Female or Male? I Fear the Very Worst but I am Not Experienced So Please Help!

[superskunkd]

a friend of mine claims they got this from a dispensary as a clone, however i was not there so i am unsure. he had it outside in a pump house for the first few weeks but recently asked me to take it. i however am doing a first grow of my own from some reg seeds to get a feel for the process before i jump into the good stuff. so i guess the big question is female or male??? a female is supposed to have two pistils but this has one on each side?/ it is in a room by itself til i can determine its sex...please help

to hard to tell from you pics...you need to be zoomed in more...and it may be to soon in flowering to tell as well

I am NOT experienced sexing pot plants....but I'm trying to learn.
Hardto tell in those pics, but I don't see any balls. Hopefully that's a good sign for you.

My guess is female.

female..............

Is it in flowering? do you have the lights on 12/12?

 

[tip top toker]

Those are not pistils. It is not showing sex.

To early to tell imo

 

[dannyboy602]

tiptop is right...too early to determine sex. anything else is a guess.

In the center of the picture, the node on the right, there looks to be a small female preflower sprouting at the base of the stipule(the pointy thing). it's hard to say with 100% certainty, but I'm pretty sure you got a gal there.

You have 4,573 post at the time of this post. You have also been here since 2007. I find it amazing how you can give such inaccurate advice on such a basic question.

@superskunkd

Your seedling is not showing sex. If you wish to sex your plant, put it on a 12/12 lighting schedule.

Your seedling is also very stretched. I suggest you get your lights closer and/or add the right spectrum of light.

 

[superskunkd]

it is only about 4 wks old to my knowledge... and it was on an outdoors lighting schedule. i want to put it in my grow room but i have three plants that are beautiful so far and i dont want to pollenate them if this is a male. like i said i have no grow experience and want to be cautious..what is your advice????
is it too late to put it on a veg.lighting schedule????

 

[superskunkd]

getting more pics now...

 

[jawbrodt]

Ooops, I thought I read that it was a clone? Ahh well, I spose I can make a mistake, from time to time.

 

[KuLong]

No.

If you want my advice, since you have other plants growing and this one is causing you so much stress so early, ditch it.

It is a clone. What's your point?

(Not picking on you, seriously asking what your point is.)

 

[gobskiii]

ya i am almost sure its a female as well...but i guess the number of posts dictates your experience right...kulong

Okay, I'm back, and just took another look, AND......I'm right, just like I said. My point, was that if it was a seedling, that you COULD have been right, and I may have been mistaken, because it clearly wouldn't be sexually mature yet, and showing no preflowers. Being that it IS a clone, it's old enough, and what I thought was a preflower, is indeed a preflower, and a female one, at that. If the pics were more close-up, there wouldn't have been any doubt, in the first place.

Post has nothing to do with experience.

Experience has everything do to with experience.

Care to share links to your grow, guides or any photographs or documentation of your experience?

 

[superskunkd]

ok so i put it in the grow room and seperated from the others with cardboard. hopefully no damage done...also have them a couple inches from my lights hopfully they will be ok going back to a vegitative 20 on 4 off?????i want it to get healthy and big cause it is supposedly medical clone??? i wasnt there so i dont know? it also hasnt grown like my other three plants looks different but those were germinated from bag seed...dont wanna ditch it cause its the best quality weed i would say.. but my other three are just three weeks old so i really dont know if its safe to have them in the same room... if it turns male will i have time to remove it before it gets to the other three????i for some reason cant get real good pics close up sorry i know it doesnt help but im trying to get some better ones right now.

If it is a male, you will see the balls well before they release pollen. If you get little balls or pods with no hair sticking out of them, then you know it's a male and you can do what you wish with it. I am personally hoping for at least 1 male in my group, that way I can get more seeds of a good strain for free.
