if your growing in a room and want to sex them turn your light to 24hrs for about a week. them put them outside for a couple days or in the dark for a few 12hr incremants. this will cause them to flower immediatley showing sex. then just put them back under the light
or take some clones from each plant wait a week+ for them to root and throw them into 12/12 and there you go:mrgreen:

They are right hold off until you know for sure. If by chance you get a couple of males grow them out collect their pollen and have some fun making a couple of crosses.

It could just be more leaves. There are branched that seem to grow from everywhere. The waiting sucks, i can't do it but thats what it takes. Maybe thats whay pot distorts time, so it seems to bud faster.

i have a dumb question, can bugs get into the holes caused by topping pruning....saw a pic and look like there are big holes wherever its pruned. I have seen peeps use a black sapp when they prune nice trees. Could this be useful to protect against bugs?

First off, anyone who claims to beable to tell 100% that you have a male is 100% F.O.S in my experience, and more importantly in the experience of people who write books on this shit, there are a couple ways to early sex a plant. none of them involve even the highest resolution of internet pics. great pics by the way lol.

you have received some good info and some very bad info. good info=sex one branch, sex a clone. bad info= kill it, flip flop the light until the poor plant has no idea which way is up. changing light cycles like that is a good way to end up with hermies. killing it this early would just be dumb.

examine those calyx with a magnifying glass. according to the grow bible by greg green if they are raised on a stem, it is a male, if not, its a female. i havent had any success with this metod yet, but it is what it is.

or you can cut a clone and pitch it into a cup of water under 12/12 and it should show sex as well. good luck; happy growing!

unreal!

just veg a big plant, and somewhere along the way take off 1 branch and chuck it in the flowering room, and your sure to know which way it goes.

i love it.

hey, it may seem ridiculous to even say, but look a some of the previous advice that was given... "switch the cycle to 12/12 then when it shows its sex, put it back to veg" ????????

to me, that is whats unreal.

Hey wolfman, dude.

Dont mean to sound funny or anything but how the hell do you get pics that come out that good!

Everytime i try to get a close pic like that i get a shitty ass blurry pic every time, even with great cameras i borrow from friends.

I guess i just haven't got that paperazzi gene :( coz i want to post some pics.

its called a macro shot.
the trick with it is to use a tripod! and if your using a digital camera make sure you put it on the macro mode. its the flower symbol
also diffrent cameras focous at diffrent distances.
some digis will focous from 12" to infinity some from 1" to infinity
most of the cheaper digitals have shitty focous ranges.
