Generic "Male, Female or too early?" thread.

Hey folks,

These pictures are all from the same plant. What do you think?

Thanks.

looks like a pod that may get 2 hairs from it, if it does then is a female.

Also forgot to add that those pictures are the same plant, but different parts of the plant. They aren't all the same location.

im not seeing anything to make me want to kill it.what is the difference between pics, can you see 1?

 

[Howards Alias]

Yeah very slightly, the first one looks less like a pod compared to the last one. I think that is the picture that got me a bit worried. Do females still grow pods?

Thanks for the help!

 

[del66666]

its a pod like a seed pod ,tapers at end with 2 very fine hairs from it. a male is more pod shaped,no hairs,has stalks . the pods multiply then burst open and release pollen.

 

[del66666]

i should add female has lots of white hairs when in proper flower.

That's a big help, thank you! Do the hairs start off very slightly green or are they white from the word go?

Also, is there anything you can do with a male plant? I don't have anything else growing, and I'd hate to see all my hard work go to waste!

Sorry for all the questions!

you could let him flower and save the pollen, then when you have a nice female you could pollinate a few lower buds and get some seeds. yeah slightly green is ok then getting whiter later and longer, you wont be confused for long. check out my envirolite 12-12 from seed journal if you get time. anything else you need just ask.

White right from the start. I'm going to say its a she..

You've big a big help, thanks again!

Another question, although unrelated to the rest. Most of my leaves have tips that curl downwards and some curl down at the edges slightly...any idea what might cause this?

 

[del66666]

i dont want to tell you wrong so i had a look around and came to the conclusion either nothing is wrong with your plant or maybe in pot a little small for it, i have a plant that has curl but is not unhealthy

 

[Howards Alias]

Ah that's a relief. I recently moved it into a bigger pot, so hopefully it sorts itself out!

 

[Howards Alias]

Are these pistils forming right under where it was topped, next to the newly growing leaves?

Also, does the topped stem look healthy to you guys?

 

[del66666]

it loks like 2 pistils in centre of pic, if you google weeds that please and go to flowering there is a clear good pic of female pistils pre flower.
