I've heard that females are small and flimsy when compared to males (this is referring to marijuana plants only, of course) is this true?
nah man they grow exactly the same as males do and you wont be able to tell which is which till about 8 weeks into veg
Actually, I have always noticed that plants that turn out to be male do tend to grow at a more rapid rate. No science to back this up. Just observation. For the original poster. Female plants are no more flimsy than males.
yeah there really shouldnt be a difference as long as she is not stretched for light and has a fan blowing over her. i've kept 2 fans on mine constantly and all the stems are pretty damn thick and strong
