heres a first. sex talk inside ;)

3 months ago 2 seeds were planted, lovingly vegged, 2 clones of each were taken before maturity is even reached( about 5 weeks into the grow. Nodes weren't alternating). The two plants moved into flower to be sexed, meanwhile the clones rooted. After about a week both plants are showing male. I think well shit. And remove the two keeping one isolated (perfect male NEEDS to breed) and killing the other.
Project time. One of each clone is taken and put in a "less controlled" room ensuring they receive care typical to that of a first or 2nd time grower. Meanwhile the other two are put in my perfect (not bragging) environment that is the veg tent and was sure to care for and tend to these babies to the best of my knowledge. After a week in veg and a little new growth all four are moved to flower. Within a week the 2 in the less controlled environment have shown true male. And the other 2? U guessed it female. I am by no means calling this cut and dry but it is interesting to think about. It may help show that while it may be dominate to one side or the other environmental influences can play a role in sex determination. Anyone? I know its "this can of worms" again but is this not weird? Anyone else had a try at this experiment if so how did urs go? There will be more test in the near future with more influences at play. Until then please, discuss..

I should note, I have attempted this with 4-5 other strains to no success

very interesting sensai... what strain was this successful experiment conducted with? I too believe stress and proper environment can play a crucial role in fem/male determination. Thread more experiments in the future please.

The strain used was alphakroniks cannabis. Querkle is up next then I will continue these experiments with these 2 and maybe a few more til I can get some data compiled

your a mad scientist!! cool beans, keep up the research. Come see my first grow sometime and drop a comment https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/317378-first-grow-soiless-mix-og.html much appreciated

Haha, I'm just intrigued by the plants and use that curiousity to fuel my experiments. There's a million ways to do everything in this field and none are wrong not all are right so its fun to approach shit from a totally sideways angle from what you usually would, I've benefited from it everytime. Whether the plant died or thrived I learned something, and there's no better benefit in my mind. If I can have fun and learn something everyday I'm at peace. btw, your grow? Fuckin pimpin.

Bump. No one else has played around with this?

I don't know how much there is to this theory, but I have both read and heard that stressing the plant by topping it at around 4-5 weeks old, in particular will produce hermaphroditic or male plants. I topped for the first time during this current grow and I waited to do it until they were 6 weeks old to top them and came up with 3 out of 4 female.

Its definetly something to think about. I'm not set in any stance on it I jußt keep an open mind and hope I stumble onto something. The only problem is a lot of people are stuborn in their ways and beleifs about it and either don't know or haven't tried. There's so much "this is the right way" info out there but who's to say that's really just that? So ill keep tinkering in hopes of actually documenting something worth sharing and maybe disproving a few things along the way
