male or female

Its my first time growing the neighborhood has been dry for a month now.
Driving around town with gas prices that keep climbing put a hole in my
pocket.growing seems to be a logical step but I dont know what the differnce is between male and female plants.Do males never form seeds do only sexed females form seeds.Are sexed female less potent then non-sexed or male plants please let me know.

Males are only good if you want pollinate the female to produce seeds. Not good to smoke. Most get trashed as soon as their lil nuts start showing unless your breeding.
Females are what you want, they produce BUDS
Female seeds cost alot more and might be what you want as a N00B grower. It will save you the hassle of growing a plant for 6 weeks only to find out its male.

Thanks man I have also read somthing about hermies should I just nip them in the bud.

hermies are bad. you should read up alot on here before you start growing. Make sure it's something you want to undertake.

The best way to Guarantee females is by making clones out of a female mother plant. The best way to learn to grow is to start right now with some bag seed, you'll learn alot just tryin to grow crap weed. Actually doing and reading about it at the same time is the best way to learn IMO.

hey my plant is about 2 months old and it had been on the 12/12 cycle for about a week. Between where the branches meet the stem I can barley see small green balls forming. Im guessin male but i didnt know if the pistils might come out of them instead.

balls = males

Make your first grow with bagseeds like No Drama said . I did and have learned alot. I'm on my second grow now . I have 2 very nice females growing that I just took my first clones from.( Afghani ) Just hope my clones work out .
Good luck
