Males, Females, and early recognition
while i laid in hospital this thread went from pics of nice normal pre-flowers to red streaks on seedlings and prefect circles on seeds :wtf: i'm finding it impossible to resist the urge to sprout a few dozen seeds to test these theories ....da*n internet...,must look at every seed with mag glass , record round or not , label seed ,look at each sprout ,record red streak or not.....THANKS....THANKS ALOT......so much paper work ahead
.....or maybe hobble on back to bed and let the young folks take care of it ......damn pharms are kicking in...fuck it...call me later baby.

Males, Females, and early recognition
For what it's worth, I noted the shape of the seed's li'l 'ole when planting 2 horseflowers.
One was quite round, one was oval.
The oval became a male with a touch of purple on a few fanleaf stems, but none on the main stalk.
And the round 'ole seed jus' popped pistils but has the exact same coloration, or lack of same.
Looks like dis;
First, da kane. (male)

Den, da Wahine
Shorter, fatter, but same coloration, yah?;
[attachment=o261901]
"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'm thinking that the "crossed swords" thingie is more dependent on the diameter of the stem, which is in turn, affected by the speed of growth.
Males generally grow a li'l faster.
Faster growth will "skinny up" the stalk and cause the spurs to cross.
So, in a way, it is an indicator.
Aloha,
Weeze

Since this thread was to get the newer members a place to start?..I??d love to continue on with earlier and earlier methods.
For the newer viewers that don??t know what Washougal and the WeeZard were referring to about identification from viewing the seed?.here??s a link with pictures to bring you up to speed.
http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-...-sex-seed.html
That??s certainly better than my awkward attempt to describe it.
I only have a magnifier?.but I don??t have a camera to share that kind of magnification, so if any EyeClops users have the interest to post a picture or two?..I??m not willing to spring the $100+ for the BioniCam just now. I might have to wait until I pull another?..I mean have another job!
Weeze, I??ll go back and look again?.but from memory the 27 yr old ??horseflowers? seed almost never seemed to have a round pocket at the butt, while the 2010 horseflowers seed appeared across the board much more symmetrically round.
The last few seed that I popped were supposed to be femmed?..one turned out male. I really should have looked?.oh well, I will next time.
Washougal??backtrack back up to my second post and then down to the third picture. That bad boy has some very red petioles?..while the girls(pics 4 and 5) in the first post aren??t nearly as red?..tell me what you think (they are the same genotype). I??m not totally sure that I get it.
You know?.we could post a few seed butt pictures?.take bets on M or F. Who knows?this could turn out to be a good little money maker.
Still plenty to learn,
HMR

Horse, WW had referred to his early sexing of seeds in post #20 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."
So far his early sexing id of early growth plants has been right on the money. There are still a few weeks left in my experiment to be sure his techinique is on the money with my gals although, from my personal experience, I am predicting that WW is on the right path to early id'ing of plants. If this if proven to be fact I will have a lot less termoil waiting to see if my plants are going to yield me something special or going to be a genetic experiment for a later date.
Needless to say, I am hoping that this "new" techinque is something we can all call upon in the future ... is anybody as excited as I am or am I just freaking :stoned: out of my mind?!?

Just so I didn't step on your toes Horseman. :thumbsup:
I am thinking I want some pollen and growing out a male might just be a good way to test the theory - the other way. Need to look thru seeds now and find oval irregular flatter seeds.

Hey Ya'll,
I find the seed shape indicator and stem color indicator, for sex ID to be very fasinating. But it is important to be able to sex the plant the "old fashioned" way, just like Horsemanrocks' pictures at the beginning of this thread shows.
You are going to see a bunch of newbies in the comming months with questions like....."I know it's a female plant 'cause I used a round bottom seed but the plant won't make flowers..." you all know what I mean.
The old fashioned way has not failed me, and when I want a surefire method of having female seeds....I make them.
