the bush on the left is the confirmed lady.
the one on the right is the confirmed fellow, whom i just pulled.
urban grow of outdoor blueberry.
sometimes the best hiding space is right in the open!
ok. got it out of the garden. tied down some of the neighboring female's branches so hopefully they can take advantage of the nice open space full of sunlight!
thanks a ton for your help, other posters. now that i know for sure what the male preflowers look like, i can make sure i cull them...
no prob, i have more going.
thanks for the input.
like i said, there's a big bush next to it that i'm certain is female. i'll just train the branches to use the new space!
i also have a grip of other seedling that are too early in the veg. stage to get a read on. i'd much rather find out i...
those pics help a bit, but i'm still not 100%.

one more question: should i at some point clip lower fan leaves and branches so they don't compete for air/water? if so, when should i do this?

Hey all! This site is a great source of info! I am currently doing my 1st grow. Outdoors. Using bagseed from a really potent sack of Wisconsin Outdoor Blueberry. I live pretty close to Wisconsin so i figured i'd give 'em a shot.
