A noobs nightmare!

well just started to flowering my first ever 2 plants and the biggest and best plant turned out to be male.
- just thought i,d share some pics of a male with everyone so that you can see what they look like and compare if you think you got one!!!

Cos i know its horrible being unable to tell and i hope this helps some one

Peace out!!!!

Sorry about your loss, I hope I am blessed with 4 females, though odds are against me.

I always heard that when a cannabis plant grows from a seed there are two speeds at which it grows. Female speed and Male speed, males tend to grow faster then females. So if you have two plants the same strain, you treat them the same etc, and one grows faster, most likely it's a male. Hope that made sense, and I don't even know if it's true. It's just what some growers I know have told me.

Also, I cannot test this theory because I topped my plants.. That right there will determine how fast it grows.

How many days flowering before that growth started to show? I was convinced about 10 days into flowering my plant was male. It turned out to be female. I wouldn't kill it till your 100% sure. The female growth kind of looked like little balls to me at first, then they opened up and walla...female. I wouldn't pull it till you see a bunch of little balls in between the nodes. It probably won't pollinate your other plant (unless you're a few weeks in), and it will be worth the wait.

been flowering since tuesday but seriously there has been so many ppl say its males i cant keep it!!! how,d you think its female?

That's a male.

3-4 days is way to early too tell. Give it about 10 days. If you see clusters of these balls at each node where the new growth is taking place, then it is a male. There will be 3-5 balls visible at first. Trust me, my first female looked like it had those balls for about 3 days, and I was going to kill it. Then one day some VERY tiny pistils came out.

Growing plants take patients. Just wait another week and know for sure. You will be much happier in the end if it turns out female. If it's male, then you will be able to tell for sure next time you grow.

that depends on how long he vegged for. if he vegged for 4-5 weeks its possible he saw preflowers then, and full flowers within a week of 12/12

and in that second pic u can see clusters of balls at the nodes and at the top of the plant.

yeah thats a male alright

i planted 2 at same time vegged for 2 month - the pictures are off one plant - the other has no sign of any sexing yet -they appeared in like 3 days of flowering

Dude finding out one of your first 2 plants is a male is definitely not a nightmare. I mean you gotta expect if one is female the other will be male.

agreed mate just hard to rip that bad boy out the soil after 2 month tlc - but good thing is i got 6 master Kush seeds vegging now!!!

you will get used to it, I went and chopped down my biggest blueberry plant last night.
