Grow you own marijuana

Reviews and opinions, often contradicting each other. This is what we are when it comes to marijuana. And doubts. Lots of doubts that beset beginners and those who are not so. And one of the key themes is that of the females and males. Are males smoke? How do I know which plant is female and which male? What options do I have that my females are fertilized by a male? When do you part? What to do with the males? Is it wrong to be so many questions? For the latter, is a quick answer: No, of course not.

Marijuana plants have sex, like any other plant. The buds are the result of the flowering of female individuals. If they have been pollinated seeds. Otherwise, copies will be searched ‘sinsemilla ‘. The plant can be male, female or hermaphrodite. They provide the amount of resin needed for a high rate of THC are female. The males are responsible for fertilizing the females, and produce clusters that contain the pollen necessary for their mission. Note that a single branch with male flowers (yes, flowers are also called), is sufficient to fertilize several females. The strangest case not so difficult to occur, is that of a hermaphrodite plant. In this case, it is normal for the plant to develop female flowers except in some branch, which has male flowers, which can make nonsense of this plant and harvest. We say we will destroy it be fertilized spend much of their energy creating seeds, finding very little resin then compared to a plant ‘sinsemilla ‘.

We must exercise caution with the males. Its pollen can be transported by wind for miles. So not only serves to separate males and females. Regarding males are identified, must be cut and leave only to females as queens of our harvest. In addition to avoid an early identification and preventive spend fertilizer plants that do not want, since the THC content in males was found mainly in the leaves, and is much lower than that of females.

What does a female?

To detect a female, no more waiting until the plant has buds. Before the plant begins to produce buds, the plant gives us a sign showing their sex. When the plant reaches about a foot above sea level, much depends, we can see at intersections of main stem with branches dos “stigmata ” green to be long gone, as between the stem and each stigma which appears first indication of the sex of our plant. If in that area are two white hairs or even red, elongated bag out of a green our plant is safely a female. From there and later will come the buds, which are accumulations of these hairs coated with resin bags.

What is a male?

If at the same intersection, which has been detailed in the previous section, are a few balls, that will grow and grouping together in clusters as if it were a vine, then our plant will be one we should rush too macho.No to detect males and kill them, because at first we can be easily confused if the flower is very small. Also, where we first distinguish the sex is in the top of the plant, which is where the plant is developing more and where the first signs emerging. The downside is that everything in that area is very small and very cramped so it is difficult to see clearly. We will then wait for the plant to grow a little more.

The white hairs that allow us to distinguish the females are the ones who later form the cogollos.Hembra who have shown their sex and that has begun to bud quickly. Photo of indoor cultivation.

Photo of male: You can see the long ball protruding por the side of the new branch, the signal that is a male.

Photo of male: Another perspective on the same plant. When they left the first two balls on each side will more.

MALE: Here it is as they have already left a lot of balls.

Female: Both hairs are obvious.
