Early Female ID

here are the others... I think I might have double posted one of the pics

Yeah, I see the red in the petioles,.... and if the theory holds true they should be girls,.... I guess I should blow it out of the water and take pics of my Vanilluna seedlings,.... but that wouldn't be fair because that strain has PURPLE stems! :cool: Edit; and one of them should be a male, which would smoke the color thing..... if they're both female I'll be somewhat surprised.

What I'm trying to say there is that IMO the coloration of the Petioles "May" be an indication depending on strain, but when dealing with a strain that purps like my vanilluna it's gonna be really hard to say based off of color.


I'm working the "Crater" method of SEED sexing and not focusing on the color of stems.

I know which beans were which when I germinated them and am waiting for the sex to show.

If there's a correlation in sex to the color of the petioles I'll make mention of that when its said and done,.....


I really wish I wasn't so restricted on my plant count! :(

of these to see if that theory hold any trueth for me... I REALLY hope it does... I am also doing this topping method... its basically top as soon as you can top and keep on topping... this guy gets about a lb off of each plant.... craazy YouTube - ‪how KoMA gets all these KHOLAS on 1 plant‬‏

I would like to get even 1/2 that... lol.... 4.5 lbs... YES PLEASE

Wow,.... that guy was :stoned:



Training would better suit the purpose, but takes a little more knowledge and work ;)



None the less lets not derail this thread! :hippy:



Post up your pics when you have em sexed. And let us know if the red speckling on the petioles worked out.

WW would like to keep this thread down to results and not muddy it up to much with BS.

:o (guilty already)

oops, sorry! I will def post pics when i see so me results... :) Great thread.....:)

thank you so much for posting that link (recognizing sex of a seed). I am thrilled to see something that might help with early detection of female plants. I have never heard of this, but am going to go through my seeds and start sorting and testing it out. How do these websites, etc., guarantee female seeds that they are selling?? They have to have a method, maybe this is it! What was the results from 2010's growing season, were the seeds you thought were female truly female plants?

Well the theory has been proven to not always hold....both of them. So we could say they are generalities. They are not fact nor set in stone. There are many differences between different species.

Shit,.... lost a bunch of posts in this thread too! :(


My round of crater method sexing was 100% WRONG!!!!!! The two with the roundest holes, both males,.... the one with an irregular hole, female!

At least I did get a male Vannilluna so I can gather some pollen.

well the red spots method has proved right on 2 plants so far! some of the pics are a little more obvious than others... but yea. enjoy! I just switched them all to 12/12 as well so the others god willing if they are female will soon show :)

Yeah, but like Washougal said, some strains never get any color to the stems. and my Vannilluna has dark purple stems on both sexes.

For the White Widow tho, the female does have red in the petioles, and the male (in this instance) did not.

So while it "may" be an indicator, it evidently won't work for every strain.
