Sexing my first grow

Newbie42011112 · Mar 7, 2023

Hello!

first timer here, I am on my 4th week growing a bag seed that is growing really well and I may be getting my first signs of sex. I know it is still early but is the picture attached evidence of female flower or is it still too early?

Too soon.

If you get tests, you can determine sex before they're 20 days old. They're about 10 bucks per test, but can save you a good deal of grow time.

I had this one tested a day 9 from seed, had results within a week.

Sweet, thanks for the help! I will look into the dna test.

Why not just buy feminized seeds.........the cost would be about what you would pay to send it in to be tested for sex without the wait.
It doesn't make sense.

same answer, buy fem seeds, unless your doing a serious pheno hunt, then fem seeds are your best bet

I have them now but decided to get into growing with the bag seed I found. Now don’t want to start my auto seeds until I know the sex of this one.

Why?

worried of pollination but I check them a few times a day to refill humidifier. Will I most likely catch the sex before pollination checking them frequently?

There is no worry about pollination if you check your plants regularly.

I'd hope so, you have 4ish weeks from planting the seed for autos to start showing sex, you'll know what the other plants are by then.

oh awesome, new light comes in today so I’ll get started on germination once I have in hand and will keep checking in. Thanks!
