I've seen early sex signs before but never as early as this seedling. :jawdropper:
The camera available to me does not allow me to focus in closeups. But, I think you'll still be able to see the sacks in the middle.

What kind of light are you using, and how many hours do you have it on in 24 hrs?

Except for four days, it has been under fluoro's. I put them under the HPS prematurely for about 4 days, but put them back under the fluoro's about a week ago. The schedule is 24/0. This is a 60 day auto... Flash Cobra.
60 day auto? Some male plants will flower without any change in light cycle. Two weeks though? Were they shaded? Flowering is local, you can shade one branch and it will show flowers on that branch only.
It's indoor... no possibility of it being under shade.
They're still in the seed trays. I'm going to transplant tonight and they'll have access to nutes for the first time. I'm going to be segregating this one and I'll be culling the rest as they show.
Sounds like you have a premature ejaculator! LOL
Now, that's funny right there... :lol5:
Well, the magic word you said is "auto". I have no experience with them, however I understand those kind of plants just go into flowering without needing the 12/12 light. So, if I'm correct, what's happening to yours is normal.Quote:

+1 It's an auto, I'd say it's normal,... Cull it or separate it and one of the girls so they can have funky plant sex and you can have another generation of seeds! :DQuote:

But, it appears those are the only two males I'm going to get. Out of 14 plants... 2 males and 12 females. :thumbsup: Even my little mutant looks like a she. I have identified 9 females for sure and the others, I'm 85% sure.
Fortunately, the male I have is a Cobra which, at this point, is my preference of the two strains in my grow. But, I had hoped to develop the strains separately for starters. So, I think I'm going to have to pollinate both strains with the one male. I'll remove it today and segregate it until the early pistols are sufficiently developed to pollinate. I'll categorize the seeds based on the female pheno combined with the potency of the finished, cured product.
