    in the reading iv been doing i over read that generally when growing, a precursor to identifying male or female begins with the size of sprout around sprout to 25 days. generally females will grow slower and lower than then males whereas males will grow at a faster rate ? yeah taking genetics and others into consideration, is this generally true ? ill be getting a bag soon so itll be nice to get some input for my grow.

    or is this complete bs ?

    While generally it is true, it is not always the case so don't kill them because they may be male before sexing them.

    i recommend ignoring all this "expert" advice. this advice should only be taken into consideration once you have a few grows under the belt. Play it safe and grow till the preflowers

    For the first 4 weeks of my grow I had 1 plant out of 4 growing taller and bushier then the other 3, so I thought that it was probably going to be a male. Now in another 3 weeks, 2 others are way bigger and it's about even with the smallest one. So I wouldn't recommend going by that method because you don't really know what's making the plant grow bigger than the rest, just 1 of the possibilities out of 1000 is that it is because it's a male.
