Hey! A buddy told me recently that if a plant over thirty days doesn't have any five pointers it will probably be male. He pointed out a plant to me and later on it turned out that he was right. Has anyone heard this? This was new one to me.

myth. if you don't have seven points in 30 days you need to figure out why. some strains are slow but 7 points in a month is no big thing.

some strains don't even get the 7 points.....i've seen massive buds on plants that only have 5 leaflets
