As an experiment, I germinated several seeds of Wheelchair Indica on June 1st. On July 10th I began to “shed” the three that had germinated. On July 19th one showed female and the next day the other two “went male”.

Here is a picture of one of the boys. See how it developes a pineapple look to its newest growth. This is a male calyx cluster of pollen pouches. These Wheelchair plants are very indica hardy and just plain fun to grow. My opinion at this time, however, is that June 1st is probably a bit too late to get the garden planted. If you start your garden by the middle of, or no later than late may…you’ll get bigger plants with more acceptable yields. The indica dominant plants have a better chance of getting big and mature by middle October than do the sativas.  If you get started by the middle of May, the plants will get big enough to have made it worthwhile.   The veg stage will end and the flowering stage will begin by late August no matter how big or how old it might be.

Earlier this season I was shedding plants at 8.5 to 9 hours of sunlight to 15 hours of darkness. Those plants were very compliant in sexing, but it has been difficult getting those girls back into a vegetative stage. They have only grown to 3 to 4 feet tall and are now in full flower. This is not what I’m used to.

With those three Wheelchairs (two boys and one female), I’ve been shedding them like I used to do in years past, at a rate of 10 to 10.5 hours of sunlight to 13 or 13.5 hours of darkness. The plants do not show me their sex as willingly but I’ll be able to get the girl to go back into a “veg” stage  more easily.

This is what the male marijuana plants look like. Don’t look at the two spears. Look at the two small round pouches. Over the next  few weeks of growth I’ll watch those pouches develop into either the male calyx or the female calyx. What the male has to offer is the pollen. Thats what is in the pods, a powder. When even a single grain of male marijuana powder gets onto a females’ pistol…it is transported down that pistil into the female bract/calyx and onto the ovary. A seed will grow there. It usually takes between 15 and 30 days to get a viable seed.

These (pictured below) are what your female marijuana plants will look like. Females will grow a pouch (calyx) that will develop into a female ovary bract that will grow two white hairs strait up out of it. It contains the ovary that can grow a seed. These creamy white hairs are called pistils. Eventually trichomes grow all over these bracts and on surrounding areas.

This one (pictured above) is a very mature flower bud with the pistils dead and dried, a rusty red color.

This is a bud that is just about ready to harvest.

As I have said before, as soon as I discern that a plant is a male, I usually get rid of it. All this talk about how the females get pregnant…well I don’t want any of it. I am trying to grow seedless sensimilla pot. We want those big, sticky hand grenade size buds that are full of sugars. We do this by not allowing the females to get pollinated, (pregnant).

With these long, hot sunny days, all we really have to do is add water to these wonderful marijuana plants. Mine take between 1/2 gallon to one full gallon each, 3 times a day. Pure, clean (de-chlorinated) water is really all they need along with this Colorado sunlight. Even my “little ones” are putting on size. The big girls are just getting bigger. Keeping  them hydrated takes a lot of water.

I had been fertilizing them with heavy doses of nitrogen (ammonia) every 3 days trying to get the plants to go back into their vegetative stage.   It takes them a while to react to the fertilizer, four or five days.  Now,  I’m  hitting them all with 20-20-20 every 7 or 8 days. A little sugar or a little beer doesn’t hurt, either.

P.S.  Somebody said that tall fences make for good neighbors. Add to that a baby monitor and a couple motion detectors and you can maybe rest secure at night.
