Male or female?

I can guess before flipping based on plant structure and smell but it is still not an absolute till the nuts show
Females are almost always last to show so that is a plus in your case
For myself, it's the airy looking plants that grow perfect with long nodes. I've never noticed a difference in smell profile m vs f. Females tend to be messy looking, bushy a.f. and usually squat. Males tend to be my faster growers as well BUT that being said, still gotta wait for them balls to be 100% sure.

What do you notice, like smell, that gives a tell whether female or male, aside from nutts?

@twentyeight.threefive I'm starting to feel like I should know everything?

I don't know everything I'm just another grower with experience in stuff I've experienced nothing more.
You can pretend to be botanists I don't care I'm only concerned with my grow.
In future I'd appreciate it if you could refrain from replying to my questions/posts.

Men always seem a bit rank :lol:

You're the only one pretending. If you think you can prove flushing works from some half ass "experiment" but can't figure out the sex of a plant then I question your experience.

The first time I ran regs I could figure out their sex on my own. It's not hard if you actual do research on what they look like and give them time to show sex. From the pictures you've shared they barely look sexually mature.

Completely agree with you both but apparently some people can tell before flipping, I'm putting it to the test.
I always wait till they show sex before flipping to 12/12. Is that what you're trying to put to the test?
Have had a single sat/haze plant that wouldnt show till the flip, although it may have if i had given it more time.

Yes that's correct I'd like to have known which is which without the need to flip.

I topped them about 5-6 days ago from 10-12th node down to the 4-5th node but I couldn't see any indications on the tops removed.

Cheers!

Your a complete idiot, do you seriously think that I can't tell a male from female???
You're thick as shit as well as a huge fkg troll.

Listen up brainless....I'm not needing help sexing them, it's not rocket science I'm mearly asking other experienced growers opinions... So that pretty rules you out :-)
Fuck off

I assumed that when a plant is topped or fimmed , it ( ? sets them back ? ) takes a little longer . If that makes no sense I will delete this post.
I don't normally top them but I'd left them a bit longer than planned, I'd normally tie them over at 5-6th node but they got away from me a bit 10-12 nodes when I topped them.

If you can sex your own plants why are you asking others to do it for you? I mean you created a whole thread about it. Huh, rocket scientist?

Maybe if you crack the stem open the sap will be blue if a boy and pink for a female. Do a scientific test.

I've tried a little experimental fimming but only on single branches as opposed to preparing the plant with it, do have any pics where you used fimming just for curiosity?

Cheers!
Couldn't tell now as Im in week 5 of flower
