Odd question for the experts here. This is my first attempt in growing and I am concerned about the whole male / female sex gender issue in my plants. I have looked at all the pictures on line, and I am having a problem identifying. Now it may be that I am jumping the gun and I am trying to identify them way too soon, but I'm just nervous and I want to make sure I get rid of any male's ASAP. Again its probably too soon to tell but any advice would be great. So below are pictures of my eleven babies. I kept them on a 24 hour light cycle for 4 weeks, and they have grown up great in size. I just changed the light cycle to 12/12 a week ago and I am starting to see allot of changes. Any help would be great. Please excuse the amateur photo work, I took like 3 or 4 shots of each plants top, with different flash and lighting. Please let me know what you think, if its way too soon and I should give them more time. Also how long is too long to wait to pull out the male plants? Like its been a week, I've read doing 2 weeks is fine, but several sites say otherwise, lots of contradictory information out there. Any help would be great! Thanks!!!

give it 14-20 days in 12/12 and you will be able to tell easily.
how many nodes do the plants have??
how tall are they??

Well here are a couple of pics to hopefully help you out... these are the ones i sexed a week or so ago, before i was too sure if they were male or female... within a week the males were covered with balls top to bottom and the females were full of white hairs, but you need some pics like these... the ones you have are too far away, you need to get some close ups of the nodes

FEMALE




MALE

Thank you, I'm going to give it a few more days and then see if I cant tell better. I have two already that are Female and one that is 99% a male, the rest, have nothing yet, just green. Height wise, its funny you asked that because they were all started at the same time, and all under the same conditions, but they all are different heights, from 1.5 ft to 2 ft all staggered. All under the same exact conditions, is this typical? By the way thanks again for all the help.

dude, your giving the wrong advice. those are NOT pistils, they are called STIPULES. They exist on every pot plant, no matter the sex, and they are no indication whatsoever on what your plant is gonna be bro. sorry if your confused a little bit with that one. lemme hook up some pics of female indicators for both you, and the original poster bro







- these are pics of my 1st flowering female plant. Its a dead clear indicator wether or not you have a female plant. I dont have any males to take pics of, so i cant show you a male indicator. but i hope this helps. N from the looks of it on your plants, from what i can tell, you got a female brother, but i wouldnt count your chickens before they hatch. give them another week or two,and youll know for sure.

dude those are female pre flowers that are circled... the STIPULES are not circled and am not pointing at them at all... that is the exact place that the pistils came out, and the reason i used those pics and not one that shows the pistils that were emerging was the fact that he is early for sexing and i wanted to show him what the pre flowers looked like... dont you think i kinda figured that the stipules that were on all 9 of my plants were not signs of sex? and also if i were talking about them dont you think i would have circled them? did you not notice the male pics? i guess since i circled the balls on one, that is normal and all plants have balls male and female?

I am looking for some help with my first grow. I put these plants into flowering 8 days ago and I am having trouble figuring out the sex of the plants. I know its still early but i guess i'm just an excitable first-grower and i'm anxious to know. Anybody who wants to take a look at my plant pics and give me a little advice would be much appreciated.

thanks

quick note on your shorter plants. if you mark the shorter plants before you force flower to sex them youll discover than the MAJORITY of the time your shorter,stalkier plants are going to end up being female.
