Male, Female, or Hermie? Please help!

[rjgrowbig]

We need help! We are new to the site, and new to growing. We grew one in dirt about a year ago. It was small but successful. We now have 3 dirt and 4 DWC in 2 different tents. One of the dirt ones is further along so it’s been separated. We thought it was a female but now we have no idea. It looks like it’s starting to flower (around week 2 of flowering) but also has lots of sacs. I thought male plants didn’t have a lot of leaves? But this one has always had beautiful leaves. We have another dirt one with huge leaves that I might need help identifying as well. I’m really not sure when it’s best to determine if it’s a male or female.. at what stage can you REALLY tell? That 2nd one is still on the 18/6 light cycle.

Here are photos of the main one in question. Will we still get bud or is it a total loss? I can get better pictures if needed.
Can someone help us?

It's all male.

Complete male. 100% balls. Sorry or congrats depending on what she is meant for

Is bud still possible or should we just trash it and save the nutrients for others?

No bud is possible my friend. I would trash it all, even the soil, unless it's fresh soil from recent transplant

It's a boy. If it's around other female's you going to have seeds. If you don't want that I would definitely kill it asap or move him far away like miles away..

Posting our other dirt plant. Not as far along and still on the 18/6 light cycle. This looks more like female. Can someone confirm? I can try for better pics if necessary
Also, can someone help and let us know WHEN is a good time to look and check? I hate to waste nutrients (and power) by waiting.

Last picture right about your middle finger where the node makes a fork It looks like it see a little white hair and a little pistol.. I would think it's female. But better picture would be great

And if you are using regular seeds (not femaleized ) and you want to speed up the process. You can start them on 12/12 from seed and in like 2 1/2 3 weeks you will be able to tell the sex... I've done it with the current grow I have now you can go check my journal and see I think it only took 26 days somewhere around there

Looks like another male my friend, sorry

I love regular seeds but Feminized might be a good starting point. Seeds sponsors on this site are great, check them out. Cheers bud

Yes it is a boy.. it had me fooled it could be herm cause in some spots looks like booth sorry

Omg really? Is it specific environments that turn them males or is it just luck of the draw?
We definitely didn’t have feminized seeds… we lived in DC for a year and had access to pretty much everything. Some strains we purchased had seeds so we saved them and that’s what we’ve been using so far.

We will check out the seed sponsors and go from there. But if it’s certain environmental factors that can turn it, let me know please! I don’t need all of these ending up as males!

It sucks but I would definitely be starting on 12/12 if you continue to use regular seeds so you can know sooner... Just my opinion

 

[rjgrowbig]

You guys are great! I can’t thank you enough for helping out a couple of know-nothing newbies.

We’re loving this site so far and will start to use the journal and track things. Everyone is friendly and helpful <3

Should we put the hydro ones on 12/12? We JUST put those seeds in. We germinated and they popped so we put them in rock wool and into the buckets. But those are regular seeds as well.. not feminized.

Yes, imo environment is heavily influenced. Blue light, florescent, is recommended for seedlings. Feminized doesn't matter.
Also Temps/humidity need to be in check.

Hope that helps
Cheers
