I used to do that out in the field back in the 80's. As soon as you see those male pre flowers yeet that plant out of the ground. The leaves of the male plant do contain a small amount of THC. Just dry the leaves and smoke them. That will give you something to smoke and a nice little buzz while waiting on the females to be ready for harvest.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

[@backupintheday9710]

@@DeBaccoUniversity Your video doesn't take into account Hermaphrodite plants which are not at all uncommon. Mostly they are plants that appear to be female for the 2 or 3 weeks of flowering and then they start to grow male pollen sacks. Some times it is just a few and other times its too many and the plant has to be destroyed to prevent the other females going into seed production. Maybe you could make anther video on that subject? I assure you that is is quite common when growing from seeds.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

[@Xonts]

@@DeBaccoUniversity actually I found out it was a autoflower plant. Thats why the flowers popped out early, is it normal in 4 weeks ?

[@jaymzgaetz2006]

A plant can be showing its sex in one small hardly visible place and not be noticed. Plant shape can be a clue. Males are taller with more space between the sets of branches. My grandpa grew outdoors here in oregon and he would put a cardboard tube with one end taped shut to block light on a lower branch that wouldn't produce much. That branch goes into a flower cycle revealing the sex. He collected seeds from all kinds of people, from all kinds of places, with all kinds of tall tales about reefer and grew some serious kind. Usually sexing a plant is for propagation where it's imperative to control breeding but he did it to weed out the Males long before any pollination for a seedless crop giving the remaining plants more resources sooner.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

The earlier you can cull plants the better.

[@Judysbayoubostons]

Is there any other great information your grandpa left you concerning cannabis plants? I'm interested. This is a great tip. Thanks!!!

[@jaymzgaetz2006]

His knowledge could have filled books I'm sure. That tip was also featured in Ed Rosenthals "ask ed" column in high times. My grandpa's weed was legendary and i think it might have had something to do with his seed collection that he was sorting through. Every seed was either propogated unintentionally or with diabolical intention. The end result was always a suprise. But if you care about strains and their development you must keep breeding controlled. Also getting rid of unwanted males creates space and saves soil nutrients for the plants you want. The marijuana discussion has never been bigger but doesn't make sense according to most everything i learned about it growing up. I never grew it like my family but I had enough exposure to gain knowledge without trying. If there's something else i could suggest it would be curing techniques. He never had a dryer rack. He would hang his branches upside down in the dark damp crawlspace underneath the house. It seemed curious after stressing about mold at harvest. He even developed a strain that was early flowering to avoid mold that he called oregon outdoor. I asked him why he cured this way and he said that upside down branches with leaves on droop down over the flowers slowing the cure and make trimming the leaves easier. The stem attaching the leaf becomes a bright line that's easy to spot. Slowing the cure as much as possible without causing mold is real magic. Your flowers when cured will stick to walls like a booger. Cure as slow and damp as possible with the least amount of heat and light. If you use a jewelers lense and select flowers by how the trichome looks you change the levels of cbn and cbd. A more degraded trichome will have higher cbd than one picked at an optimal harvest time. Its why that crappy brick weed from Mexico would plant you in your chair. That in combination with the plant having seeds. When plants are with child all resources go to the child just like people. If the plant is not with child it becomes desperate for fertilization and makes itself stickier. If the plant is stressed it becomes more desperate and even stickier. When he smuggled his crop to my mom in California every year she'd sell out quick. There were always stories about how her weed wrecked someone. These tips are great for someone growing their own but may not be useful for large scale grows that are more concerned with volume than quality. Others tips were stressing the plant before harvest, only use natural methods, tying starts in a loop then untying and supporting their weight near harvest, removing big long branches that will produce one tiny piece of pot because it's a wasteof resources, try growing only tops or cola's, I could go on. Thanks for responding...I hope this information was useful to you.

High-level information combining the theoretical with the practical, and connecting the lab to the field. Thank you. I didn't want to have to consult a textbook, or go to a library, likely in vain due to their puritanical natures. I hope we see more of these types of videos from real scientists and teachers in the future. I hope other post-secondary educators become aware that an online lesson like this is the best and most democratic way to spread their knowledge to those who actually want it, instead of making specialized information strictly available for those interested that can afford it; or, for those who a) believe that their lessons are unimportant or boring, or b) they can learn later with on the job training, or c) are simply a vehicle to a career path. Producing educational content like this for the world, free for the user and curated to a larger, more interested audience, while monetizing the scholar directly via ad revenue without a sea of intermediaries seems to me preferable for both student and teacher, as compared to, say, going a quarter million dollars in debt; or, working underappreciated for a pittance at an adult daycare existing to manufacture undergraduate degrees to a student body, 70% of whom are hungover, absent, or disinterested, while administrators who have nothing to do with academics funnel the educators' profits into their wallets and the athletics program. I guess - long-windedly and likely for no-one - I just want to say thanks again for putting stuff like this out there, not only because it was very helpful, but because, perhaps, it may also embolden more and more with specialized information to do the same. If enough of an audience is built among enough educators, perhaps a free online university could be possible for the world, and become lucrative for its participants.

