Is this the early signs of a male plant, or too early to say?

Hi everyone!

Grew 3 female outdoor plants last year, our first ever attempt at growing, and in the harvest, we found some seeds which we kept for this year.

Tried the water germination method, ie. toss them in a glass of water for a few days, then in damp tissues for a few more, and that went fine.

Now our babies are starting to grow. I've read diverse opinions on the internet, one of which said that seeds from a female plant will most probably be female themselves. I'd like to believe that but I'm a little bit sceptical..

So I'm keeping an eye on these to weed out any males, but I'm not really sure what a male looks like, could someone please give me an opinion from this photo? There's a little ball forming, but I'm not sure if it's definitely a male.

Thanks in advance, and I wish you all a good grow :-)

(hope you can see the image ok, if not someone please tell me how to upload...)

It's a male. You can't know for sure if the pollen came from your female plant cause they were outside. But ya it a boy congrats!

Thanks everyone. At what point does the male mature and start making trouble? It's been in the ground about 6 weeks now, from seed.

Should I yank it straight away or can I leave it a few more weeks to get a better photo and a more definitive answer?

thanks again for your answers :-)

all female plants can make seeds, regular seeds unless some sort of manipulation to feminize the seeds is done.


It looks a little early to tell sex but if I was to place a bet I would say Male

if the female plant self pollinated then the seed will most likely be a hermaphidite. it may be more female than male but thats how you got that seed in the first place. if the plant was pollinated by a male then it will be 50 50

Negative. S1's are all female with the presence of the hermi gene which may or may not lay dormant. I have S1's and all 15 seeds germed and are all beautiful females. I get 1-5 naners during flower, I remove them, then and I'm good. I have been lucky some S1's throw too many naners.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Please excuse my ignorance but what does 'in veg' mean exactly (a stage of growth I guess, but which stage, between what and what?), what are 'S1's, and what in the name of all that's holy is a naner? I'm guessing it's the male organ of a hermaphrodite plant, but please confirm, someone?

cheers :-)

veg is short for the vegetative stage...the stage where the plant goes from seedling to what ever sex it will be...as in vegetative growth.
