males and females

I have 3 regulars that I'm growing indoors for about 2-3 weeks and then putting them outside. Not sure if their will be more females or males but the question I wanted to ask is that if I have at least 1 male what do I do considering I don't want the male pollinating the female, I don't have that much room to move these plants in different places of the house. I will discard the male but how will I know if it is a male or a female before the male starts pollinating the female. When you start to realize that its a male will it already of pollinated the female even when I don't see the sacks?

At the end of the day I don't want to have 1 or two females and then one male who just pollinates the females before I can even realize its a male.

If you keep a good eye on them and you do spot male flowers you will have time to kill them before they pollinate the females

You'll know when you see a male, won't look like anything you'd want to smoke

If it's a male, pull the thing out of the ground, tie it to a tree and burn, burn ... burn the motha-f&*ker down!!

the males usually give a week or so notice before they drop pollen.

Yea that is true you will see male pollen sacks instead of preflowers in females

I know that when I see the pollen sacks on the males that's when to kill it, but what I'm asking is does the male pollinate the females before you can tell its a male or do they start pollinating when they get the sacks?

Thank you for the advice guys

What do you mean by give a week or so notice? What will signal to me that they are going to drop pollen?

Thank you brimck325

You will see clearly balls at the nodes at least 7 days before they pollinate. Not only that, in my experience, many strains when they are male will grow taller wildly past the females during that week, so if you have one plant that grows a foot taller than all the others, put that one under much scrutiny.

You'll be able to tell, I assure you

You will be able to tell which are which if you look at them. Mine showed at 7 weeks it was a male, the other never showed Neil I flowered and it was a female.. I vegged for mine to show maturity since the male showed, the female wasn't too far behind