Been growing for decades (outdoor) and almost never see plants with preflower male sacs. More often all have the pistils like females appearing after a couple months or so.

Rumor has it that this can be done, but there are better starting materials.

You won't know until you buy some from a less than reputable source, then go home and wonder why you just caned a quarter and got nothing but a weird pulsing headache just above your eyebrows and at the back of your skull on either side where it joins your spine. Been there way back in the 70's only it was 00Moroccan that had been pressed with henna. 🤢🤬

[@pranabtripura2116]

It's just basic and when it start showing pollen it's too late for outdoor. Any method for early stage sign?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Identify the preflowers and this will be before the pollen is viable and released.

I have grown various seedlings into a single pot, Now after 2 weeks they have aroused. Should I keep them as they are or should I use different pots?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Up-potting is in order.

[@dudleydorite7678]

Great video. Only one question, where is that field located? 🤔 😂😂

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Outside;-)

[@lindagoldstein2808]

Wow

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Hope you liked the video.

Cna anyone tell me, do male plants need 12/12 or they just make sacks when they mature enough, if logically thinking, seeds fully develop 4-6 weeks, so if sack starting growing as same as female bud they willl be too late to pollen

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Typically the 12/12 will induce flower formation, but I would not trust all the males to follow this;-)

[@sanookaus1334]

I grew a few strains from fem seeds (outdoors), after harvesting and during curing while I was rotating the jars I found a seed in 2 jars. Where on the plant did it come from and will it be a fem seed? Or is it just nature’s way of survival.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

50/50 male to female chance depending on the pollen source.

[@rigovertohernandez2714]

Last year I used clones and found seeds after trimming. They ended up being males.😢

[@kokeskokeskokes]

Hi. My experience has been that females are ready for pollination as soon as the preflowers appear.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

A true preflower is underdeveloped but depending on other factors, it may not be long after preflowering that they are receptive to pollen.

[@kokeskokeskokes]

@@DeBaccoUniversity Thank you. So perhaps it was few days later then. I remember only having about 10 seeds where the preflowers had been. I was using pollen from my fridge, from an earlier male. Getting reg auto seeds is difficult around here.

[@southerntommygun1353]

Do you ever keep the males separately to harvest only the pollen or is that even possible?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

This is possible and an isolated grow tent with carbon filter is the recommended location for males.

[@chemtrailwarrior7869]

I have both, did I screw up my first plants?

What it means if it grows an extra head at the gender location?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Mutation.

@@DeBaccoUniversity Thanks for the reply mate!so I got to wait when gender show yes?or is it a male beginning stage?

Wait until you see flowers...

Unrelated, but in regards to indoor growing, why do “blurple” lights get so much hate? I just picked up an led and I guess it’s kind of blurple so I was disheartened

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Not full spectrum and are missing certain wavelengths, in addition it makes diagnosing plant issue difficult on first onset. In general not a fan of these types of lights.

[@stripperchalky]

How soon can you tell when it's a male or female?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

In the pre-flower stage.

[@dougdileo4727]

can you just pinch off the little sacs and let it grow

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

This may be true, but if the plant is male there will be no final flower yield.

[@aliencultivations3635]

2 observations I'd like to have Clarified. Do males elongate more with less growth near the stock as apposed to a female? Also I noticed 2 of my plants produce different numbers of leaves. One plant has 5 feathers per leaf where the other plant has 7 per leaf. Is this a difference between genders or just genteics?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

1. Males do tend to be taller. 2. genetics;-)

[@susanfarley1332]

I had a female plant that turned male. Didnt know they could do that. The first plant i ever grew was a seedling i found growing in the yard where some sailors had lived. The moved out and i had to clean their trailer(they trashed it). I noticed it growing, recognized it and transplanted it. Into a pot. It got about 3 1/2 feet tall and started developing pollen. I was disappointed. Went ahead and has ested it because it was getting harder to hide. I was careful to keep all the pollen with the leaves. Dried it and rolled 6 joints from it. I dmoked one and while eatching tv it looked like transmisdions from outerspace. Then i couldn't move out of my chair. Someone grabbed the rest of the joints i made. Damn.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

This can happen in rare occasions where sometimes the plants will produce both flowers on the same plant.

[@susanfarley1332]

@@DeBaccoUniversity having taken a botany course I am puzzled as to why the pollen producing parts are being referred to as "flowers" ? I don't have my botany book available to look it up but it jars me every time I hear flowers and right now I'm not sure why (why it jars me). I guess I think of seed producing flower parts as flowers and pollen producing plant parts as "anthers". My memory is not as good as when I was younger. My damn phone somehow has lost the ability to Google stuff and that's very inconvenient.

[@susanfarley1332]

@@DeBaccoUniversity I think what caused my plant to do it might have been the fact that when I found the female plant it was very small even though it had a nice sized bud and I had to transplant it from that location since it was growing in a driveway. It had popped up sometime in the fall and the day length had fooled it into producing buds. But the transplantation shocked it a little. The buds had been removed so it could use its energy to growth and it did grow. But no more buds. Just pollen producers. And by then the day length was increasing.
