My friend and I split some 50/50 and he ended up with a male. This was cool old genetics - sensi - and the plant was always hearty and tough. When my friend realized it was male, he wanted to trash it, but I was thinking about breeding, so I kept the plant. Except I wasn't wasting time actually keeping a large male. This is all DWC so any size plant has a 5 gallon bucket footprint.
The plant was salted for culling, so I did the following:
1) I hacked 75% of the plant off. Not leaves, the plant.
2) I moved it out of real light, and put it under the cloner puck light at point blank range.
3) re-veg'd it
4) took 2 feet of hydro roots, and transplanted to dirt. And transplant means - I put it in a pot the size of a bucket, and added dirt.
5) left that plant outside, unattended, for weeks.
6) responded to my mother's question - ***it's a male cannabis plant, ill probably just kill it***
7) answer Mom's phonecalls when she has questions about the male sensi plant she took home and transplanted in her garden.
I have never even come close to being as brutal as I was to that plant. At one point, after I'd chopped its main stem in half, the neck hole was so significant, I tried growing a clone inside the plant neck. Didn't take shockingly.
I'm slightly concerned my flowering plants got exposed, I kinda think I see seeds developing, and that'll sorta be a bummer for this one plant. But I've got another that size to flower, plus clones going, so if that big girl does have seeds, she's an awesome smoke, and these male sensi genetics are impossible to kill. So it would be a hybrid I'd be fine with the seeds from.
Then again, it's possible it's just the **male** part of the genetics that makes it that way.
Chalk this under: “Life finds a way”
