need advice (edit: pics added!)

some of you may remember that last year i posted in the OTD forum that i had found a field of hemp.
the problem was that all the plants got fertilized and all of them turned out to be males with no good stuff, only seeds.
i went there today to check if anything was growing this year, and to my satisfactoin plants are already more than a foot high.
but this time, i want to change the fact that they will all become males. i want some flowers!
so does anyone have any advice on what i should do? i'm really not knowledgeable in the gardening realm, and i was hoping some of you guys could help me out.
thank you.

well sir, this feild im guessing is someone elses grow. so i would do the right thing, and not steal it. grow your own. bad karma comes back to you always.
but yeah, you wont be able to tell if they are male or female for a little while, probably another 6-7 weeks until they start to flower.

well whoever's field this is, they definitely aren't taking care of it because last year everything ended up rotting under the sun.
i'm hoping this year i'm able to reserve a better destiny to a few of these plants.
so what's the time period between the moment that a plant becomes male or female, and the moment that a plant can be fertilized by pollen?

ill help!!
Plants can be both male and female in 1 called a hermy watch for those there very bad they can throw flowers(pollensacks) anytime in growth...... Then all the others will get seeds fast and NOT bud at all,they do it naturally.
NOW,if you can take a little care of the feild a bit and keep killing any plant with the pollen sacks on it.Then you may have a chance to let some girls FLOWER!
Man i remember you and i wish i could be there to just see hemp wild cool bro!! pointers Males flower way faster then females in all genetics,if you no nothing about weed then i can help been at it 28 years~~! Water and food can help but if you have nice mineral soil youll be ok with just water. The strain has aclimatized to the area now so that is a good point,mold happens on most crops left to long with rainy weather.When you find some girls mark them for checking they will have little white hairs growing out of tips and arm pits of branches hopefully without the male pollen sacks also,if you can find a CLEAN girl with NO balls(pollen sacks) ok then!!! Usually with hemp there WILL be hermies,so watch carefully every other day at least......
So chop all males as fast as they show,unless you see 1 with a great thick branchy look that may be a YEILDER to pollenate a girl by hand.Really you want all gone if any males are left it will kill the buds,the just grow seed instead of buds be shure go to Overgrow.com,Icmag.com or Canabis world forums and read!!!!!! good luck update please buddy!@ here..

hey thanx alot for offering your help!
ok, first of all, you said: "Usually with hemp there WILL be hermies,so watch carefully every other day at least"
so a hermy is a plant that has both pollen sacks and the little white hairs? ok i'll watch for those. so if the plants are about a foot and a half - two feet high, how much longer will it be before i can tell if they are males, females or hermies?
also, you recommended that i chop all males off. but the thing is, the field is pretty big. do you think that if i just chop off the males that surround a female in one particular area, then the female will be safe from being fertilized by pollen?
i'd guess the answer is no, because pollen can travel by air from another area.
but i really don't think its possible for me to chop off all the males; because i wouldn't be able to access them unless i step on others, and because their will probably be too many of them.
anyway, i'll keep updating man, and i'm going to try to take some pics right away!

Im just wondering why you wan't this. The THC levels are like 1/100 the amount that you have to smoke normaly. Or is just one of those things where you can say "I grew a feild of pot".

Jesus, a field of hemp..? You can make great ropes out of hemp!
It won't grow anything smoke-worthy.. Hemp = no sensimillia. That's what he meant.
Please, as others have said, go read something (specifically on OG; their FAQs) about growing marijuana BEFORE you wanna indulge.
I mean, you're talking about males which grow seeds. You're either talking about the male ball sacks or you're talking about hermaphrodites, but hermies grow flowers (as flowers ultimately produce the seeds), but you haven't seen any flowers, so I believe you're just talking about male ball sacks. Btw, the word is pollinated, not fertilized..
If they're males, you can't change anything about it.. Gender is believed to be genetically pre-determined, or others think it has something to do with the circumstances (e.g. temperatures, light density/hours, avalaible nutrients, etc) in which the germination period happens (so that's way too late for you now). You can make them go hermie with certain techniques, but what do you wanna achieve with it..?
As has been said, hemp is worthless, so you're pretty much wasting your time if you want somethign to smoke..

Okay well since it is a feild i would say it will be impossible to pull all males and hermies. Did you say it would grow without any sort of care like it did last year? If it grows with no care i would let it grow and just come back and check on it during flowering. Once the hairs turn about 60% brown i would harvest the buds. You really want to harvest when the trichromes get cloudy but since it is just hemp it doesnt matter that much. Also how do you know it is hemp? If it is hemp it isnt worth much of your time or the risk of getting caught to my advice is let it grow and get seeded and everything and then harvest it. Smoke the result. If you actually get high then it prolly wasnt hemp and it would be worth caring for next season. If you dont get high which you prolly wont if your sure its hemp then it could be a waste of your time however they are lovely plants and if you just want some plants to grow you could keep growing them.

i finally took pics!
so here's the field, its about 150 meters long, and these are pics taken from each end of the field. sorry the quality isn't great.
and this is just one plant that i spotted, on which seeds are starting to grow.
[image]
I think practically all of the plants are hermies, and i have a feeling that they will all carry seeds only, no buds, just like last year. its kind of sad that i wasn't able to do anything...

question about the hermies, would all of the flowers have the male pollen sacks or would they be on a few of the buds?
