Pic two shows the two hairs that tell you it's a girl 100%. As long as you see those pair of hairs instead of little balls you're dealing with a lady. Hope that's what you wanted.

I started two plants to see what this year’s grow will bring. I these two were females then this year ill be growing for a yield. if one is a male and one is a female then i guess ill be crossing the two. The second pic is a Sour Pineapple Strain. The first pic is a Sour Space Candy Strain.

You can always clone the second one and kill the male if it's a male to grow out two or more of the sour pineapple since you know it's a girl. The clones would be a little behind the mother as far as veg time but not too bad. Just a thought for you. Just depends on what you want to do.

If the Sour Space Candy clearly shows its a male later on then ill just be breeding the two. Would you by any chance know what i can do to breed them together? At that point, will that be considered breeding my own strain as far as the seeds that the Sour Pineapple produces after getting pollinated from the Sour Space Candy? I really do love the smell and taste of the Sour Pineapple. The effects of both strains are pretty potent imo. Will the seeds that are produced be feminized seeds or regular seeds? Btw the Sour Space Candy is a cross between Sour Tsunami x Early Resin Berry. The Sour Pineapple is a cross between Sour Tsunami x Pineapple Tsunami. So both strains have the Sour Tsunami genetics but they are both from different breeders orginally. Sorry for so much questions. Thank you for your help and knowledge.

You can do an open pollination where you just put the two of them next to each other and let nature take it's course or you can collect pollen from the male plants flowers and apply it to the female with a small paint brush by flicking it or very gently brushing it. They would be regular seeds and you would be creating a strain. It's possible someone else has already crossed those two before, I'm not sure. You can do some reading and find out. I grow for medical needs so I cull all my males and only grow out my girls but breeding your own seeds is a cool process. Check out the chuckers thread on the seed and strain review forum for some good guidance on how to breed correctly. Those guys are pros.

A single cross just mixes two different genetics. Offspring would be very inconsistent.
Selectively breeding with the offspring, and backcrossing, could eventually produce something more consistent. That i would consider a strain.

Would backcrossing mean that i breed these two plants first, then with the seeds that are produced, I would then use those seeds to grow a male and female and breed those two plants creating another set of seeds? Would those seeds be considered the strain of more consistency?

Whats the likely hood of the Sour Pineapple getting seeded out from the Sour Space Candy if i just keep these two plants next to each other for the whole grow and let nature take its course? would i even have anything to smoke from the Sour Pineapple once this process is over?
