Question about telling sex apart at 8-10 weeks. Any other ways to tell other than the balls?!

I read you can tell the sex apart at six weeks from seed, and the male / female bits will form. However there is no sign of any balls. And every time I think I’ve found a stick It’s a god darn branch hair!.

Here’s a pic of one of my plants any idea if it’s male or female is it possible to tell yet? Am I clear of the balls? I don’t like balls much. Thanks in advance.

Plants won't show sex until they are sexually mature, which is when the side branches start to alternate. At that point you can continue to wait or flip the light schedule to 12/12.

It's too early to say. You can force them to sex by flipping them but I don't advise it unless you are satisfied with how much they vegged

Sorry, that's ok. These plants are for a seed run. 2 are males and I am stoked. 2 males and 3 females from 5 seeds is super lucky. Not growing smoke here, passing on a strain that is hard to find.

I have a feeling he knows. Maybe he was testing? But remove or separate that male! The hairs(young stigma) are these the first to show? I feel there is more studying of the early growth shape of the male/ female or the details that can help to identify before potential balls or clear sex signs appear! this is what I’d like to expand my knowledge on I have a feeling that the males won’t have some of the early characteristicsas a female would

No bud, 5 plants. Making seeds and passing them out into the world.

The true story about Paonia Purple Paralyzer

Hey everyone. My bud Jessica did some awesome research and interviews to compile the following history article. There's a version circulating on the web that she says is extracted from this article and badly so. Any odd misspellings are my own fault, due to the difficulties of OCR'ing a PDF...
