Could be an opportunity to create an interesting cross? I grew a male for 2 months outside and the balls never opened. Of course i moved it once i knew it was male. I did get two seeds out of the plant that was close to it, but it was a good size plant, so no big deal. I think you would catch them before any pollen would get out of the balls. I have a couple pics il post that has helped people when asking about sexing, i think might help to see the sex up close and personal. The pro's will be chimming in soon too.


If you right click and open link in the first pic i marked sex with paint program which can be seen earlier with a 30x microscope, or jewelers loop. Second pic you can see the balls that are not open. It was about two months old.

Headshake gave me this link for the perfect tool to identify male/female, he said it was about 13 bucks, so not to much to spend.

Hope this helps my friend:rasta:
I actually have that exact microscope in a 60x-110x. I use it to watch spider mites suffer and die after they are sprayed. I hate those little fuckers. I also have a 30x jewelers loupe that I've been using to look out for balls. It's a little more convenient to use. I think I know what to look for, I'm just worried that I will miss one for long enough to allow some pollen out, but it sounds as if I'm just being paranoid. The problem is that no pistils have appeared on any of them, but they also aren't obviously male. Guess I'll just keep checking. Thanx man.

I've got some indica plants (4) grown from seed that I put into flower 5 days ago, and had some questions about determining sex. I don't know what strain they are, or even if they are all the same strain. The seeds were unidentified freebies I got with an order. I can tell they are indica or indica-dom by the leaves, but not much else. Two of them grew abt twice as tall as the other 2, but I don't know if they are a different strain, or if they are taller because they are male. The leaves are Rating: 5
