Can you tell the sex of these 2 plants ?

Discussion in 'Indoor Cannabis Growing' started by greeny909, Mar 8, 2007.

  1. Hey all, I'm on my first grow and I read that sometimes it's possible to know the sex of a plant after it's been vegging for a while. I'm going to start flowering very soon and I took a picture of each of my plants. Can anybody make out the sex of any of these plants, or is it too early still ?

    Thanks.

  2. nice healthy looking plants. to early to tell, sorry, but don't worry dude, you will be able to tell easily. I think there was a sticky in absolute beginners on this by spanishfly, you should look at that.
     
  3. Thanks, I'll take a look at that sticky. I only have 2 plants because of my limited space, so I was just a little worried that both would turn out to be males. I'm pretty unlucky in general, so I'm praying that at least one of 'em is a female, lol. I'm going to start flowering in a day or two, so I can be patient for another couple of weeks. I only have 4 cfls (1 X 40 watt 2700k, 2 X 30 watt 5000k and 1 X 27 watt 5000k) on those 2 plants, and I'm surprised that they turned out to be as bushy as they did.
     
  4. Here's a picture of the 2 plants together, not as close-up as the first 2 pics.

  5. Those look like females to me
     
  6. doesnt look like theyre showing sex yet.
     
  7. they arent showing sex, dont know why that dude said they are female, its easy as hell to tell, people make it more complicated then it needs to be, if you see little white hairs growing, its a female, if you see a sack of balls its a male. the balls look like little miniture grapes.
     
  8. Thanks for all the replies.

    It's been a little while since I first posted this topic, and I'm currently on day 9 of 12/12 and I think I can finally tell that I have 1 female and 1 male. I'd just like some confirmation before I go chopping down the male plant. It's a slight bummer, because the male plant was both bushier and denser than the female, but I'm not going to complain. This is my first grow and I guess having 2 males would've been far worse than what I ended up with.

    PIC 1:I think this one is male, I see those small balls, but is it too early still or is it a definite male ?

    PIC 2:I'm pretty sure this one is female. I see the two white hairs coming out of the pistils on various parts of the plants.

    I posted this in my journal also, but nobody replied there yet and I'm obviously dying to know if I should get my chopping scissors ready ! I read that males should be chopped not long after 2 weeks of 12/12 pass, so I figure the longest I can wait is 5 more days. I don't want that male to infect the female.
     
  9. Go ahead you're right
     

  10. Thanks, I hope the male is getting a good nights sleep right now, because it's going to get executed in the morning.
     
  11. number 1 is definitely a male KILL IT!
    but as for the other little girl plenty of light and water and you should be looking at some primo bud------Peace Out
     
  12. Did you sharpen your guillotine!!! What about the blindfold? Did you get a blunt ready? gotta have a smoke for the condemned plant.
