male flowers @ 4.5 wks

[kev_dog]

i have a large female that i grew from seed, she has been growing big beautiful buds for 4 weeks when all of a sudden I notice these small yellowish leaves within the buds, you have to look closely to see them.

 

there were male plants near here during the 1st 2 weeks b4 they were identified, i carefully removed the males at that time.

 

could these be small male flowers developing at this stage or could it have been an abnormal growth period causing the yellow leaves?

 

if they are male flowers is the rest of the garden in jeopraody? none of the others are showing this

A picture would help here, but it is possible that ya female has hermied. If you do get any seed from this it should be feminized, and worth keeping.

A few male flowers won't usually pollinate a whole plant much less a garden.

as soon as i c more than 10% male flower bloom

i will start pick dem off

and eat dem yummy

hehe

so to fix that problem of to many male flowers i will fretlize the best head wid a pure male pollen at 10% male bloom with a clean artist pant brush from my frozen pollen store

2 to 3 weeks later harvest the seed from this head only for a stable strain to sins next grow

eat, make medicine, and smoke the rest

even a failed crop is still got some THC

[loylty gets u nothing]

nannnas mate

looks to me like a stray male bract

may be unfertile u dont know

do u see any seeds forming

are they getting complete darkness??

a slightest light leak can produce these symptoms

just keep ya eyes peeled for seeds forming i would anyways

chances are the males may have pollinated them allready

all the best

[loylty gets u nothing]

picking em off or removing can result in multiple balls

u can try removing em

but personally id just go with another strain next time

all the best
