Is this bud or bunches of new leaves

I agree with you 100% but for me I would rather start over and get a decent harvest with no stress of thinking about pollen. And mutant plants. It just seems a waste of time for me but that's just my personal preference .

What is the hassle? That male didn't look mature enough to release any pollen. If the other plants are female why would they want to start over? Why not flower the females? If you plant regular seeds you will get males. If you don't want them for pollen then you remove them when they show sex. There is no reason to toss the females.

Guys, dont know if you remember your first but to me they became my babies. I bitched about the cost of a dime bag in school and little did I know how hard and how tedious kinda getting this right was at least from and indoor grow. so much resarch, so much babying and TLC. I killed some of the guys las night that have struggled just becaues of my newbie learning screw-ups and had just starting to flurish. crazy thing is that this whole stupid idea has gotten me through my shut-in COVID bs. All good though my favorite guys are my femanized guys who are the biggest and happiest and in reading and in observation take their own damn time and finally after months AND MONTHS are showing signs of bud. From some simple light bulb to a fair amount of money on lights and money. Honestly I dont know if I will even smoke it. Just some strange way to connect to nature or feel normal.

Anyway, those last two pics (unless I missed something obv) dont appear to show signs of any gender at this point. One has actually developed tiny fine hairs. doesnt mean it is a female for sure but I have completely seperate both in a differnt closed room so lets see what happens. I am monitoring closely and will let you know

As said above personal preference. If I'm using my time I wish to harvest a full room not waste my time on eg: 3 when i could have 8. Again personal preference.

Here is a couple pics of my Fem/Auto girls who started showing signs of this over the past 4 days. I hate to even ask and I am knocking on wood right now but I assume this is early signs of bud forming maybe?

Buds indeed. Blast them with light.

WOOOT!!! Thanks HydroKid239

ok so sitting here thinking of that statement. I did lower my grow light a bit but I assume I still keep them on 12/12 light schedule at this point?

BTW if it helps, I have a King Plus 600W LED hung 22" above the canopy
