balls boys hairs girls lumens watts who really knows 1000 watt lamp compared to a 400 with plant tops recieving same amount of lumens 1000 watt still produces more bud per plant

can't tell.. too far away and pictures are a little blurred when you zoom. Try to get right up on the part you believe to be a calyx/pistil and take a macro shot.

Thanks

ok ill get some more pictures and try to make it better quallity but im running a three 15w portfolio floro. that i picked up from lowes. any recommendations on what needs improvement

have you tried clicking the picture twice cause it pulls it up on a separate tab and the picture is much bigger and has better zoom

the parts that are needed to identify sex are too small the be identified in the picture, and when you zoom there is not enough clarity to determine the sex, or if it's even shown it's sex yet.

Look at plant #2. See how the leaves are no longer coming out in pairs? That is the FIRST sign of maturity. The 2 whitish hairs giving you the "High sign", or balls hanging down on stems, will follow soon. Males tend to show their sex before the females, so don't feel bad if the first one to show is a male. Males are also frequently a bit bigger, with slightly longer internodes.

Main problem here is you are being a tiny bit impatient! lol Give them a few more weeks and you'll have no problems telling who's who! Now go and look at some close-up pictures of male and female plants, so you know exactly what to look for. :thumbsup:
