Can anyone identify the gender of this plant?

4TheGrow · Oct 11, 2020

Question: Do you think this plant is female? Male? Or a Hermaphrodite? Or is it too soon to tell?

Strain: Unknown
Location: Indoors
Pot Size: 7G
Lights: 1200W LED + T5 lights placed simply because i have them laying around.
Humidity: 45RH
Stage: Vegetative. ( its been about 60-65 days since planted ( germinated directly in soil ).
Notes: I've set up a scrog net for my plants, ive confirmed one is female but i am unsure what this specific plant's gender is. I need to know before they grow into the SCROG and i start my flowering phase. Please keep in mind im relatively new to this, my experience lies with auto-flowering plants, but i do ask that you please provide an explanation to your answer so i can learn from the experience. Also i have looked into different pictures of the corresponding sexes. I understand a female plant has a string coming out of it and is usually longer in shape compared to the stick and ball etc.

Gonna say male unless you see white hairs coming out of those calyx/sacks on the intersections of the stalk.

Yes i have one female plant in which the gender is clear, im just confused about this one as im not sure if that's going to be a ball and stick or a stick with a string. All of my plants are the same age, i read that females show their sex later than males so im hoping its also a female.

From the shape it appears to be female . Male "balls" look more like balls and females look pointy and more elongated.

I have uploaded new pictures, the USB microscope seems to be broken. I will try to fix it and post something more clear once i can. Thank you all for your advice so far

It could still be too early for that one. You want some white hairs to pop up tho by those corners. If all you see are those little sacks then it's a male for sure. My best guess not a full female. So far it looks like 100% man parts

That was my thought as well, perhaps it will be more clear after some time. Should i attempt to flower on schedule if gender doesn't show? I read that it takes 1-2 weeks for it to pollinate other plants. My idea was to move on according to schedule if nothing is concrete for the first week of flowering.

I suppose all i can do is wait a bit more.

HydroKid239 · Oct 11, 2020

I am a little worried about the others. Are you sure the others are female?

That is the best way to go, just to be sure. Is there any way to separate them until you are sure just in case?

I have on confirmed female. Then 3 other plants. Two of which i believe to be male so far..and the one i posted here which im hoping is female. My plan was to flower a week from now, I may push it to 2-3 weeks then remove confirmed males..and keep this one to go through the first week of flowering if im still unsure before i kill it off. This will be my last grow for a while so i really want to get as much as i can out of it.

Only have the one tent as of now. Can't seperate but they are still in their vegetative phase. Plan is to eliminate males, perhaps make use of the leafs and stems. My female plant is currently my biggest plant and is just about to touch the scrog net. This is a group picture

Just let it go and see what happens, i would bet my money on female
