Male Tragedy

Hi,
so out of my 7 plants one is female two are too small to decide yet but 4 are males - probably too much stress in the beginning of their lives. so It leaves me with one nice big bushy female (we will see what is going to happen to the wee ones).
Question is what is the best way to get the most now from one flower under 400w Grolux HPS? I have LSTed her quite well but now she has loads more space to grow, should I LST more? (we are at the beginning of the second week into 12/12)

Thanks

Use her has a mother plant this is the only thing to do.You can grow this plant out and smoke it or let her grow and just keep cloneing her she will produce 1000 of clones.But more important keep you in bud for along time,always germanate a max of two seeds out of 5/10 you only want one plant then clone it............................tyke..............................................

Congratulations on your female. You could very well end up with two more.

It was just happenstance that you ended up with four confirmed males. Statistically, the chances of any random seed being male or female are roughly the same. Stress did not cause it.

Males are a fact of life when growing cannabis. The plant would not be able to reproduce in the wild without male pollen fertilizing female flowers. So celebrate males. It's not a tragedy, it's just part of the fun.

With a potential maximum of three females, cloning might be the best idea if you have access to another light. Or if you are feeling adventurous, you might even want to try your hand at breeding.

Good luck and good growing.
