What's up man, thanks for stopping by.

No, I have no idea what strain it is. The guy I got it from is some old hippie dude and doesn't talk about it much. I wouldn't call it some exotic strain either, it was more like some real good mid grades. Like a potent swag, I can't really explain it.

Either way, if these babies turn out to be females, it will definitely be some good smoke.

I just went and examined my plants again and Plant 1 and 2 are showing some growth around the 7th and 8th nodes. It's growing at the internodes and it isn't the extra leaves. I'm really worried now because it looks like they could both be males! I should be able to tell within the next couple days what I have here.

Let's hope for the best...


**update**

Does anyone have any really good, early pictures of male plants/pre-flowers.
does this help?

Thanks for taking the time to read my entire journal bro.

On those links, yea...I've read all those. I guess I just need to wait a little longer, It's really hard to tell at this point. But there is definitely something starting to form.

i've been enjoying it!

waiting for sex to show can be very trying. and i'm not saying they are males or anything but if you can see something and there aren't any wispy hairs - well.... chances are it is a boy (or you are looking at new nodes and not preflowers which is often the case). though you want to wait before doing anything drastic!

No, I don't think it's new nodes.

It's definitely in between the nodes at the very top. At the 7th and 8th node.



Doesn't look like that, but at the nodes like in that pic.

OK...I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I'm 90 percent sure Plant 2 is a male. :(

Looks like two or three clusters forming on the 8th node. And with the way it's been growing lately, yea it's probably a male.

How long until it will pollinate any other plants? I think I have until the female plants show hairs?

I should for sure know by tomorrow....

PS..

What should I do with the plant? Throw it in a box and haul it out to the trash? I live in an apt, so it's a community trash bin.

Here's a pic of something similar to it:

if you are being super-careful, you'd carry it a good distance and dispose of it as clandestinely as possible.

Community trash is better than curbside pick-up but ensure nothing incriminating/identifying is with it.

There is always drains/disposals/etc.. but be careful - you don't want to have to call a plumber so don't try to dispose/flush stems! It is still hemp after all and that shit is TOUGH!

if you have a fireplace/pit - but that might get a bit stinky!

i think you won't have to worry about pollination for a long while yet. the male balls have to open in order to pollinate so you can be absolutely certain of males (balls on stems) before disposal.

you can try making hash - but making hash requires the plant be heavy in trichomes and while males do get trichomes they wouldn't have near enough (or any) at this age.

Yea, I think me and my girl are going to take this punk ass out back and work him over real good.

GrnMan: Say fool, what you doin letten them balls hang out and shit!

Plant 2: No...NO..NO, not me...don't do that...NOOO! Those aren't balls...I swear!

GrnMan: Break yo self fool...I'm bout to get crazy on yer ass!

Plant 2: I promise....give me one more chance.

GrnMan: Poors lighter fluid on Plant 2 and drops the match...





Well either way, male or not, this was a very good learning experience. I was pretty much able to tell this plant was probably a male from it's characteristics. I would have never imagined that I would be able to do something like that.

Now I just got to hope that the other two are females....

it is a tough call. check this pic out...
the two largest plants as well as the smallest are females and the two plants that are about the same size are both males!

the little wee one did not last long enough to tell.

Yea, but I'm pretty sure it's a male. I dunno, I've seen people on here that think they got males then they end up to be female. I guess I'll wait and see tomorrow. By then, I should surely know...

Damn I really hope the rest are females or at least one of them! I don't want to have gotten this far and end up with all males...how disappointing.

Any way it can go hermie? At least I'd get some buds out of it, huh?

Man the more and more you look at these things, the more you start to notice.

I have never experienced males going hermie - not sure if that can happen. Now a plant can just be a hermie from the start and grow with both but usually is stress related. I hope you do not have my bad luck.

If i recall correctly, I think out of the first dozen attempts (all with bag seed btw) i got 10 males and 2 females that hermied.

Yea, that sounds about like my luck. :(

Maybe I could be looking at these things and a hair will pop out of it soon?





That's what I've heard about bagseed. You will end up with lots of males..I think I'm going to get some feminised seeds on the next grow or at least get a really good strain.

Yea, you're right...DUH! Males can't go hermie...all this male shit has my head cloudy..

let's hope so. don't jump the gun and kill them too soon - give them a week after you are "certain" . but we can't be in denial either.

Yea...like I said, I'm going to wait it out and see what happens. I'm not going to kill it just yet.

I got my fingers crossed...
