someone school me on the difference of male and female cannabis plants

Space Queen..In depth Report [Archive] - TreatingYourself.COM Online Community

here ya go... that first cross, space queen male (space dude) x orange velvet, I'm growing it out right now, it's Jillybean, and she is an absolute KNOCKOUT beauty.

I've read a lot of good stuff about Jillybean on other forums ... :jointsmile:

Wait..

Is it inherently a male or female plant, or does clipping off the males as they bloom determine it's sex?

Now I be confused.

OK, lots of mis-information floating around on this seed/sex issue ... a seed is genetically pre-disposed to one sex or the other ... additives, grow procedures, etc., do NOT determine the sex (I can feel some of you reaching for your keyboards, be patient a few seconds :D) ... the seed will sex as it was pre-determined, BUT, bad growing conditions can STRESS the plant, and nature will attempt to protect it, by reversing its sex to male ... reason being, the male plant is hardier, more able to withstand the abuse ... males normally do NOT reverse to female, although there are possible, RARE exceptions (in 40+ years, I have never seen a male sprout female flowers, but, I mighta been stoned, and missed it :jointsmile:) ... simple as that, all the SuperThrive, and other 'wonder tonics' etc., will NOT make your plants female ...
in my opinion, 'feminized' seeds should be avoided ... just grow out your seeds, select a healthy female and clone it ... most, if not all, 'feminized' techniques introduce hermaphrodites (both sexes) into the gene pool ... BAD ... and, it's a 'BAD' that spreads from generation to generation ... "protect the future, destroy all hermies!" ... :smokin:
