Nice try with the experiment. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. :thumbsup:

Could be that those with the bulge were closer to the fans, requiring stronger joint-strength at the nodes. Or it could be genetics. Or maybe those with the spare tire are just fat?..<kidding>

I'm willing to bet the 'short and bushy' males versus 'tall and skinny' females is genetically programmed, too. Seeing more and more of this lately. I wonder if some of the breeders have stopped back-crossing their strains to stabilize the traits?
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Experiment on different method of sexing cannabis I'm going to do an experiment on a different way to determine sex of plants. I heard this somewhere long ago, and I can't find where it was originally posted, but what it said was that plants which have swellings around their nodes are almost always female. I have eight plants growing, and as soon as I can sex them using the flowers I will take a close-up pic of the nodes and post them here so we can all find out if this is true or not. If it works it may be a good way for everyone who has Rating: 5
