Whats up RIU?

Quick question...:confused:

I have been vegging for 7 weeks and finally, today i see pistols forming on 2/4 plants i own...
I seriously was starting to think preflowers were a myth or something but like with all things
in cannabis cultivation Patience is the key...so anyone out there reading this be patient u will
see them i assure you!

Anyway heres the deal...

2/4 def female. the other 2 are worrying me. They cannot be sexed at the moment as they are just starting
to show sex...

1.My question is this--say i did have a male...Will it be blatantly obvious in comparison??
It wont drop pollen without being obviously a developed male right?

Im just worried that if one is male it will not be showing its sex and pollinate my females before i have time to nip it in the bud
so to speak...

2.when a male shows its sex how long afterwords will it be capable of successfully pollinating a female? Pics of the stages of development would be cool...
If they are premature are they still a threat?

Any answers or comment would be appreciated thanks alot roll it up! :peace:

Here's a piece of info instead of answering all ur Qs: U don't need to Veg forever to find sex, u flip to flower and they show sex. U'll catch male plants before they can possibly pollinate, You don't wanna take ur time but they do theirs b4 they start pollinating. Flip to 12/12 lights and u should see sex on those other 2 plants quickly, who Veges for 7 weeks?!?!?! :sleep:

1) You will notice that it's a male before it drops pollen. It will look like balls...

2) Once you notice balls it's only a week or two into flowering and it will start dropping its jizz. No premature male flowers won't be a harm as long as you remove it promptly. Just be sure to wait until you are sure it's male. Hate to throw a late blooming girl out.

...not to worry grasshopper, males will show themselves very obviously before they throw pollen, ...here's an AK47 male fully into flower with most of the pollen already released, ...he was used as a daddy.



...btw, i'm assuming your plant's are auto's? ...either way it shouldn't matter, you should be able to see the pollen sacks long before they open.

peace, bozo

Why would you assume his plants are autos? He vegged them for 7 weeks...kiss-ass


To answer your main question, the balls will form and you will know that you have a male plant, if you don't know what balls look like now just wait until you find out and you'll be like no shit this is a male plant.
