I guess I’m still missing something with sexing regular seeds, and evidently that “something” is patience. I know I’ve gone on and on about that one tomahawk, that I thought was female, then almost threw because I thought was actually male. Today I look at her to see fully developed preflowers with pistils sticking out. I’ve always been under the impression that males show first, and the preflowers look like little artichokes or Brussels sprouts, and that you can identify females early because they don’t show as soon, and the preflowers look more like little leaves. I hope I haven’t thrown out too many females. Glad I didn’t throw this one. She’s gonna be fire. What I really want to know is if you have to veg every single plant for close to 3 months for them to show fully developed preflowers like this. Or if there’s any way to reliably sex plants before they show pistils like this without sending it to a lab.
