anyones guess

male or female...

i kinda have a feeling, but i wanted to get others opinions. this is my biggest plant right now just at 26", and it's got tons of offshoots that are growing like madd. all of mine have been under 12/12 for 6 days now, i have 3 females for sure, (as I'm positive how to identify them), but I also heard the sexing can happen slowly too and not to kill any of them till I am 101% sure...and as the biggest plant...i want to be 101%

thanks for the guess

i think i see balls which would indicate male, but its hard to tell

i can't see any balls on this pic! really make another one and focus on a single upper furcation only with this pic i would only take guesses but would give answers, and for sure not one like doobs does that easily!

thanks for teh guess doob

yea...hard to tell is right...

and thanks for the post green...attached is another couple quick pictures.

Unfortunately, the top nodes are so close together, and so much new growth coming, that it is damn hard to get the digital camera to freakin focus on that small of an area (it usually tries to get a focus on a big leaf, so the part I want to zoom in on is blurry...

i keep telling myself..."YES...I see a white hair!!!"...

but alas...no white hairs...only tiny little "nubs"...but not multiple balls yet, so I'll hold out hope...at least for a few more days.

I guess the only advantage of killing this one may be that I can give my true fems all the room and light they want.

I also have 2 indicas... that aren't near as tall, and neither of them has really shown sex yet either, but arent they suppose to mature and flower sooner than sativas? (btw- one of my sativas showed sex after 2 days of 12/12. I really hope to have one fem out of the 2 indicas so I can taste the difference (and maybe harvest sooner if quicker maturity means I can)

^^can't see no balls... but also no hairs, you say that is 6 weeks into flower now?? by then the babies should be covered in buds already??? especially with indica strains...

what lights do you use to flower with?

i would wait a bit longer and see if anything shows, balls don't develop in a single day, it takes weeks too

rofl...noooooo

6 DAYS into 12/12...not weeks...lol i wish...i'd be setting the harvest date if that were the case!

No I guess I'm being the n00b inpatient type that, after seeing my first female after 2 days of 12/12, with another 3 (not 2 as previous post suggests) showing the lovely white hairs within the last few days, only hoping to see all my plants showing sex close together...

I'm waiting, as even once they really start showing sex, it can still be pulled without pollinating right?

okay then, it can take for ever till they show their sex sometimes, especially with CFLs (or even worst CFLs in the wrong range and low power). it normally shows after up to two week with some CFL power or HPS. be a bit more patent and don't listen to fucks that can see any shit but want to tell something since they love to hear themselves talkin all funkin day long you for sure can better tell if something as balls which growing right in front of your face than we can by lookin at some pics of it

by no means did i tell him to jump to the conclusion of it being male, he asked for a guess

and more it wasn't really, just an baseless guess

is there a problem?

yes, i guess so! you can't tell for sure if it is a male and new growers then to over react on this quiet a bit, so the chance is high that such a statement could let to the termination of a perfect female plant. you get the point?!

bro it was a guess, all he had was one pic to look at, your making a bigger reaction out of this then its worth, lol and its not even your plant. your right about new growers over reacting, but he had his head on straight. try not to get your panties in a bunch, can you say buzzkill?

ok ppl chill.

it cant be a buzz kill when im not buzzed right (im out) lol.

I'm waiting, and I wasnt making any decisions based on one person, which is why i asked for opinions...cause just like assholes...everyones got one.

I'm still waiting...as i was NEVER expecting to see the sex this early on...but when 4 out of 7 are already proven to be female...after just 6 days...i'm a happy boy!!!

if it turns out to be another female, then I am reeeeeeealy happy since its my biggest plant. if not, like i said, it will give much needed light and space to the females.

no worries on all fronts...like i hope, the males (if they are), are not ready to pollinate yet, so I have tome to be sure they are male before yanking them.

yes im a n00b, but its all good when it comes to learning to grow my own than rely on others for my personal stash.

BTW- i am using CFLS and tubes...all are "OTT LITE" brand specifically made for growing. it may not be everyones choice, but it's what im trying as a first grow to see what type of success i get...even if it's just a fat quarter it will be worth it knowing i did it myself.
