Males, Females, and early recognition

[Horsemanrocks]

OM,

You sir, can jerk me around any time youâ??ve a mind toâ?¦â?¦been that way since the beginningâ?¦â?¦no reason to change that now.

Iâ??m just happy that youâ??ve recovered and are here to do exactly that.

Respect,
Sonnyboy.

Itâ??s pretty hard not to comment on the new avatar. It takes a lot of courage to post your picture hereâ?¦â?¦it sure explains why you call me Sonnyboy. But then you probably call practically everyone Sonnyboy. (excluding Tonto of course).

Strangely familiar thoughâ?¦..I think that I saw you in Vegas in the 70â??s. Maybe the Whiskey River has taken my mind.

Confused,
HMR

Aloha, Sonnyboy,

Have a care sir.

He's already done tol' ya;


"Don't touch my Willie!"

Or, anything that his Willie has outlived, Yah?
He has mastered the art of baiting you.


Dat good ol' countryzard, Weeze

Hey HMR, regardless of what you think and whatever Countryzard says, the new avatar was not meant to bait you. I've been thinking about changeing it for the last week or so. Then just the other day, a long time friend who has said I do look like Willie sent me that pic. With it was a note, "damn Mac you do look just like him...you could pass for his OLDER brother."

Intially pissed, I realized "I resemble that remark". BTW, I've had a few compliments on it already.

Good to see ya, ya ol' fart.

Equus loves it when you kid him.
Makes him feel "sonny boy" young.

Aloha,
Wee zard

Hate to go OT on such a nice thread, but...

Well the business end of this thread was pretty much taken care of in the beginning. For me, that puts enjoying the â??localsâ?� back to top priority.

As well you should have my friendâ?¦.for you are an extremely handsome man.

It does leave me confused as to who exactly I partied with in Vegasâ?¦..I suspect it was you because the guy I partied with sure could put away the weed!


I did a re-read of my initial post and Iâ??d like to rephrase something.

WARNINGâ?¦.do not expect the nub to mature here firstâ?¦.while the plant will give you the first â??nubâ?� here, look above for the first mature balls on higher or newer growth.

Let me change that to:

WARNINGâ?¦.the plant may or may not mature here firstâ?¦.at times the plant will give you the first â??nubâ?� here, but mature balls on higher or newer growth.

You make me feel so youngâ?¦..you make me feel thereâ??s songs to be sungâ?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦â ?¦..

Hasta el proximo vez,
HMR

Hey Weezard,

I think it is time I added my posting about early recognition as some folks are starting to experiment. Though it is here: http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-...ml#post2068667 I will just quote the text here to keep folks in this thread.

I will also add before I do this, that I now am starting to look at the seed itself before planting. I look for a perfect circle at the end that was at the stalk. So far, every perfect circle seed I have planted in the last year has been a female.

That being said:

I am sure I will hear about this. I have do documentation to prove this other than my observances over the last 1.5 decades.

I believe in it enough I took a plant that had not shown and put it in the flower room. Did that exactly 7 days ago. Today it showed.

I have a theory. I did identify this as a female on day one of germination. My only proof is a friend, and my word. You don't wanna believe, then so be it, don't be nasty. I am posting in advanced so I don't mess with newbies heads. Chripes they worry too much for this old fart.

So, my theory is:

If a seedling comes out of the soil and there is dark red streaking or dark red stem watch this closely for signs of being a female.

Additional signs are red streaks in the main stem. Red 'dots' on the petioles. NO red in the leave veins (which is a deficiency). The petioles may even have red streaking.

I germinated 3 of the same species, one showed today, another I killed today because of poor phenotropism, and the last one is still in veg and not showing. I believe that one is a female too, but it is growing quite differently from it's sibling.

Conversely, Male seedlings are green stalk. No red in the petioles, they also are green. They grow faster, taller, leaner and using those criteria, I have not been wrong yet.

Maybe this is just a fluke. But someone or something I read somewhere a long time ago in a land far, far away....(back to life now) I heard this. I did not believe it. I think I do now.

There are additional little indicators, like the parts I call the spurs. They seem to look more like crossed swords early in life whereas in males they just look like pointy things sticking up.

I know I came outta no where. I do try hard to document and have references for what I state. This time it is just experience.

Are there people that agree with me? I am sure we have dissidents. Like I say I cannot prove this, but golly gee, if I am risking $300 seeds and just throwing them in a flower room, I sorta believe in what I am doing, I am not a risk taker.

Now I have had one instance of the red not showing. It was recent. I picked a 'female' seed by the criteria stated, and it is almost done flowering at this writing. So, it seems the butt end of the seed may be even more accurate. This plant has never shown any of the red at all throughout it's life.
