there are not many. A Herm throwing pollen is a nightmare in my type of garden.

Well, like i said, i totally understand why some people rule out any of these traits but was just saying for folks who didn't know.... sometimes plants will have a few balls right at the beginning of flowering and then no more the rest of the growing cycle, and often not show any balls on subsequent clones of the same mother.... and ALSO, a lot of the time those balls are sterile....
A lot of the time they are NOT sterile though, so....

It's up to the individual, and if you're hunting for something special in feminized seeds and see a few early balls, MAYBE it's worth picking them off and seeing what you get.

I have had the taller seedlings be female quite often and with certain strains it is very common. I’m running 5 Sleeskunk F2s from an Indica leaning mom and big lanky Sativa boy. Started with nine and had 4 males show quickly. Two were lanky and two were very short and bushy. Three of the girls are lanky and two bushy, one of these is runty. My tallest out of the nine is a girl.

I totally understand that some people want to discard any plant that shows even the slightest hermaphrodite or intersex traits but there are a LOT of plants that will show a few balls at the very beginning of flowering and then never show anymore throughout maturation....

Just saying, in case any folks are just looking for super quality keepers and didn't know that.

Some of the best plants ever can express minor intersex traits early in flower, such as ECSD.

I had a Polar Vortex from IHG show some balls on lower suckers, that weren't getting proper light. I just cut them off, and called it a day. Flower came out beautiful, at day 67.

I just finished a couple Lemon Frosting and the Cookie Breath, cookie was last to finish outside and just curing now. Lemon Frosting fits the name and is strong and tasty. Im not a huge cookie guy, but happy with this one. Nice structure, both similar and good yield too.

respect,
pal

I'd like to start sharing some of the blog posts I've been working on at my website.
We just published one on LST. I'd really like to get your opinion on articles like this and what kind of blog posts you'd like to see me publish.
The LST method allows growers to maximize their growing space by modifying the structure and increasing the yield of their cannabis plants. Marijuana plants typically grow in an apical dominance pattern...The LST technique is performed by gently bending and tying down the stems and branches of the cannabis plants. This is usually executed during the vegetative growth stage when the stalks of the plants are soft and pliable. Bending the branches during the flowering stage may stunt bud formation or cause the stems to snap.

There's probably little info on growing weed / techniques that hasn't been documented many times, and easily accessible by googling. But new growers jump in daily, and [old] old timers forget @Bodyne , so having a collection of info available at a popular site is probably a good idea, imo.

Interesting, i through out 3 tall lanky seeds out of 9, 5 left over were males, and 1 female, pretty sure those were females I threw out. Ah well, you learn something new everyday

Big thumbs up from me on all three.

And ah, only using photos of the actual crosses instead of one parent, and I'm back onboard.

Pfft! Nowadays they use the same pic for 2 crosses without anything in common. Now I don’t know what information they attach to their seeds is legit. They lost my trust
