I thought female always showed pistils even early on.
But that's why I run feminized.

Dr d, or should I say Debbie downer lol just kidding, I'll have to look again, I have a 60x loop somewhere maybe i should get that out. I've never been good at determining early, I've always had to flip a clone and find out that way, I'm hoping for at least one female of each though!

 

[AlphaPhase]

Me too Oldman, I've always run clones or fems, this is first batch of regulars iI've had in like 10 years I'd say, it's tough sexing them! I have a buddy that can tell 100% in like a second but he lives a little ways away, of I could get him over here I'd know in a heartbeat, but as for me, iI'm very bad at these things lol

Early the male is more ball like and the fem is thin from the profile. You will be the best judge as you can look from different angles.

So I got the loop out, 1/3 spxb are clear female, it has a spade attached to the stalk with no stem, and a hair coming out. 1/2 24k also have the same thing but no hair, it's a lot smaller then the other female but same shape, just hasn't popped a hair yet I think? The others are clear male, the flower looks nothing like the others, grape like flower cluster things, kinda looks like a cluster of broccoli

 

[DCobeen]

it looks like it could be a male on the second one also. 80% sure. give it a few more days to get more distinctive.

 

[DCobeen]

when in doubt wait a few more days. if you dont see the thin long hairs wait till you see them or a roundish ball. there is no hurry takes time. the good news is they are almost mature and you can start the flower cycle soon.

 

[giggles26]

I disagree i think it is male. It has a big male preflower right next to where you circled on alpha's plant.

First plant is a male, second is female.

Guess we will see who is right in a few days

Thanks guys I just took the best shots I could with my phone and tried to zoom in

From the pics, here's what I think, but I'm a noob at this
Pic 1- female but not 100% sure
Pic 2 - definitely female (I think lol)
Pic 3-5 - males

Can't wait to see the results though, let's make a poll

I'm hopinggggg for one female for each strain

I would let there rest go till they develop

 

[AlphaPhase]

That's what I was afraid of I was hoping pic one could be fem, but if not I only have 1 sour power biker and 0 24k boo, I wasreally hhoping for a female 24k *sigh*

 

[giggles26]

Another good rule of thumb is males tend to show first. Females usually take a lil longer.

 

[Dr.D81]

#1 is possibly female let it go. 3 on look male but they will trow some funky shit sometimes

 

[AlphaPhase]

Cool guys, I'll give em some more time to ripen up, pic 1 is a 24k so if that turns out to be female I'll be good to go I was planning on taking a clone of each and putting it on 12/12 before it roots, but if I can tell before doing that I can save time and space and wasted clones

Momma always said "wish in one hand and you know the rest"
good luck Alpha I'll keep my fingers crossed.

 

[oldman60]

OK you great corruptors now I'm thinking about dwc, how hard is it to control
the solution my water is rocks in liquid form ph 7.5 in summer once the winter
freeze in in it goes to 7.8 or so. I don't want to RO it cost to damn much.

 

[AlphaPhase]

Thanks Oldman! Dwc is awesome, you don't HAVE to use ro, but depending on your tap water it might be better. The pH of your tap isn't a big deal, it's the other elements that could be too high or too low of a concentration (like Cal and mag, plus the metals like iron ect) but if your plants are fine in soil using it you'll be OK. You'll need a pH pen, ppm or ec meter, pH down, an air stone and a air pump and that's about it. Just keep the water below 70 and you can grow monster plants in a blink of an eye. Dwc and ebb n flow systems are my favorite.

OK dwc is out my room gets too warm for that unless I get a little
dorm fridg and run a feed coil in and out of it to cool the solution.
Thanks.

I just pop a frozen bottle of water in the bucket, keeps temps perfect and it's free
