Noooo!! BOOOO!!!
Yeeah…boys… sorry…
You COULD move them FAAAR away from the other plants and let them ‘do their thing’ and collect the pollen…then you can dust it onto one lower bud with a paint brush so you can have more seeds-- IF you want them!

Here’s my ladies

And what’s left of the males lol

It was so hard chopping them after nurturing them for so long. There’s a couple I’m still unsure about

awesome possum heather! you’re really rolling now. if you recycle your males back into your soil, then at least they’re continuing the circle of life. i also think of it like practicing or getting better at something, which you can’t do if you don’t work through your plants. one day, after all of this growing and occasional culling, you’ll hopefully hit on just the perfect sequence of things that’ll give you a keeper. so bye-bye boys, you’ll be missed for now! lets see what the future holds.

I’m annoyed to say the fungus gnats are back. I guess from the new soil I used. The first time I had them I used an H2O2 drench and got rid of them. Am I safe to do that again? I’m 6 days into flower if that matters

I put in some yellow sticky yesterday, not seeing many stuck on them so far. Maybe I should add more? I think I’ve got a few more

So I thought on it all day an decided to split the difference. Instead of a drench I choose to spray the top soil an leaves with a really mild solution of h202 on top of more traps

I keep the fur kids outta my tent as well as I can, but like today my mind lapsed an he went right on him. I’m almost positive the gnats came from the new soil I used.

Is there a way to sanitize soil without baking it before using it? I need to figure something out so I can avoid infestations in the future

I’ve had success with using a 5 gallon bucket with a quarter or half of a mosquito dunk in it, let it bloom for a day or so, then give a thorough watering with that, then let the top of the soil dry out. You can bottom water if you have to. That should interrupt their cycle, and you can use the yellow sticky traps to catch adults. Also, diatomaceous earth works if it is dry, so I sprinkle some of that too as the top dries. I had to cut back on the watering frequency to make them stop coming back.
