Help with the sexing

I am not even sure if these are the pictures of the right thing. The plants are all about a month old, they need to be transplanted but I am hoping to figure out the sex of them before I waste a bunch of soil on some males. Thanks for any help anyone can give, I have put numbers in the pictures.

Can anyone help?

Man I wish my camera could take pic's like that. I don't see any signs of sex except the first pic in the bottem row looks like a pod. Give them another week or so. They will usually preflower and show their sex by week 6-8...... Males always seem to show first.

difeinitely a quality camera. like my man said just wait until the first 2 weeks of flowering 12/12 . let those veg for about 2 months under 18/6

Mine is just one of those canon digital elphs. I didn't know it could take close up pictures until I decided to try, there is a digital macro setting in there. I guess I am just going to have to transplant them all, I just watered last night and not even 24 hours later the pots feel really light. Maybe with the males I can just reuse the soil on something else, maybe even fill in my garden outside.

Oh and by the way, taking pictures like that is hard since the image stabilizer doesn't work in that mode. They looked really nice before I had to resize them.

Yea, definitely a bad ass camera. Yea, I would just transplant them anyways, it will be good experience for you if this is your first grow.

I also have a macro setting but I can't take pic's like that.... I was looking closer at your pics and the second one from the left on the bottem also has a pod but I can't tell if it has 2 small hairs or if those are hairs from the plant showing over the top making it look like they are coming out of the pod..... Take a closer look in a few days....

You talking about picture 8? They are numbered.

Damn I'm stoned....

It's the second pic in the bottem row. 8-2 is what pops up when i move the cursor over the pic....

Ok yea, we are on the same page here. Yea, does somewhat look like what you described. Like everyone else said, just wait a little longer and you will definitely know.

I didn't realize it retained the image names either, cool feature, most forums don't have that. I think I am going to transplant today then, I am guessing 2 gallon from my 1 gallon, I just gotta get more of the ocean forest soil, probably 2 bags for the 8 2 gallon pots.

Yea, go as big as possible. You don't want to get to the flowering stage then realize 4 weeks in you need bigger pots. Yea, that Ocean Forrest rocks!

lemon, would you mind sending me the unedited files? maybe rar them? the reason i ask for this is because those would be awesome as a desktop background. many thanks!

Sure no problem, is there a way to attach it here or you could just pm me your email. By the way normal res on these are 2816x2122 and you are looking at about 40megs for all the pictures I took like this uncompressed.

I am growing under CFL so I don't want them to get too big, plus limited area. Unless about half of these turn out to be male I am going to have to engineer a bigger ligth setup.

whew thats diggity dern big, but im down for it if you can upload it! my monitor never goes beyond 1440x though. is it easy to compress or are there a lot of steps? do whatever is easiest for you, i dont like asking people to work lol

I'm not talking about the plants being big, I mean the pots. Those roots will grow fast and want more room. Get some small as pots and you will run into problems. But 2 gallons should be enough.

All I have to do is right click and rar it, it takes a few seconds. Just PM me your email address.

Well I went down and got two big bags of fox farms and 8 10quart pots and transplanted them all. They still fit under my little fixture thing pretty well, shoulda gone with the 7 quart ones though. I can fit 6 perfect though, so maybe ill get lucky and have 6 of 8 female, but it will probably be the other way around.

Wish you the best of luck my friend!
