heres a bud shot...
Nice pic, even nicer looking "trimmed' bud.
Respectable yield. What was your set up - lights, etc...?

The Super Haze leaves show a definite Indica influence, but the Sativa came out really strong in the bud. It was/is a nice three-hitter, by which I mean that three hits and the effects were nicely noticeable. :)

A couple of bud pics. They look fluffy, but looks are deceiving in this instance. The buds/nugs were hard yet pliable.

Very nice!! :wink: Set up is pretty standerd, room is 5x5 with 6'2 ceiling. That grow was under a 400w, i now have a 600w air cooled with a 4inch vortex fan.Air scrubbed with a 8inch vortex fan and mountain air carbon filter.

A way-out-there question, but not really, did you check the sacks at every internode when you noticed that the plant was male? If none of the sacks were open, read burst, then you should be alright, all things considered.

As for it being a she-male, or hermi (as in hermaphrodite), there is a technique albeit a pain in the ass, where the plant could have been spared. Using a scalpel or modeling knife and a magnifier, cut and CAREFULLY remove the sacks. The plant should continue to mature normally. The downside is in the event that not all sacks were removed, then it's time to break out the cigars because your going to be a daddy. :lol: :lol: :lol:

You'd see the dropped pollen on the leaves if it did drop any, I have a lovely male on my windowsill atm that fucking stinks (which is why I kept him) I noticed that some of the pollen and fell onto the leaves below, I'm just hoping that it hasn't got airborne and entered my grow, worst case scenario is I'll have a few seeds to play with.
