Hi James,

This happens once in a while, they usually won't pollenate, and are mutants of some type. Give it a shot, or cull and try the next one that comes along. Glad to hear you are pollenating, females here are doing this wierd (stay small) thing, and never mature. I am unsure as to why, I havent changed a thing in my program.

rock, had the same problem here on many females. most of mine were due to aborting in the heat at every stage from smaller than pea until nice developed ones, and pollinated ones going down too. and the same with a friend's plants in the same patch. we used 5-30-5 schultz's bloom enhancer as circle drenches and it seems to have toughened up those females to take the heat better and grow to maturity and also take at pollination. we got tired of seeing the same thing happening with losing females and we had good success since applying the high phosphorus ferts. not sure if it was just coincidence with having them do better after the application, but it definately hasn't hurt the plants and we have had better success since.
