Hi,

Im a n00b first grow, I have white widow and AK47, starting to flower, I abit concerned and would like ANY advice on the sex's. They were purchased as feminised seed but I am getting worried now as the seem to be producing a little bit of extra things I dont want, so any advise before I give them the chop and review my grow setup?

Thanks in advance!!!

The first pic looks like a lady (congrats) but the 2nd pic is definitely MALE! (sorry)

I heard that you can tell at an early stage of veg by the nodes. If they are right next to each other they are males, if they stagger they are females. That seems true in the pics shown as well. I do not know if this is true or not but I have never had a female with nodes right next to each other, they are always staggered. And the male picture that is shown has the nodes right across from each other. Has anyone else heard of this?

After a week or two into the switch to 12/12 the sex should become clear and at that point males should be perfectly harmless to the females.

Wait so you have to grow all the way to flower to figure out whether or not its a male? How do you do this without pollinating the ladies?

"veg" = vegetative state. its like the plant is a child and growing.

when the plants are in the dark they produce a hormone to make them flower (or go through puberty). light interrupts this process, so if you have long summer days (and hence shorter dark periods) the process is interrupted when the sun rises (or your lights turn on) and vegging continues. once the nights are long enough the hormone will make it flower. thats what putting it on a 12/12 cycle does.

you need to place it on a 12/12 cycle and leave it alone in the dark during the 12 hour dark period. after about a week they will start to flower and it is at this point you will see the male balls.

i had 5 plants on a 24hr light schedule for about 6-7 months. sure enough about 10 days after i put them in the flower chamber the sexes started to show.

start flowering when the plant is half as big as u want it to be.example if it is 2ft tall then flower because it will prob reach 4/6ft at the end of flowering

What if the plant was started on a 12/12 light cycle? Im assuming that when you say a week or two till it shows sex that the plant had a veg period. what about just 12/12 from the start of the grow? a month? 2 months?

many of the questions posted in this thread can be easily found all over the forum, and if not, on google. I did not know much about a month ago, but i searched and read, and kept reading. It's unlikely all the questions in this thread will get responses, the answers are out there... waiting for you

Pics are good but at what week should these characteristics begin to show up? Do you immediately remove and destroy the males?

When the plant begins its flowering stage, it starts showing characteristics of its gender. The plant will also show signs a few months into the vegetative stage called "pre-flowering." People tend to want to get rid of the males immediately in fear that they might pollinate the females that they have. When females are pollinated they don't produce as much THC. If the male was put in a safe distance from the female, it could be harvested and smoked. But you probably wouldn't have any buyers because males don't produce a whole lot of THC. Also, it probably wouldn't be a very good high. :P
