Want a second opinion on sex before I toss.

Are these male? And can I transplant in first week of flower? I have confidence I can without shock if that matters.

Looking male to me, transplant in flower not advised really as the stress at that stage can most definitely cause hermie and host of issues! Don’t get me wrong it can be done but the environment and the transplant has to be done with as much care as possible most people would repot before flower avoiding this risk!

Yea I think I’ll just leave it then. Don’t want to risk it. The reason I didn’t is cause I have 11 in a 4x4 but it looks like I’m going to have a lot of extra space now lol.

It your not using CO2 or monitoring the co2 in your space you can find less is more, so don’t worry about that, use the space to make the most of light penetration and the extra Co2 for the buds to stack on weight! It’s more hassle then it’s worth trust me man! Don’t fix won’t ain’t broke my brother.. happy growing

Yea I’m never growing reg seeds again. The article I read about fem. seeds was old on the old way they used to make them. Come to find out there is a way better method of making them now with silver spray. I will only use reg seeds if I breed in the future. Next grow I’m doing 4 fem seeds in a scrog.and when I took these other ones out I realized how much easier it is to control R.H now

I started with using fem seeds because of the space/time constraints I faced.
Investing the time and expense as well as the lost yield from tossing males is no bueno.
I now have enough space and resources to run pheno hunts using reg seeds.
I'm not sure if there are any appreciable pheno differences on reg seeds vs. fems, but I like to let nature decide.
Again, I only do this because I have the space and resources to devote to searching, if I only wanted to produce flower then fems make more sense to me.

Agreed when I get in my new apartment and get a decent stash of medicine, I think then I would love to learn to breed and clone etc. eventually I will!

If you're only looking for a mother to run clones then fem seeds are fine. A lot of strains only only available as regular seed though.

One thing I learned is you can sex the plants early enough to where the surviving female plants will usually be able to fill in the missing canopy space by the end of their stretch. That doesn't always work out because sometimes you just get a lot of males. But I think it's worth if for the sake of pheno hunting. People who always run regular seeds are weirdos.

Ya second pic is def a male, first one looks like a pollen sack on top right node but it has no separating stem. So I cant.be 100 on it. Last pic is def female. You seem to have it down, don't second guess yourself. :)

Just FYI also you can make some colloidal silver and make your own fem seeds. Colloidal silver is pretty easy to make.

I wouldn't transplant if they are starting to flower. You will most likely shock the plant into just sitting dormant for a while. Least that's my opinion.

Bro regs are easy to deal with you know… start them let them Veg, a month take clones, put the clones into 12/12 then you know you for certain what’s fem and what’s male… if your just using one space then yeah regs become hard work but if you got room for a small little box tent you can sex your plants to that, some strains sexual traits show and some don’t so it takes a lil more dedication Mother Nature but fems can be just as problematic! Stick with tried breeders and strains to get going then gradually move up the ladder beans are expensive and time irreversible and your always learning in this game

Yea I’m going to leave it. This is why there only in 3 gallons. Here is the before and after lmao. And I’m only 100% the front one is female. The small ones I threw in there cuz I thought I killed the bigger ones at one point.7B663BA9-1468-4844-9986-A046CA7CBB65.jpeg994F908E-BAD0-4DDF-9F5E-9E35F3D9300A.jpeg
