How to Make a Male Pot Plant Female

Many marijuana growers prefer female plants as they produce the buds we all love to smoke, while male plants only contribute pollen which can ruin a batch of female plants. It is impossible to ensure that only female plants will grow from cannabis seeds or clones, but fortunately, there is a unique method to make a male plant produce female flowers. This article will discuss how to turn a male pot plant female and the advantages it offers to growers.

Understanding the Basics

When it comes to cannabis, there are two distinct sexes: male and female. Male plants produce pollen sacs or balls, while female plants grow pistils, which are the small, hair-like structures located near the base of the flowers. In most cases, both male and female cannabis plants contain around the same level of THC; however, female plants produce more resin and, therefore, are the more preferred option in most cases.

However, growers can use a method called rodelization, to make a male plant develop female flowers. Rodelization happens when a female cannabis plant develops male flowers to self-pollinate, leading to seeds with a female gene. However, this process can also occur in male plants with the help of Gibberellic Acid or colloidal silver.

Using Colloidal Silver

To make a male plant produce female flowers using colloidal silver, you will need several items: distilled water, a small spray bottle, a USB microscope, and quality colloidal silver.

The next step is to apply the colloidal silver to the male plant, either by spraying it directly onto the male plants' branches, or by soaking cotton swabs in the colloidal silver solution and dabbing them onto the stems. After applying the solution, wait approximately two weeks for the male plant to grow female flowers. To have a successful transformation, it is essential to apply the colloidal silver daily.

Using Gibberellic Acid

The second method on how to make a male pot plant female involves using Gibberellic Acid. This process is similar to using colloidal silver, as you will also need distilled water, a small spray bottle, and Gibberellic Acid.

The next step is to mix the Gibberellic Acid with distilled water to make a 0.5% solution, then spray the solution onto the male plant for at least ten consecutive days. During that time, the male plant will develop female flowers. Further Gibberellic acid application will increase the number of female flowers formed by the male plant.

Advantages of Making a Male Pot Plant Female

There are several advantages of making a male pot plant female. First, it allows growers to produce new strains from male plants. Second, growers can reduce their plant count, meet their production goals, and plant fewer cannabis plants, reducing costs in electricity, soil, and fertilizer.

In conclusion, using colloidal silver or Gibberellic Acid, it is possible to turn a male plant into a female by making it grow female flowers successfully. By following the above steps, marijuana growers can successfully make a male pot plant female and enjoy the added benefits that come with that process.
