Nice male...going to hurt to pull.

[VincenzioVonHook]

Got one male and one female out of the Laos/BCN crosses I popped four weeks ago. Both have shown sex. The male has a really nice uniform structure, smell is nice and fruity, thick stems/branching and has nice leaves. Really spewing I don't have the space or capacity to breed here.


Flipping to flower in a few days. Hoping I can find it a home as I don't want to bin a good male lol. The female has a different structure for sure, not as uniform and smell isn't as fruity but it'll suffice.


Surprised they are doing so well. It's been 6-19c maximum lately and about 10-23c in the tent.

So you can tell sex before flipping to flower? At about what day do they start showing generally. What day # are these plants at?

The fem showed sex around day 27 and the male followed at day 31. They are at day 33 now. I was surprised to see alternating nodes and pre flowers at day 27 as well.

They didn't show sex for seven weeks indoors last time I tried (three weeks after flip) with this strain, and the plant ended up far too tall so I don't know what changed this time around.

I've had photos that show sex before flip or seasonal change, but it usually takes at least six-seven weeks of veg.

You look for those. Usually by the tenth node there will be signs.

Every waking minute of every day is chop thirty around here if you know what I mean

Yes its possible in a few scenarios. As a seed. You can sex the 'belly button' and get 90+% females makes culling easier and less soil and space wasted. At about 2 months most females even in veg will show hairs at nodes along main stem. Not all. Usually fool proof is putting them on a flower schedule or outside for 4+ days to force sexing. Don't plant if it looks like but is not 100% declared female lol! You might be yanking a huge male in August! Get a magnifying glass as there is a noticeable difference in a hair 'pistil' vs a calyx the same size that you can miss with just your eyes.

That is complete nonsense.

 

[Red Hard Head]

No its not. That's what I thought too. But ffs its damn good method. For 20 or less its a good thing to know. But for more starts than that like 500+ I dont have the patience to look at all the seeds.

Looks like choppy time

Guess wait a bit to be sure eh?

 

[PadawanWarrior]

So don't pull on it so hard.

With the title I was waiting for some flak lol. I'll ease into it real good.

Now to figure out what's taking its place. Went through the stash and narrowed it down to a gatorslade frost, CBD 1:1 lemon or a godzilla cookies. The gatorslade looks interesting. Strawberry fusion cross blackberry Kush.

Would be interesting to see how a 1:1 CBD smokes though.

The best and most accurate method is to take cuttings from the plants you want to determine the sex of. Once your plant is in the vegetative stage, take cuttings from the plant and root them in another room separate from the rest of the plants. Expose the newly rooted cuttings to 12 hours cycles of light and darkness. The new plants from cuttings should flower within several days and reveal their sex. If any of them are male, you’ll want to remove them from the grow room immediately.​ Just came across this might be helpful to all

It is 100% nonsense. Just to be sure I went through hundreds of feminized seeds I made and compared them with that silly chart floating around the internet. I had seeds that matched the examples that are claimed to be males despite these being known feminized seeds. How do you explain that?

Don't spread nonsense that may cause people to throw away perfectly good seeds. Spreading ridiculous cannabis broscience is bad enough but when you spread false information that might cost some naive individual to throw away seeds they paid for it's even worse.

This is the worthless chart I'm talking about. DO NOT GO BY THIS NONSENSE.

 

[Red Hard Head]

I saw that chart too. Did more research and theres truth to it. If you're looking to decrease planting a few males it will increase your ratio once you develop a discerning eye. I use this even on my own feminized seed. I have much less herms later in flower and much less weak ones in a seed start cohort. Its just another method in a way to judge and select seeds for sowing.

So youve never sown seeds according to this method? Only looked at morphology huh?

By the way I never told anyone to toss beans. So simmer.

I remember a time when growers bwah hah hawed microbes and bokashi and FPJs as hog wash.
