I need some expert eyes here. Pic #1 i'm assuming is a female because of the white hair coming from the pistils right?
Pics #2 3 4 are I'm hoping femails too, but i just can't tell. They both started flowering at the same time and are a week into flowering today. What do you guys think? Male or female? i just dont want it to screw up my confirmed female.
if im not mistaken this looks like a male sorry dude
cheers all :)
ive blown part of the 4th picture
thats what i was afraid of.....should i wait one more week since its only 1 week into flowering? And as for pic one, would you say it was a female?
When will the male start to pollinate....(i dont want to screw this one up)...its my first grow....obviously.
can you get another pic of the first plant?
Doesnt the first pic sorta look like female parts?
I can take one first thing tomorrow morning. They're in the dark period right now, and i dont want to shock them with the flash. But it looks to be female...it has the white single hair coming out of the sack...(dont know the scientific name for it)
These were feminized seeds too, thats what has me stumped. But i guess you can't predict nature all the time.
Orangeman...i hear a lot of people refer to it as female parts, but i must be blind cuz i dont see the resemblance.
Well if it has that then it must be a female. The hair is correctly called a pistil..used for catching pollen. And the sack is correctly called a calyx.Quote:

Apart from the one buster indicated the rest look to be a female. It will become more obvious in a week or two.
Let me clarify....Pic #1 is 1 plant that i'm certain is female. Pic #2, 3, 4 are of the same plant. I was trying to give you guys more angles....Woke up this morning and still no white hairs on my second plant that i suspect to be male. I'll wait till next tuesday...that will be 2 weeks of flowering and i should know by then.
How do you know if your plant is a hermie this early in its life????
That one pic that was blown up looks like a male to me...i see balls...
first pic appears to be female unless other dis-similar portrusions appear, it will be then a herms. At this point, if there is no other male-looking plant matter, just take good care of it. The other one is a male. I didnt see any female gender indicators, though some of the pics were real blurry. Males usually indicate first. Try to make hash oil out of the male or cut it up into pieces and trash it. Do that ASAP so that it does not pollinate your female. They can even be pollinated by a male plant in the next room.
First one is female. The other three are male
Well it seems my second plant that we all thought was a male, is actually a hermie.....i picked off all the balls. Now the 2 plants look identical. They both have white hairs forming at the budsites....its beautiful. I'm 2 weeks into flowering...the suspense is killing me.
just keep picking off the ball sacks throughout harvest and you should be fine, still smokeable.....good luck
This picking the balls off the plant is a bitch.....but there are WAAAAAAAAAAYYYY too many bud sites to throw this one out...im going to have to ride this one out like a soldier.
Quick question to anyone who's dealt w/ a hermie....do the balls still contain pollen in it, or is it just shooting blanks? When i'm picking them off and i squeeze them, goooey slime comes out....(pretty nasty stuff)....And what will happen to the budsights? will they just stop growing? or wither away?
your picking them off at the right time then if they are gooey
the reason they are gooey is because its not ready to break open and spread
the gooey stuff is the pollen in its early stage befour its turns into a powder
if you can get them ballsacks off when they are like this you wont have to worry about splitting one and releasing the pollen
cheers all :)
it is a bitch to pick off all the little sacks, i just finished up doing that but i think i was too late, when i pinched one a bunch of pollen fell to the ground.. :( , oh well..i will still enjoy it, good luck
but will it screw up everything if just one of those balls break? or will i just get some seeds inside the bud?
if it came into contack with a bud it will produce seed
then again if it was just one sack you sould be ok just let it be
and keep picking them lil shits off
cheers all :)
Roger that....but those bastards are hiding now...hahaha.
