I got the update on the whole preflower business and its all baffling to me got som more pics for you peeps to have a peek at..bearing in mind these pics are taken from the SAME plant..Ding the ak-48...have a look and tell me what you think!

[BobBong]

uhhh... hmmm that's lookin like a ball on a stick to me, inwhich case...that'd make it male?

[Ze w33d Farm3r]

man that sounds like a major bummer if it is a male! anywho since u want to see the growing top...then growing top you shall get! anymore suggestion on the sex of Ding?

[HARDDON]

Ze w33d,

There is still nothing but speculative growth.

One day it looks male, next day female...

ON and on.

When its time to know then you shall know.

It does appear as though sometghing is growing and it does indeed look male....BUT....this is still inconclusive.

Just keep posting updates and when something shows definitive, you'll know. Until then keep your fingers crossed becasue there is nothing for sure yet.

Good luck.

Looks like a male to me. I just had one go that way and it's exactly how it looked before it really showed it's true colors. Lots of balls. Also looks like you've got a little magnesium deficiency.

hmmm not really what i had in mind i guess...males will grow balls in clusters.. especially in the growing top... it's possible it's still to early... when you're looking this early it's very hard to tell..

the below is a pic of an early male in preflower. although it's blurry (sorry,shitty camera) you can see near the growing top the small cluster... usually it will start with one preflower.. this is where the confusion of male or female often comes in.. with females.. the single pods will form on different nodes..and on the secondary growth. whereas with a male.. there are usually clusters of balls visible well before the major secondary growth, as males.. flower usually 2-3 week prior to females.

hope this helps. cheers.

Try giving us a side view of the growing top?

"flower usually 2-3 week prior to females"

I know this is maybe on average, but on two of my plants the female came out the same time as the male. Maybe because of different strains?
