So this was my first year trying to clone, using the bubbble method and was almost completely unssucessful, 3 runs of 6-9 in total and only 2 made it, both in my first run. Right now I just have the one female as I pulled the other clone once it showed me it's balls. Altho the girls mom was extremely male, but may have had some pistils that I didn't see, as I take the advice of many here, to cut males asap.
So now I'm kinda worried because I've used these plots twice now and both times I've ended up with insanely high male/female ratios, seriously like 10:1 even though this year, I read up on how to get 90% plus females by controlling humidity,temp,light duration/spectrum. All things were done 3rd-5th week just to be safe and seemed to show early signs of being female. However outside they went and 1 by 1 about a week apart I would find a male this went on all summer until my crop of 20+ is now 3, although they are surely female atleast.
Needless to say I learned my lesson and wil try to refine my cloning technique to ensure this doesn't happen again. But the fact that I have a female clone off a male plant seems to indicate to me theres something wrong in the soil, perhaps colloidal silver...jk I no hermies can be stress induced but I dont see where the stress could have come from, they all seemed very healthy and grew insanely fast and big.
The female clone was placed in a seperate patch and was taken from the DAD when it was 2-3 ft tall and when I cut it was well over my head. Is this bad luck, Am I doing something wrong perhaps, or are my patchs tainted by some unknown plant testosterone? This year has dealt a major blow to my ego, as did the last time, but I really thought I had it made this year, but nature had a different idea i guess.
