Is my girl a GIRL?

[Mike42Zero]

I have 5 plants at just past 3 weeks into veg. They are all the same strain and are all teh same age but i think one is showing lady hairs. Im not to sure as this is my first grow and i dont have must first hand exp in just going by what i have read.

The first few pics are of the plant we think is a lady, the others are the same plant from top view.

All are in Pro Mix BX under 400w HPS and have had Pure blend pro grow and liquid karma.

If this is infact a female should i be expecting the others to start showing nowish also?

thanks for any help.

i think its still too early to tell but if u see white hairs den yea like these

Yeah too early, but they will show soon. Look between the 6-7 node and you will see the pre sex.

Damn, when i look at it i can clearly see some hairs, maybe my pics suck im not sure if i got the right angle on it. When they wake up at 3am i will snap more.

 

[GoldenGanja13]

what about where those hairs are coming out at? can you get some shots at them. Because I saw the hair but I did not see a sex?

I agree with you but Like you said "don't want to be wrong" would suck to get a guys hope up then balls pop out.

Too early bro. Usually the males show first but make sure of what you have before killing them. You have more time than you think.

You said they were 3 weeks into veg, but you're looking to sex them?


Is that a typo, or am I just really high? You learn the sex after going into flower.

You on a 12/12 light schedule?

Thats teh thing, they are almost a month into veg and i was looking at them and saw the hairs, the other 4 have no hairs just this one, just wanted to know if it was girlie hairs or if im just getting a early boner at teh thought of having a 100% girlie.

Haha exactly!

Mike they very well could be showing early sexing, just keep an eye on it and tell us if those are hairs, if so i'm more than happy for ya, if not you still get some butter out of it ha

Im gonna keep a close eye on that one and update with some newer pics when lights are on.

Hope she keeps those nuts hidden

 

[GoldenGanja13]

Keep an eye out and you will see a tiny stem with top or a upside down spade like, look around the 6 or 7th node, there tiny but thats pre sexing in veg. Good Luck

I could not tell, with my limited experience.... Good luck and keep us posted!! We'll keep our fingers crossed for ya!

First Early Sexing Method
If you've been growing the same strain and all the seeds were started at the same time, then you may notice that some plants are taller than others: the smaller plants tend to be female and the taller ones tend to be male. You can separate these plants into two sections in order to see how good your guesswork was when you do definitively identify sex. The other thing to note is that male plants generally start to pre-flower before females. If you have taller plants that are producing new growths before the smaller ones then the taller plants are probably male.
Second Early Sexing Method
A good way to identify plant sex at an early date is to examine the calyx* with the aid of a very fine magnifying glass. If the calyx is raised on a small, short stem then it's probably a male. If the calyx isn't raised on a small short stem then it's probably a female.
Third Early Sexing Method
'Force-flowering' is probably the best early-sexing method. To force-flower a cannabis plant, simply take a cutting and place it in a cup of water or a cloning medium, such as rockwool. Expose the cutting to 12 hours of light followed by 12 hours of total darkness. The cutting should flower and display its sex — however the plant must be mature enough to present its sex. An immature plant will not show sex because initial calyx development is not photoperiod-related. Plants normally mature around the forth week of vegetative growth because sex is not genetically determined until the third week of growth.This also applies to 'feminized seeds,' which can, and often do, turn out to be male.** If your plants are exhibiting calyx development, then this is a suitable method of determining the plant's sex.
These methods are NOT 100 percent accurate. Later in this Chapter we will explain how to definitively identify the sex of your marijuana plant.
