Hi guys

I'm a newbie

got 3 plants.
went on 12/12 about 2 weeks ago.
I think I have at least 1 male (or hermaphrodite)...
can you help me verify it before I kill them ?

Yeah, thats 2 males right there.
Sorry bro, i just had to rip 1 meself. Though mine vegged considerably longer than yours, given the size of your fan leaves.

well, this makes it 2 out of 3.... :cry: (although I was sure I saw white hairs coming out of the pre-flowers in the second plant...)
Isn't it strange that the third one is showing no flowering signs after 2 weeks of 12/12 ?

I will take this opportunity to tell you that you need to go 12/12 from seed next grow. Within 24 days your plants have sexed, no waiting 2 months only to find out you have nothing but boys.......12/12 from seed my friend, just do it.

The good: 1) in my experience males usually develop and show sex faster than females. For example, I sexed 16 plants over the last week and and the biggest and first to show were 3 males. Ever since all the rest have been females, with 4 left to sex (no signs yet). 2) balls are easy to spot, hairs not so much. :-P The bad: 2 1/2 weeks of 12/12 and nothing? :-? I'd say hang in there a few more days and whip out the magnifying glass. Those hairs can be really hard to spot unaided. Good luck and the law of averages in on your side :bigjoint:

this is my first time...
I'll be a lot smarter next time (if there will be next time)
I guess I should just wait for it to show it's sex...
