first grow male or female confusion

[darktwilite]

my plant has matured and seems to be showing presex which i am unsure if its a male or female..
seems male like but still i would like an opinion from somebody... if its a confirmed male i can start a new grow

I would say give it a few more days. It's starting to show, but i cant see clear "balls". I can see pistles coming out. If it's a girl you'll be able to see 2 white hairs coming out behind those pistils coming out now. If it's a boy those pistols will start to look like little balls on top of the pistles.

Looks like a girl,post some pictures in about 3-4 days.

I agree on waiting a little longer. A little hard to tell

 

[darktwilite]

thanks

i managed to snap a better picture...if you could please have a look at this too

 

[newb19547]

I'm leaning towards it being female.....but a few days should tell us for sure.

 

[darktwilite]

thankyou people! should i put it in 12/12 for the next few days or just wait for it to show some presex naturally?

Definitely a girl. You have a single long claw at the nodes and no bunched up balls, this is a good sign. Congrats! Just don't do anything to stress the plant from now on that will make it hermie. Good luck.

 

[darktwilite]

woaaa ...thanks xeno!! will keep this thread alive with lots of pictures about the grow progress

 

[mysticcobe]

lookin like a female to me also man!!! congrats and goodluck!!!

How tall is she and how long has she been vegin for? If you put it into 12/12 give her a full 36 hrs of darkness before you start the 12/12. After a couple of days in 12/12 you're either going to see white hairs at the site where you snapped the pics or you'll see what looks like a cluster of small grapes on a vine.

If there are already calyxes at the nodes, why would you see balls?

Staminate: Male in form of clusters. Usually grows in clusters unlike a Calyx.

Calyx: female MJ organ. Notice the same shape as the claws on the nodes of your plant?

its looking female so far, i think i see some calyxs but no pistils yet.. if you plan to keep vegging i would say just keep going til natural presex shows.

 

[cybertonik09]

Just checking in! How is your plant looks like?Can we see it?
Thanks!

 

[darktwilite]

[darktwilite]

oh yeah i also wanted to know by what stage is secondary branching fully developed? and how strong do the buds smell when its in the flowering stage

You know, secondary branches are not the main concern here. As a general rule of thumb, you should wait until you see 'alternating nodes' or until your plant reaches a third to a half desired height you want it to be... another rule of thumb is that your pot size should be approximately 1 gallon per foot of plant growth. If you want the plant to be 5 feet tall in the end then you'll need a 5 gallon pot. Anyway, Depending on the strain of plant you have, the smell will vary. You usually wont get too strong of a smell until the buds are getting in their ripe stages. Again, the time it will take for you plant to smell and how potent it is will depend on it's strain. Good luck
