Male or Female?

[theengineer]

hey all, I've done much searching, but can't confidently identify my plant. can anyone tell if this is a male or a female please?

i would give it another minute or 2 to grow out(how old is the plant now?)

seems dudish to me

 

[theengineer]

it was three weeks old on Sunday past; I think it's a dude as well, it was from feminised seeds, so I guess I'm the .01%

I would wait a bit longer as well. It seems early to me that a plant from seed is showing sex at three weeks. Unless maybe it's an auto? It kind of looks like new growth to me. Can you post a pic of the whole plant?

 

[Kusharella]

Too soon to know. What strain is it ?

 

[theengineer]

thanks for the replies

it is lemon kush, supposedly female

 

[theengineer]

I just checked, it's actually five weeks this Sunday

 

[MacEFL]

I thought it looked a little tall for three weeks from seed.

Looks a little too early to tell ... I am no pro yet but I was able to 100% positively identify 15 females so far, can't remember at exactly which age, but at least 6 weeks in to be sure. I read to look for a football shaped growth for a female and a stick with balls at the tip for male... I also heard that the males will be taller and lanky with large internodal spacing, which sadly, looks like yours has. But I am pulling for a girl for you! Sending girly vibes ...

I heard that as well but interestingly enough the runt of my first grow was the only male plant and it took about 8 weeks to show sex under GLR.

It is too early to sex your plant.

here is a male and female cannabis plant

here is the female pre flower

 

[martymcfly]

This is a female pre flower ... note the 2 stipules growibg from the node

I guess I have to resize my pics, silly me, but in this case, it was important to get in close

looks too early

 

[theengineer]

so when does the male, if it is one, become a problem for the female I have in the same tent? one of them is squirting out its first pistils, and is 6 weeks old; so should I remove it asap?

 

[KingJohnC]

When you are flowering the sex will become evident if not before. In the first few weeks of flowering the male develops pollen sacks and must be removed.

 

[theengineer]

thank you all for your input.

I've noticed a few odd looking things, can anyone identify these?

 

[Dangle86]

I think you still have to wait a few more days. that looks like it could be a new leaf or branch coming out still. the male pollen sacks, look just like they sound, like a bunch of little balls bunched together.

 

[martymcfly]

Sorry, I can't tell either yet ... I know how painful it is waiting for the sex to show. Afew more days like dangle said.

so I just found this on the big tall lanky one I thought was a dude;
