Only Boys Came To The Dance
Hi All...........
I've got one plant, a 716 Greer/Vader 2000, with a 20' main and 12' sides
that has just now produced it's first, and as space becomes limited,
possibly only female! Plant seems otherwise normal. Good stable growth,
no visible mutations, no signs of bloating or wilting, no damage from bugs,
disease or sun - and lots and lots of males. Two other plants (702 Brock
and 656 Bhaskaran) seem light on females, and still two others (676
Greer/Vader and 567 Zunino) have abundant females on both the mains and
sides. All plants get the same water, soil, sun and fert.
My question to the list....Is this just genetic luck of the draw, or can
environment effect whether and how many females a plant decides to produce?
