Plant Gender/PreFlower

[Finshaggy]

"What is preflower?"
"What gender is my plant?"


Here's your answer...
This is called "Preflower". By 6-7 weeks veg, if your plant doesn't have this showing, it probably wont, and you'll have to wait until flower to tell gender. But usually it'll show up a 5 weeks or sooner
Here's the pictures. It's the big hair, it's called a "Pistil". The single hair that is sticking out where the node and the branches meet

dose that mean there female

That big, single hair as you call it is not a sex organ at all. Its called a stipule. Both male and female plants have stipules.....In pic 2 though I see a female preflower way in the background of the shot....

dose that mean there female

Yes, it means their females, if they have no ball sack with it.

YES IT IS! It's called a "Pistil" or PREFLOWER, if this plant were male, you would be able to tell...
It would have a little ball sack UNDER the PISTIL...

If you see it in picture 2, "in the background" but no others. THEN YOU ARE CONFUSED. That little preflower, higher up, is no different from the ones I took pictures of. THEY INDICATE THE SAME THING

i only see a preflower in the second picture. those other pics are going to confuse the hell out of some people, there is no clear preflower in the first or last pics, i only see stipules. might want to repost them with a circle drawn around what you mean because i've grown many plants and i can't spot those preflowers.

Pistols are the white hairs, come in pairs. They emerge from the calyx. And if you have a ball sack under a pistol/calyx you got a hermi on your hands......

No, it is ALL preflower.
If it was MALE, it would have a BALLSACK UNDER THE HAIR.

It wouldn't have a hair if it was a male. All cannabis plants have Stipules. The males form ball sacks under the stipule. The females form white hairs above the stipule.

Unless it's a hermy. That's just bad gene's or a bad environment.

Hate to tell you but it certainly is not, nor would it......the link I posted has great pics and a basic botany lesson.....

No, that's just what would happen if it was male.

You're wrong.

 

[watchhowIdoit]

Glad you think so......

and sometimes even the first female and male preflowers can fool even a veteran.......

Ya'll are wrong, that IS the beginning of preflower.
WITH the nutsack it's male, WITHOUT is female.
That hair (That is labeled X in your picture) means "mature" and ALONE means "Female"

You need to get a clue. You are so wrong. Stipule is a stipule. And both male and female plants have them and they have absolutely nothing to do with a plants maturity. But keep believing what you want to believe.....

LOL LOL LOL LOL

You can SEE ALL the hairs, EVEN BEFORE you turn on the video

LOL LOL LOL

You're confused as SHIT.

If you think that the old pictures AND the new video BOTH show the same things AND both don't show preflower.
Then you are mistaken.

I believe them all to show preflower,


BUT the video has GUARANTEED preflower, the EXACT same things you guys were saying was the REAL preflower.



Your post is WRONG. LOL LOL
Even after the edit
LOL

 

[watchhowIdoit]

You should probably learn the difference between X and Y. the X in my picture clearly marks a stipule and Y a female preflower.
