Can you tell sex of plant during veg? I have the plant under CFLs and it hasn't shown any signs of sex yet about three weeks in. Got it from a bag of Dat Purp and hoping its a lady...
There's no way to tell and be 100% sure. But the tallest ones are usually turn out to be males and shorter ones are usually females in my experiences.
Thanks. I was looking around a bit and found some things that you could do to tell. Not sure if they work though. 1. Snip a clone and put it under 12/12. 2. Snip a clone and wrap a garbage bag around it and force it too flower. Anyone have had any success with these techniques?? or know anything about em??
Yes there is a way to tell and be 100% sure, Height of the plant only tells you if you got a sativa or an indica strain. You'll need a magnefier 10x or better, and about the 3rd or 4th week of veg you can check for sex. I've done it for years and never was I wrong about it....when checking you'll want to check where new node growth is. In the corner of it (the stem attached to the new growth) you'll see either a club like ball (thats a male) or a pig tale (thats a female). You don't need to induce flowering to tell the sex. Again, telling by height is not 100%. That is only to tell the difference between strains. Sativas are tall and Indicas are short.
Dude, all that is unnecessary. Just check the new node growth with a magnefier, once you see it you'll never forget how to check sex during veg.
yup yup, If you veg a plant to sexual maturity , 30-40 days I would estimate, you can usually see pre-sex pretty clearly, even with the naked eye.
I have a 10x magnefier, but you can see it with 3x on up. Once you figured out how to sex during veg. you won't even need a magnefier. You can get one at wal-mart or target, or a hydro store. They are all over the place.
