Ok... this is going to get interesting now. I got a camera... and it is clear looking at these pictures that the lens can see things that are not quite so apparent to our human eyes. The theory is that we can tell the sex already... at day 6 by looking for the red indicators on the trunk. Theory tells us that we should have 50% males and 50% females. According to what we are seeing in these pictures, this is exactly what I have here with my 4 surviving babies. These have been tagged and time will tell if we were indeed able to sex these plants at this incredibly early age. Look very closely at the trunks.

"Runt of the pack - red spots - FEMALE"

"No red spots - MALE"

"Note the Red Spots - FEMALE"

"Another MALE"
