So i am 2 months into my first grow ever. I only have one plant growing. Its about a week into 12/12 because i dont want it to get too big its about 1.5ft tall and a foot wide. Well today I noticed single balls starting to appear on my plant and I was just wondering if that means its male or if thats just where the pistils sprout from. IDK much but what I do know is any help is appreciated


-Thank you!

Compare some Male VS Female pics on Google, but it sounds like you got yourself a male.

 

[LD399]

Im working on pics but my camera phones broken so i gotta use my webcam lol

 

[LD399]

does it mean anything that it has a pretty strong smell to it?

 

[RollUpMikey]

Even males can produce resin and THC, but nowhere near the amount of a female.

It sounds like a male to me but post pics just to be 100% sure mate.

Alright well you cant really tell anything from the pics so im about to hit up google lol. Thank you so much for the info tho! Even if its a male its totally cool with me just because I had a ton of fun growing it and doing the research, but it would be nice to have something to smoke lol

 

[Downey]

Haha that's an awesome frame of mind right there.
I wish you could have some smoke for your sake on all that time/effort put in!

Thanks man! I really appreciate the knowledge! Now at least I know its a good idea to plant more than one seed at a time. I feel growing a male is like getting into a car accident you never think its gunna happen to you but when it happens it sucks and this time i'll know to have the insurance of a few other plants so I dont waste a lot of time lol

 

[RollUpMikey]

No doubt man!
Assurance in having insurance will always keep the smiles up:]
My first grow ended up exactly like your case a few years ago, had 1 and whaddu know....MALE-FAIL.
Jorge Cervantes said on his DVD that seed ratio is usually about a 50/50 probability, so keep that in mind on your next round. Now dust yourself off and have your ladies "throw you some nice buds" next time :]

 

[LD399]

Totally im way excited for my next grow 8D

 

[LD399]

this time im gunna start a journal too lol

 

[RollUpMikey]

There ya go. That's the RIU spirit.

<SNIP>I only have one plant growing. <SNIP>

-Thank you!

Since you only have 1 plant going, give it a little more time (few days), then you will know for sure and you'll know for next time, what males look like.

Good Luck

-Thanks everybody
