Why are these little pods appearing on my 5 week old plant??

The plants with the 'pods' on them are males, you should kill them asap before they pollinate your females.

 

De boys no bueno!

 

kill those 2 males ASAP save that last one in the back of the first picture before its too late! Good Luck hope u didn't buy those as clones...

 

Oh no....its a dooooood!

that sucks....cut 'em down.

Start from seed and/or get clones from a REPUTABLE source

 

I agree to cut the males, but put them in a paper bag and dry them and harvest the pollen for if you ever want to breed. That way you won't have to worry about growing out a male that far in the future and pollinating your whole crop. If you save the pollen, you can brush it on the bottom branches of future plants and make seeds, while having the top seedless.

 

Another noob growing weed that dont know what a male looks like.
Do yo know what NPK means?
What is P.H?

Read a book man.

 

Overall, the others are looking fine.

And ignore the smarties with their newb comments.
(Can't see a link to his journal to comment, but we all have to start somewhere.)

Just one thing - more than 75 yards for the male - bees, insects etc, even the wind, will easily carry pollen much further than that. As suggested by mjmama25, best to chop now, dry him, then save the pollen for the future.
Mind you, that's only worthwhile if it's a decent strain. Hardly worth it for bagseed. Also, label the pollen bag with the strain name or you'll forget in time.

We were typing at the same time, but I'll leave the above as it stands.

 

Starting from seed is how you can get males, unless they're feminised seeds. (I guess that's what you meant.)

 

Why do you want to keep the male? They can pollinate a crop from pretty far away. If one of my neighbors WAY down the street had a male, my plants would get seeds. You may be pollinating other nearby crops, as well as your own. The male won't be worth anything if you keep him. The most you could do is make some weak hash or edibles, but one male plant isn't much to work with. I'd really suggest pulling my now while you can. But it may already be too late.

 

Exactly. Nature is really good at spreading pollen.

Where I used to grow, outdoors, we'd get seed if someone else growing up to a quarter of a mile away had males.

 

well if you accidentally pollinate the females, All is not lost. atleast you'll get a Shit load of Seeds for your next Grow.

 

It's flowering because this is the time in the season when the days are short enough for the male plants to flower, females usually start flowering a little bit after the males. Even if your plants were 3 months old the males would still start flowering around the same time.

 

Done your research you say? Dont know what a male looked like?
Listen im on my first grow too but you can be sure i went and at least done a bit of research. You have no excuse there are plenty of pics on google.

And all the people that are gonna diss me.. c,mon did you know what a male looked like before your first grow?
