help im growin blue cheese and they are in there 5th week of flower but at this stage can they still turn into male ????????

You should at this point know if they are male or female, and possibly hermies. if they are actually flowering now then the sex should be pretty much locked in place. You cna always do a scan of the nodes and look for balls just in case.

mate i no there female as there buddin but i have just looked at one and it looks a bit different i just wanted to no if there is a risk they can turn to male ??????

Any female given enough stress can produce MALE NANA's. These are little yellow banana shaped looking things that can come out of a calyx or bract.

It can't full out turn into a male... however stress can turn it into a hermaphrodite... meaning that it has both female and male flowers. The most common mistake I believe that causes this, would be an inconsistent light schedule... perhaps your power went out? Or if you don't have a timer, perhaps you forgot to flip the switch one day? Other factors could be dramatic temperature changes, or perhaps your plant is in too small of a bucket, and the roots have no where to go (root bound).

You have to think relative to nature... Just imagine if the sun didn't come up for a day... And I don't mean a rainy day, but pitch black, it never rose. The plant wouldn't understand what is happening... it wouldn't make any sense. This particular plant, along with many others, has the unique capability to produce male and female reproductive organs... ensuring its future by the male flowers pollenating the female flowers. The plants true goal is reproduction; the male wishes to get the female "pregnant" more or less (male flowers release pollen that when in contact with the female flower, or the bud you smoke, produces seeds) so that when the female dies that winter, it will leave behind her seeds that will sprout next spring.

But to answer your question, no it cannot turn into a male. If it is week 5 you would have clearly seen pistils similar to your other females - if you never saw pistils, then chances are it was a male all along. If you are starting to see tiny ball sacks forming under the nodes, then you had a male all along - if the plant displays pistils as well as ball sacks (which look like tiny bananas once the open up) then it is a hermaphrodite. Either way - if you see these small green balls/yellow bananas forming under your nodes, you have to kill the plant, otherwise you will risk pollenating your whole crop, thus producing seeded buds, which is obviously undesirable.

the plant has buds on it so does this mean im ok??????
