First grow from seeds that were given to me. Was told there were older ILGM seeds. They came in little plastic seed containers with 5 seeds in each. 10 Durban Poison and 10 Swiss Cheese.
Of the 10 Durban Poison five germinated. of the 10 Swiss Cheese zero unfortunately germinated. I have to assume they were either too old or some other weird factor. Seeds were all fairly firm when I touched them and had apparent good color. But hey cant complain for free seeds. Followed the steps in the grow bible, pretty awesome freebie from RB, thanks man.
Anyhow its been several months since I grew these gems. At any rate I have 4 very nice Durban Plants and one appears to either me completely male or a hermaphrodite. Could you all please take a look a the pictures below and give me your helpful insight.
Also if its male is there anyway to save the plant? Can you cut off all the pollen sacs?
Well if it will make seeds for Durban Poison then Ill let it grow seeds. Its going on the far side of the yard, the farthest I can get it from my ladies.
No, don’t do that! Pollen can travel miles, it will definitely pollinate your females. Also, the male won’t make seeds, he makes pollen. He has to pollinate a female and the female makes the seeds.
Those aren’t seeds or seed-pods you are seeing. They are pollen bombs. When they explode all the girlies in the neighborhood get excited, and usually knocked up.
Oh god, I’m sorry if my statement was misleading about the butt-ton of seeds! I didn’t mean for it to come off as if the male would just produce seeds by itself!
It’s a learning experience, and keep a close eye on your girls. Hope none of those sacks popped yet, but if the girls got pollenated think of all the seeds you won’t have to buy?
Oh, that’s a hermie, not a full male. Sorry, I didn’t see the pistils. Still, it’s going to do the same thing, pollinate your females. Get rid of it.
Toss shim out! Raustin for the win again lol. Unless… u put them both in an air tight shed. Let him open. Douse her in solitude. (Still run HIGH RISK of unwantd cross pollination with other girls) then kill IMMEDIATELY after. N spray her with water 15 mins later. Done deal
