I can figure it out

[Tarrsque]

I cant figure out if this a male or a female plant?

edit: moved to growing forum- flynn

head over to the growing section. im sure you find some answers there

all leaves and no bud makes me go ko ko kooo ko kooon

[flynn]

probably a bit early to tell. can you get a closer, clearer picture of where the plant branches off. here is a pic i googled which might help...

the girls should produce little white spurs or hairs, the boys produce a hairless sac ( ) at the branching points...



hope that helps....

higher/sammy want to elaborate, i don't know all of the technical terms

[canadianbud]

i havnt grown yet but im about to start a few plants with my friend. I heard that when you find out its a male plant you like kill it cos it could pollinate the female, is this true?

[Weedguru Higher]

Yes its true.

You can grow male plants if you want, they will give you loads of seeds. The bud is still smokable though way lower THC levels.

You growing indoors or outdoors?

im plannin on growin outdoors, got my hole thing set up, guna plant em next week so ive been researching. If males give seeds, ill just move the males away so i can get seeds for future grow's. How far away d'yu think we be safe.

To avoid pollinating nearby females, put a plastic bag over male plants before cutting. Keep breeding males totally isolated from flowering females by moving a mile or more away. Growing males indoors under a light is the most secure way to avoid unwanted pollination.

I can't grow indoors because of parents and such, so i'll probably move them away. Do males create usable seeds on their own or do they have to pollinate a female and the female creates?

[Weedguru Higher]

They create them on their own.

[canadianbud]

sweet deal, thanks for the help !

Like flynn said, its too early to see visual differences (at least at my plants it is). You can better wait till they get in bloom-period. That's about late July/August.

Good luck.

Here's another pic showing the difference



Tarrsque, is yours an indoor plant??

If you are growing indoors you will be able to detect them when you switch to a 12/12 light cycle. It is critical to remove the males at first detection. Outdoor, the time is going to vary a bit. Most likely in July or August , but that all depends where you live, when you planted and what light the plant is getting. Of course this is unless you pre-force them . read below

Early Sexing

It's possible to tell the sex of a plant early, and thus move male plants out of the main growing area sooner by covering a plant's lower branch for 12 hours a day while it's in a constant light vegetative state. Use a black paper bag or equivalent to allow for air flow while keeping out light. Be sure to set up a regular cycle for these covered branches. If light is allowed to reach them during the dark period, they may not indicate early at all.

Use a magnifying glass to look at the early flowers sex type. A male plant will have a small club (playing card) looking pre flower with a small stem under it. A female flower is usually a single or double pistil, white and wispy, emerging from an immature calyx.

Some people like to pre-force plants when they are 8" tall, in order to weed out the males. When growing outdoors, many growers do not wish to devote time, space or energy to male plants. Just put the plants on a 12 hours light cycle for 2 weeks, separate the females from the males, then revert the light cycle back to 18-24 hours to continue vegetative growth for the females. Keep in mind, this is a time consuming process and can put the plants back 2 weeks in growth. Don't pre-force plants unless you have lots of time. Just cover one branch per plant with black paper (light tight, breaths air) 12 hours every day under constant light to force pre-flowers and differentiate early.

Its definitley indoors, but that information helps. I will post up some more pics as time progresses. I am leaning towards a female but its too early to tell. I have just been usuing sunlight on the window sill and watering with spring water. I leave it on the window all day, but I live in South Florida so its pretty sunny all the time.
