  2. You should have posted this in the growing section.


    As far as I know there is no definitive way. You have to wait untill the plant begins to grow and then determine and remove the males ASAP. (balls vs. pistils)

    I know there is such a thing as 'feminized seeds' but I don't know too much about it.
     
  3. after about 3-6 weeks you should be able to tell leaves give it away males have 5 females have 7 i think somebody correct me if im wrong
     
  4. i believe a hermi plant will shed feminized seeds and i look at the preflowers, the leafs dont mean much
     

  5. ok.. your wrong.

    you cant tell until they begin flowering
     

  6. actually female seeds or feminized whatever you wanna call them is made by cloning a female then playing with the lights till they hermie then you seed up all your clones and the ones who dont hermie on you are 100% female seeds with no hermie triats so your actually right but off just a tidbit
     
  7. and FYI most seeds have a 50/50 f/m ratio better genetics have better ratios 60/40 even 70/30.Female seeds are 100% fem if you wanna know where to get it go to the seedbank section in the grow forum and post there
