Please dont take me for an idiot by asking this but im pretty sure that this is a female. I just want to make sure because on the pics i've seen the pistils form at the nodes, i think, and mines have not. The first pics are of the pics i've seen on how to sex them and the 2nd pic is my plant. Tell me if you think this is a female or not.
can you take a pic from above or up close so we can actually see what your arrow is pointing to.,
How old are they bud?
ok guys here are some more pics hopefully these will help. This plant is 74 for days old and its only been flowering for like 6 days. This is my first grow and this is the oldest plant and the only soil plant i have. I'm just experimenting so i did a soil grow and a hydro gro all using bagseed. I see the white pistils but i think i might see some male sacks too growing on the nodes not sure but on some of these pics you can see what i'm talking about. Hope you guys can get back to me soon im just anxious to know if i did well for the first time.
they look a lot like females mate looking good as well
I was just going to say congrats on some healthey females there buddy..till I read your post again and you says its a soil experiment grow from "bagseed"
Then on closer inspection I think i see a male sac hope Im wrong tho!
Chances are your seeds have come from a plant thats hermied and chances are her traits will be showing just that on yours...hold fire tho,i might/hope im wrong,best wait for a more knowlegble sp? grower to have a look.

I see the same thing....lower right branch in the photos. Cannot tell if it is a pollen sac or just some sort of little "burr" or something. Can you get a photo of that?
Do see pistils tho so that part is good. :)
Ok here are some pics of what you guys noticed. I kinda noticed that same thing and i wasnt sure if it was a male sac or not so... If it is a hermie though is it some way that i can just pic off the male pollen sacks as they appear? Because i have an entirely different grow that has just begun flowering too in a hydro system and they havent show sex but im pretty sure they'll have the same problem as they are from the same bagseed.
from what i have been tould from a dealer/homegrower that if you do take of the bulls and do the 18/6 sical you can make them females but if they are hermie then he does not know about that cos hes nether come across any in hes bach yet.
sorry about spelling i dont like downloading addons like this spelling checker.
If you where near the end of flowering I would av said yeah nps nipping any male sacs out,since your only 6 days into flower personally id get rid of them and put it down to experience miss a couple of them sacs and well you know what will happen,and it gets everywhere In my opinion bin the bagseed and get yourself some decent prices theres so many to mention and cheap aswell your ratio will be 50/50 and take it from there..good luck buddy.

Do you think i could pull off just picking them off for a while though?
Of course you can. But you will probably end up with a bunch of seeded females that don't give you decent smoke. I'd get rid of them if you have any other plants around (ganja plants that is) that you don't want to get pollinated. Men always find away to get to that booty. ;)
Naw i dont have any others around this one. She's all by herself thats why i was willing to pick the sacs off and hope i can get them all while their small. They dont actually produce pollen until their a nice size correct? But anyway im thinking i might have the same problem with my drip system grow that is in a totally different room. I guess its time for me to order some feminized seeds. Any suggestion on whats a good strain for me to start out with? I want my drip system plants to not be so big because my others are pretty big and they have just gone into flowering.
Here's some pics of my drip system grow. I need a strain that will go good in this system. The yield is not much of a big factor for me as i am just learning and just want to get a good smoke stash. I want a good indoor/outdoor strain as well because i want to experiment with them both an see which one goes well for me.
can you can just pic off the male pollen sacks as they appear?yes you can.
I have had a few hermies befor and I would just pick off the male sacks as my plants grew and flowered.
and the buds that they grew were good enough at the end.
well good luck.
Those male pollen sacs do appear to be a pretty good size to me. There's always one that gets under the radar.....
Strains...when i choose a strain to buy I always want something with a big yield so I have not studied anything that doesn't say "huge yield" all over it. Can't help you with that one I'm afraid. Lowryder is the only one I can think of (i'm sure there's others) that stays small.....you might throw up a new thread and ask for opinions under strains and seeds ;)
weedhound their not really that big i zoomed the pics in to get a better picture of them for you. I picked one of last night and it was pretty small, the others are even smaller. I'll take some more pics of that plant that arent zoomed in on one particular thing. I'll see if you can spot them but if you say their big enough i'll go with what you say because as i said before im a big noob.
What kinds of big yield strains do you use? I wouldnt mine growing them as well it really just didnt matter to me. But i'll probably put the big yielders outside and i'll grow some in the drip system just to what works best for me with them.
Yes could be your zoom feature. Do remember this however. Male flowers usually appear BEFORE the female pistils...generally males show first.....I guess nature wants to make sure to jump right on that booty as soon as it appears and I do see pistils in your photo so it makes me wonder. I f you spray the pollen sacs gently with water it will help keep pollen from spreading....assuming there is pollen of course as sometimes they are sterile (but never when you need them to be...:( )
I thought she was a hermie at one point but those little sacs opened up and pistils came out of them. Maybe they werent sacs at all. O well just happy to report back that she's a healthy female and heres a few pics of her atm.
She's 4 weeks now, anyone have any ideas on when i should harvest her? She's a bagseed grow so i dont know what time would be a good time for her. Some of her pistils are beginning to brown as well as you may be able to see in some of the pics.
i may make this post my grow log i guess, i only have 4 weeks left i think?!
Shouldnt my plant be having some sort of smell by now? Im pretty far into flowering and i still just have a light piney type smell that i have been having since veg.
She's looking good although some of her fan leaves are beginning to yellow. Their near the bottom though so i assume this is supposed to happen because the top ones are still a nice green.
Your plants are looking really good man, a little bit longer and you will be seeing some major progress. Goodjob with the grow man and I hope your outcome is a good one.
