Male or female?

Thanks for all the replies! Well my fingers are crossed it’s a girl. I’ll wait longer next time before pulling out any. I feel I may have pulled one too soon now! But it did have a ball on a stem in multiple spots but did not really have the clustering the one definite male had yet. Well it’s a learning experience.

Exactly man. Your grow. Nobody can tell you how to do it. I prefer the fem seeds cuz I like to grow 1 bigger plant or 2 instead of start with a bunch and work back to half or so. You got this yo! Keep at it and before long you be a boss.

My 2nd grow. Dwc. 3600w led. 600+ actual watt but I dont personally care about the actual watt draw, this stuff is bright.

I appreciate the kind words and encouragement. Always wanted to grow my own stuff. It’s a great feeling for some reason. But Wow man she’s a real beauty! Is that really just one plant? Makes my stuff look like little babies haha

haha yes sir, that is one plant! i have topped her prolly 80 times, have a journal going now, she is on day 19 of flower now, was only planning on flipping her on 3/1 but she got too big too fast, she flipped on 2/12.

keep posting up on here, maybe can help you thru your grow, and help you improve your game, homegrown always tastes better, its an accomplishment. and i also love the idea of knowing all the work that went into my end product.

thanks for the compliment on my plant. i gotta show you something funny.

Best of luck

Thanks man! I’ll keep you updated for sure. Already learned a lot from this grow so far. Hopefully I can take some clones so I don’t have to worry about males. And oh man I feel like it could be a female then! But also makes me wonder if the one of the other ones I tossed could have as well lol. :wall: But yeah I had two females show today with their pistols but they are two I just kept in solo cups as an experiment

It's not uncommon to get single calyx's growing from the union of a branch on females. They might resemble balls but if it's just one it means nothing. You'll know when it's a male. It will be a ball fest and there will be no doubt.

Hey guys a quick update, it’s looking almost for certain a male now. Little balls starting to cluster up. I’ll give a couple more days can’t see it too great but here’s a pic.

Give a couple more days but yeah starting to look more like a male. You got this guy.


Thing is, even if its male, its got a lot of maturing to do before it can hurt the girls


Be 100% man these things too precious not to

Yeah, it’s looking a lot similar to the other males I got. But definitely going to wait till I’m 100% sure. It’s a drag it’s also looking like the next healthiest plant with cuttings, is a male too, I’m hoping the last two are female, or at least one of them so at least I get 3/8 females. Only thing is I don’t think I’ll be able to take clones from them since they don’t have secondary growth. All my hope is on this last one with cuttings I can take. but it’s way too early to tell for sure.

Thanks for the update, where is that guy who kept saying you couldn't tell at all and kept saying it was to early. Feels good to be right lol.
Still here and yer it still seems early plus whats the rush. Even if it was male no ones completley sure which just goes to show that whatever the sex its good to wait and only fools throw at maybe and starting to look like.

If you're going to just toss the males why not just buy feminized seeds and not worry about it? I buy regular seeds but I want males. Regular seeds are not any cheaper when you end up tossing half your plants.

That specific type of preflower your talking about is kind of rare it seems though.

I know what your saying your saying it may be that wierd type of preflower that looks like it's gunna be male but ends up female.

I never experienced those so that type of preflower seems rare in my noob experience but I guess you saw ones like that often with that type of preflower structure that eventually turn female.

I pulled a plant that looked like that, didn't have the space to keep a maybe when I already had 3 females with totally different preflower structures than the "maybe" structure.

I guess he has the space to keep ones like that a little longer and needs more females in that case your right it probably is too early.

I had a bunch of bag seeds that I was hoping to get at least one good mother from to clone. But this next time around I think I’ll for sure be getting feminized seeds.
