If you look next to the stipules, you'll see the tear drop calyxs (spelling), specifically the one to the right of the stipules. Out of each of the calyxs there are two white little hairs, not the green stipules. It's 100% a lady

sweet thread hoping to do the same with mine,nice selection of plants going be watching this as there has been some growth on those plants,how moist does the soil have to be the first 3 weeks

MJ likes a wet to dry cycle, never keep the soil constantly wet or moist. Water till there is some runoff, then let soil get nearly all the way dry. Your plants will tell you when they need water. Underwatering is better than overwatering in my opinion. With your plants small as they are, you don't need a whole lot of water. Just my opinion.

Haha.. I was worried sick too man.. just got home today and WOW! you'll be pleasantly impressed when you get home I'm sure.. my plants had grown up all the way to the bottom of my light and are bushy as hell...

best news.. the two big ones I had started earlier were both females!! (at least I'm 95% certain as I'm seeing white hairs...)

Can't wait to see the pictures from when you get home...

update:
Happy new year all! I'm back a married man! Been a good 8 days since an update. I came home to my babies last night and they were severely underwatered and looked terrible. I gave them a good soaking and they perked up considerably by the time I took these pics. Still I little wilted, but coming back fine! They grew a lot while I was gone. It was dope as hell to see such a big difference. I'm done tying to create new tops(I have plenty), just going to let them go vertically the rest of the way! Also, I didn't wanna Fuck with taking the babies out for close ups, but I have 4 CONFIRMED FEMALES!! BB #1,#2,#3 AND afghan kush #2!! I'm still on 18/6, gonna keep vegging em! Hopefully the headbandz and kush #1 show sex before I do the 12/12 switch! I wouldnt mind one or both of the remaining plants being male, its going to start getting tight with 6 plants. The plants are nice and green and healthy! A few bottom leaves are getting uniformily yellow. Just a few here and there. It's clearly nitrogen Def. I think next water ill finally add some off my ff nutes ! What do you guys think!!!??? Sorry for the lighting!

Exploded is a good word!! It was a terrible mix of emotions when I opened my cab. I was so angry and sad at how wilted they had gotten, but I was also elated at the EXPLOSION !!

Inspected babies closer...I combed over them with a magnifying glass and ALL 6 PLANTS ARE FEMALE!!! WTF?!!! Hhow does that happen with bagseed??!! Now my problem is space . I almost forgot, here is that stupid bb #4 that never left the solo cup is still there rootbound as hell I'm sure ! Now I need to think of their names!

According to Jorge Cervantes medical bible, plant sex is determined by how the seeds are treated/handled through germination/early stages of life. You must have done well in providing a near-stress free environment and very little light hitting the taproots etc.

Temps seem to be bit too high 80 degrees? Temperature and Humidity are extremely important.

Welcome back! 6 girls? Run don't walk and buy yourself a lottery ticket! Maybe give 1 or 2 plants to cool friends. Spread the love. It's good karma!

Does something look wrong with the plants to indicate that the heat is a problem? It's 80 directly under the bulb. Temp inside of cab not in direct light is 76. I can hold my hand on the cool tube under bulb and hold there forever with no burn.

It's crazy right? None of my friends grow otherwise I gladly would. I may have to just murder a lady or two....that's so painful to even think about. I will let them all keep going for now, and then cross that bridge when it comes.
