first sex signs?

i got 5 plants growin and theyre gettin pretty big. i have 3 feminized and 2 that were just normal seeds. im a first time grower and would appreciate if someone could tell me when will they start showing sex signs?


i just want to beware so that they dont flower then pollenate the ladies!!! i go water them about 2 times per week and they seem to be doin okay so far... i might have to go a little more often but for right now its working great!

if they are not auto flowering you wont be Abel to tell if you dont put them in the 12/12 light schedule. i see that you are growing outside ? if so you got to Waite till the days start to get shorter to tell.

alright, thanks for the help. i had no idea but hopefully ill be able to catch the males in time!

Outdoors, eh? It's tricky cuz' who knows whose growing' what within some busy bees's pollination range, ie: spork wouldn't have to come from ones own grow.
Spork = male pollen . . . today anyway.
Good luck.

not true, you can see preflowers before you flower, you just need magnification.

here you go

Every strain has some level of autoflowering characteristics. Just like every strain has the potential to go hermaphrodite. It's conditional. You are probably correct that in an outdoor environment, Dude will have to wait until after the days start gradually getting shorter.

thanks for the help. and the pic was very nice... thank you!
ill try to look at them with a loupe or magnifying glass soon. thanks for the help everyone!

ill post pics soon and then hopefully you guys can help me cause im a first timer and dont know what im doing

Yh primeralives it right the first signs are at the stem as you see in the pic
(a Female will grow white hairs and a male will grow like balls ...at the very start
