I threw a handful of seeds into some potting soil to see what would happen & a wk ago I saw stems lifting the soil up. Its nearly 30 some odd plants that are all bunched in together & now have concerns of seperating them to distinguish my male from females in soon to come wks. and fear that removing them may cause them to go into shock.....Looking for feed back on this!

You just have to try and separate them. Maybe not too tangled yet.

Phew, you got some work ahead of ya, a little patience will be tested here, take a look at my post for what I did with just 2 seeds that were planted in the same pot. https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/638067-accidentally-planted-2-seeds-same.html

Just so ya know the smaller one that I transplanted is actually my strongest seedling right now.

The first pic is the smaller one that I transplanted, it is now twice the size of the other one which used to be twice the size of the one I transplanted. I don't think it causes any shock at all, best to get them in their own pots ASAP.

This looks like an operation that was really well thought out. If you got 30 seedlings in a tangled mess then cut 29 down with scissors and hope for the best. Best advice is to take another handfull of 30 seeds, and plant one per pot, 30 pots total. Growing weed isn't hard but it takes a little more planning than this to have any chance of success.

dig down deep into the side of the pot, and pull the soil up like a crowbar. theyll come out without any harm. new age united, what you running, coco?

firechile007 · Mar 31, 2013

Wow... that's a lot of plants man. All in one pot :confused:

My advise is to lossen the soil enough so that you can transfer each plant into individual pots or buy a seed starter kit. Save as many as you can.

No I'm running what I thought was pro mix, I think it is something similar but without perlite, lots of peat, can anyone imply here.

killachris · Mar 31, 2013

it looks like good stuff. how much was it?

sleepy4109 · Mar 31, 2013

Goin to start trying to seperate first thing in the A.M,thank you guy & gals! I'm fairly new to the b otanicals of hemp

sleepy4109 · Mar 31, 2013

I have collected every seed i have come across for the last year ...2 kush seeds a purp seed & the rest from different variety of good mid I have gotten over the last 365

New Age United · Mar 31, 2013

Ya I wouldn't let them go much longer, tommorow for sure. It was $26.00 a bag which fills 30 1 gallon pots, tax included can $.

I did my separation earlier & so far everything looks to be okay,except the fact i had a lot more plants than i thought..
Unfortunately it looks like I'm gonna have to throw away 130 ladies due to lack of space and the fact of no one i know will keep them!

AimAim · Apr 1, 2013

So you are throwing out 130 known female plants? Epic lack of planning. Just have fun with it and keep it a hobby for now.

slightlytoasted · Apr 1, 2013

Dude dont throw them away! Are you crazy? Worst case scenario is stresses them male. at this young they cant have a big enough root ball for you to do any real damage by separating them. You wont kill them by transplanting, but you will kill them by throwing them away. Just separate as many plants as pots you have and plant the rest outside or something...jesus dont throw them away.

caspar420 · Apr 1, 2013

Not much of a chance to stress them male this early in the game I dont think. I had a similar situation. Use a trowel or something and get underneath all the roots lift them out carefully. Most the dirt will fall away and they will start o untangle themselves if they are not too old. Good luck!!

Genetic code determines sex, not stress

I'm with ya on that, however it does make sense that it can cause hermies.

mrblu · Apr 3, 2013

having over 100 plants is bigtime problem man. thats instant lock up for like 5-40 years.

varanoid · Apr 3, 2013

Make some friends and give some away. Sure beats tossing them all out.
