Are my babies boys or girls?

[AlmostHeaven]

These seeds in particular i actually grew myself last summer. I'll show some pics of em. Had one massive skunky cooky and two smaller clone cuttings of rossetta stone. Now here is what boggled my mind..my seed for skunky cookies was femenized supposedly and both clones also obviously female..zero males...but all kept at least 9 week..i got about 4 seed total from the cookie and a few from each rossetta stone, a couple of those looked pale and useless but the last few looked great..anywhooo here is what they looked like..really hope they end up like their miracle mothers as they were friggin hands down phenomenal!! i kept a stash of those 6 seeds that got mixed up and oops but a few other strain added to mix..ww, banana og, and even one nighterror og seed making 10 total..so a mystery pack of ten random good looking seeds if u will. totally my fault and definitely wouldnt do again because now im guessing..ha..at least i know the strains thry came from i suppose lol..this lookin at old pics got me about to rip a dab hehe peace

Very nice looking plants man! Yeah it can happen even though they were feminized seeds something in the genetics could have caused a few pollen sacks to pop up somewhere unnoticed (usually in the lower branches) or perhaps some form of stress was enough to trigger. In my opinion I think it's great when you get a few seeds here and there that you can put away for future grows especially if you had a good run with the mother plant and enjoyed that particular strain. I am actually in the process of revegging a couple of my harvested plants from a few weeks ago because I really like the strain and want to keep it going so I'm going to reveg one into a mother to take clones when I want and the other will be harvested. Im even considering trying my hand at grafting one strain onto another strain for fun to see what the outcome will be. Growing for me this year has been a lot of fun, I can't wait for spring so I can start my outdoor plot.

Update! Is this one showings signs of being male?!

[BeanTownFan420]

yes being it is a pod on a raised stock most definitely is male.

 

[AlmostHeaven]

Think i should chop it, does it have any chance at all?

Most likely it isn't female and is male I chopped my Zambian today at day 49 of the flip due to nanners from selfed seed.

Aww i hate to hear that...wonder if i should wait or chop?

If that plant was female you would already see white hairs it is a male but you make the call. I cloned her so I will flower her clones and keep one so if they do not hermie on me before week 8 is over or by day 56 I will still keep them and pick at 8 weeks before they produce seed.

Ok i remembered making this thread and wanted to update ..havent found anymore balls thankfully. Anyways here is current shots of the 3 seedlings left. Thanks all and cheers from my garden to yours!!

Nooo!! Please tell me this isnt a male?!...Found a couple balls...and not seeing nearly as many white hairs on this one if any?! Definitely some but not near as many as the other for sure females. Just want some more trained eyes...hate to chop but thats definitely what will happen if male...Please take a look 420...let me know what you guys think..thanks in advance.

It does look more like a male pollen in its early stage, but I have seen some strange calyx's that have fooled me. Keep an eye on it over the next couple days forsure or cut it off carefully and examine the inside to get a better look, if it's male you should be able to see tell after cutting it open.

well this sounds hopeful...maybe i should just wait a few days before chopping. Can it pollinate this early if its male? biggest fear is ruining the crop. After close examination i see zero white hairs except center of flowers which worries me, the other two have white hairs coming from every nook and cranny. Would be great if was just weird genetics...but i just dont know.
On positive side it is very late for male to just be showing, arent they normally showing first?

I don't discard any plant till I see a small cluster of balls like this.
