My five are 28 and 31 days and I can't tell yet. Maybe that's a hopeful sign!

From the photo, I’m inclined to agree with your prediction of male. It’s got the little nut with a stick next to it look.
I’m very impressed with your younger plant’s growth in one week. She looks great!

Since you only need 3 females for your grow, all 5 of them will probably be girls...
Not everyone can choose male seeds as well as I can....
I sort of expected that at least one would be male- I just hope it's only the one....
LOL! We'll see...
Hey carcass! nice grow and I love the title.
Hope you don’t mind me joining late.

Great to see you, shotta
- you're welcome here anytime !
You ever consider checking the calderas before you plant seeds? Allegedly you can tell a female from a male by an unbroken caldera.
I just consult my Magic 8 Ball or Ouija Board.

I'd never heard of that..in fact,I had to google 'caldera'.
..it won't hurt anything to checkthat from now on- my "regular" seeds are going to grow outdoors from now on, though-I'm going to go with fem seeds indoors from now on - I'm not a fan of the wasted time and resources invloved in growing a male till it shows sex...
I currently use the very scientific "eeny -meeny- mynie- moe" method- although my current grow is proving that to be a flawed process...
Do you have a picture of a broken vs unbroken caldera? Where would the break be? I should have taken closeup pics of my seeds before I planted!
Broken caldera looks sort of like a volcano that has erupted and lava had flown from it.. its Round but has a gash in a specific direction. Perfect calderas are round without any break in the circle... let me see if I can find that picture Sue posted.
There it is. That’s a perfectly round, allegedly female, caldera

Thanks Chef! Wish I had documented mine. From now on, all pics of regular seed calderas will be taken!

Yes,Thank You,Chef-I had no idea that was a thing... I'll start checking them too- so
unbroken is female, and broken is male,right?
unbroken is female, and broken is male,right?
Said every woman ever .

Correct!
I think if we all start to document our calderas, we’ll come to a conclusion on whether or not this has bearing on gender pretty quickly.
I don't have any seeds dropping for a while, but when I do, I will start a thread dedicated to nothing but caldera pics, where people can post the pic and then come back whenever they discover the sex and update.
If no one else does it in the meantime!

That’s a great idea Shed! Tonight when I get home I’ll take/post pictures with my jewelers loupe that show the difference between broken and unbroken
Interesting... I'm gonna check my femized seeds... theoretically none should be broken.
That or, they’ll be broken or unbroken and it doesn’t matter.
It will be interesting to see if fem seeds can be broken or unbroken, but in regs it makes a difference.
