Gender & question about the plant

[Rappy]

Hi guys,

This is my second time growing a pot plant and this one is quite different from my old one. This one looks healthy and it is very bushy.

I'd like to get your input on this aspect. Is it too bushy? Should I start pruning or is it fine this way?

Also, is it possible to tell the sex at this stage? Please look at the photos below.

Plant looks great. Personally I would only micro top it. Which is taking only the the very highest- newest growth tip that's inbetween two sets of somewhat older growth. Doing so will create two tops. Then later m-top your two tops to create four tops. I know there are youtube videos on this(where I learned it from). Most likely there are tutorials here as well. I would not prune anything else yet. You can't tell sex of plant until it's in flower. Happy growing.

It does look very healthy to me as well, all organic too.

It's still young, 14 days in. I'm using 2 55w CFL lights so it's not going to grow very fast. I thought it would be good to flower it after 1 month or so.

Thanks for all the advice guys!

The green spikes are vegetative growth (spicules). Both genders have them. I personally like bushy plants. More leaves is a sign of more roots and a healthy plant for a good yield.

We all said it's too early to sex the plant. You have to wait til the plant is on a flowering light schedule. Then it will show male or female roughly about two weeks later.

Still an unsexed juvenile. Once it shows, there won't be any question. Males have tear-shaped pod on short stalks. These appear mid to upper nodes and often in pairs or quads. In a batch of seeds of one strain started at the same time, the males will show first. Once in a while, in a mature plant, you will see a stalk topped by a bunch of pods, like grass seeds. I had a mystery plant do that. It was bizarre, showing up almost overnight. But that is rare.

The females show two white hairs on the end of small buds, no stalk. Directly attached to a node, and especially at the growing tip, especially if a mature plant.

Once you experience this, you will never have a question again. The differences are very obvious.
