The top picture is a node i'm fairly sure is female and the second picture is a node i think might be male. This is my first grow so I don't want to mistake and kill a good plant. Please help me thanks. The plant is about 6 weeks old and the potential male node is the 6th node up and the female is the 7th node up from bottom.
its too soon to tell but within a week or so you will be able to tell. it will either turn into one teardrop shaped node with 2 white hairs coming out, or a bunch of tear drop shaped balls. hairs=female balls=male
Right on man, yah I have a confirmed female from a femenized seed. This is a strain seed i got for free when I ordered mine but it wasn't feminized. Is it common for the plants to develop a large bulge where the two stems (fan leaf stem and shoot stem) meet the main stem? On my older nodes the joint where the three stems meet have a large bulbous growth on the stem. Similar to the small growth in the picture only much much more pronounced
You mean like this? http://forum.grasscity.com/sick-plants-problems/332138-blister-like-node-growths-wtf.html If so, it's no biggie.
That is exactly what I mean. Yeah I figured that they were natural for the same reason (support weight at flowering) but like i said its first time growing and I think everyone gets a little paranoid their stuff is sick lol. Thanks alot for the help
