Technique
Last week I did my second topping at the 3rd knot. I wanted to test what some mainlining methods said: leave the shoots from the 1st node. But, during the week that followed, I realized that if indeed these shoots from the 1st node were developing quickly and strongly, those from the 3rd nodes were developing significantly more slowly. So yesterday, first day of week 6, I decided to remove the shoots from the 1st node, and return to the method I used during my last session. I can see this morning that the growth of the 3rd node has resumed! These plants are magical :)
All plants develop normally. even if they have a bit of a punk side at the moment, they are in great health and growing vigorously! The one that was broken and therefore has a late topping has a funny shape, but it is growing. The breaks have solidified and are now very hard. Well, let's be clear, if she shows any sign of stress or isn't developing as she should, I will remove her mercilessly. In a 1m2 growing room, it is better to have 4 plants in excellent health with room to grow than 5 plants, 1 of which is a little... doubtful. Let's just say that for the moment, she's on borrowed time!

As you can see on the three last photos, I have « balls » appearing on branch forks on one plant. Hermies or not hermies ?!

Definitely some male flowers and there seems to be quite a lot of them.. If they only appear on the branch forks of the main trunk and not on the nodes just pluck 'em but keep an close eye on that girl of yours.. If they start coming from the branches of the nodes also I'd say your fucked😞

Damn.. Looks like a straight up trait of OG Kush those pesky ballsacks. Sorry for your loss.. Didn't even realize we were running the same strain but from a different seedbank/breeder. Mine is pushing balls also at the same weeks from the main branch forks and I've yet only plucked about five of them off because they have only appeared on the main stalk and not on the nodes/flowers (keeping a VERY close eye on the nodes.) We'll see if the fucker goes full on hermie but I haven't had the heart to chop "her" off just yet because it's still manageable through a little reparative therapy. Hope your other beautiful ladys won't go Bangkok on you. Pz n luv bro
edit: What is a little interesting detail from yours/mine is that all the male flowers are coming only from the main stalk/node forks.. Now that you decided to chop her off I almost hope mine will start to develop those in the nodes/flowers also and go full hermie so that your sacrifice would have been the right call and have no regrets of losing "her"😔
edit2: Damn.. just went through a lot of journals considering cannabis hermaphrodism and just as I expected the strains that are really notorious for going bananas are the ones with Blueberry (which I already knew from experience,) Gorilla Glue and Kush genetics (OG being pretty much the worst of the Kush family.) Anything having Thailand sativa background also has the tendency of growing a pair.. hmm.. does the environment affect us humans as well since Thailand is pretty notorious of their ladyboys😂

@Budophile, Hi guy !
Yes, so in fact, I found balls on 2 of the 4 plants: The one that I "suicided" and the one that you can now see in the foreground in the setup.
I decided to fire the first one because it showed other more advanced signs of hermaphroditism: quite a few balls (around ten), shorter than the others and a much slower growth rate than the other 3 sisters. This one would have gone into a tailspin, that’s for sure!
On the other hand, the second one, the one that is still in place, only had 3 well-placed ball sacks, so I carefully removed them.
As for the 2 at the back, they are impeccable. A model of what every grower would like to have in their setup!!!
It's always a question: "I release it / I don't release it...". But when you're 70% sure it's going to go wrong, that's enough to do what needs to be done. And clearly, I would rather lose 15-20% of my harvest than the whole thing.
Why only 15% loss? Because even if I removed 1 out of 4 plants, the ones that remain will be able to grow much better using the space they have at their disposal. It doesn't seem like much, but it makes a big difference in the end, with each buds easily growing 10% more. You can already see what I mean in photo 15. The remaining plant is spreading and growing very well ;)
Chuss bro, and good luck with your growing!

Damn bro, looks like you're gonna haul around the same weight with more than twice less wattage.. and plants! That Lumatek seems like a beast!👊 Can't wait to see what you'll be cooking in the next few weeks. BioBizz nutes FTW. Didn't have the money the buy the whole nutrient schedule since it's around 250€/grow but maybe next time I'll try those fancy ass microbes/activera and whatnot which I don't have any experience on just yet.. Seems like they're doing their job well, very healthy looking plants amigo
