Too early to sex?

[Raelum]

Well, I have two plants and I think they are beginning to show signs of their sex. It might be a bit to early to tell for sure but wanted to upload a photo and get a second opinion.

So what do you think? Based on the long stocks with the balls on top, it appears to be male. Which sucks.

how old are your plants? it looks like its new branches growing from the nodes to me so i dont think you have to worry yet but I'm not exactly a expert though?

They are at 19 days today. I just put them under the 400 watt light, probably could have done it earlier but I'm lazy.

i think i'm just a little further ahead of you in my grow. give it a few days and these (first pic) should turn into these (second,third pic) it will be obvious wether their new leaves or balls. i'm not sure how early you can sex your plants, the only way i know for sure is when you try budding them. good luck to you and your girls.......... hopefully.

At this point and time you are not going to be able to tell (probably). From seed, depending upon strain (and thus genetics,) it can take anywhere from two weeks to two months before a seedling will be mature enough to start pre-flowering or auto-flowering.

It's easier to tell from clones, as most clones you get will be female (unless you specify a male clone for breeding purposes, which very few places will ever have,) and they will already be mature enough from the mother plant to be expressing their gender, partially caused by the stress of cutting and rooting mature stock forcing it to start the flowering process regardless of light cycle.

you'll know sex by the time they mature. When the nodes start alternating they are mature! once they mature you can tell sex and then begin to flower!

Good Luck:thumbsup:
