I tried topping some plants from seeds I has purchased this year (thank you to Boatguy for sharing a link to Uncle Ben's Topping Technique!) I tried to root the cuttings from the topped plants and got one to survive. So then I cloned one of my plants I had identified as male. Of course, the female cutting has turned out to be one of the slowest to flower (it's Fat Banana if anyone is familiar.) The little female is finally making white hairs but it's not flowering quite yet. I have spent the summer picking off the flowers from the male plants so they didn't fertilize anything I didn't want them to. Now that I've harvested all the autos that were on the patio I was thinking I could just leave the males alone and when the female goes into flower mode I would wind up with some brand new seeds. Will this work or should I still keep the males in check until the little female is fully flowering? Many thanks for any advice!
