Here's some backgroud:
Plants have been growing since mid-May. The plants were in pots until the end of June, then they were moved to the ground. They are smaller than you would expect because stealth is my main concern and so they don't don't get full sun all day (maybe 3 hours a day of full sun, the rest is filtered sunlight through trees). Also, to keep them inconspicuous, I use an LST method that keeps them very close to the ground. I have 4 plants - two of them get a bit more (an hour or two) direct sunlight then the other two.
The plant that gets the most direct sunlight is starting to show sex. I can't be certain, but it looks to be male. The question is this:
How risky is it to transplant at this stage in the growth cycle? If the plant turns out to be male, I am thinking of ripping it out and moving one (or both) of the two that don't get as much light to the spot where the male is now.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. By the way, I live in So. Cal (not sure if that matters or not).
