Male sacks close to harvest

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by Shini, Jun 18, 2019.

  1. Hey,

    So basically I am about 6 days away from harvest, but I have noticed a few male sacks have appeared on the plants. Not many but enough for me to notice.

    So my questions are:

    1. Should I move my harvest date up and get them now before any more sacks appear and pollen has a chance to spread? Will it make a difference if they happen to open a day or two before harvest?

    Only reason I am worried is I haven't completed my full cycle of flushing so,

    2. Do I continue to flush for the next 4-5 days and then harvest on normal schedule?

    Just looking for some input, I have read they can change sex basically anywhere in the flower cycle if certain conditions are met and just wondering how much I should worry.

    Thanks for any help you can give!
     
  2. I'm no expert but I've read that u can just rip the balls off. I'd be doing thet if I was in ur position.

  3. Ya that's what I have started doing and figured with only 6 days left it should become a problem as long as i'm diligent pulling them off.
     
  4. Pics could be fem throwing seeds if it's grown too long or just natural. How plant lineage keeps going

  5. I will get pics up as soon as I can, I did wonder about length of grow as I am about half a week behind on my schedule. If it is age of the plant should I just harvest ASAP? there a few sacks on the nodes, but found one growing out of a bud as well.

  6. If all ur plants are in the same stage I would just let it play out. If u have plants that are behind than I prolly would
