https://www.caligrowkits.com/hydroponic-kit.php Thats the kit I bought. everything comes today but the seeds. before I knew that I needed females to grow the buds I bought reg seeds. my question is at what point will I be able to tell if it is a male plant or female plant?? What should I do if I have a male and a female growing at the same time?? And one last question I will br growing in my closet with white walls would it be better if I put tin foil around the walls??

8-14 days after you put them under 12/12. No tin foil. Bad! Just paint the walls flat white. Grow the seeds. You dont have to worry about the males until they show the bananas. Will be very apparent before they're a problem.
PLant the seeds & enjoy. Its like a mystery! The tension will be thrilling! (its all about the spin baby!)

The male carries the pollen that pollinates the female, and it's the pollination that makes new seed. Just like with people -- the female carries the egg, the male carries the sperm and you have to put them together to make a new generation. Same with the plant. The female carries the bud, the male carries the pollen and you have to put them together to make a new generation.
So if you want to breed plants in the future and want to start developing your own seed inventory, then males are important to you.
If you're just growing to sell, then you don't want any seeds in the bud because customers don't like that. They like their bud to stay virginal. So you don't want a male anywhere near those females.
But if you're growing to smoke it yourself, and don't mind taking out seeds, then it probably doesn't matter all that much. Back in the day, all weed had seeds in it, and getting them out before rolling was just part of the ritual.
On it's own, the male doesn't have a use, as it doesn't contain the THC that the female does.
Hope that helps!
