Male or Female?

[joedaddy805]

Well i was out looking at the plant today and for some reason its looking more like a male to me unless females make sacks like these.

Hard to tell from the pictures.

 

[joedaddy805]

ill try and get better pics tomorrow. But should it have a bunch of sacks on a female. it looks like sacks but not sure if they are gonna sprout out like a female.

 

[Lester Freeman]

Female cannabis plants have white pistils protruding out of a "calyx" which could be mistaken for a pollen sack early on, but the white hairs are the most noticable part. If there are no white hairs then perhaps your plant is a hermaphrodite with mostly male genes.

well I'm finding a few more of these here and there looks like i might get lucky and have a girl.

so is this female looking or just something else then

 

[joedaddy805]

these seeds did come from a plant that did hermit up at the end

 

[ShrubHub]

those look almost 100% female but you can have both sexes on the same plant. the other pictures you posted dont look like male parts to me, but wait a few days.

Here is a few others i can't see to get that good of a pic.

Here are some pictures of my pet birds in the off topic "Pet Pictures" thread

looks like a hermie to me.

it is definitely part female, but i believe i see pollen sacks too, which makes it a herm.

 

[joedaddy805]

So ill still get a good amount of bud with seeds?

 

[Jimmycricket]

sometimes a hermie will not seed itself.

If you spend a lot of time chopping off all the pollen sacks before they open then you should get no seeds for sure.

 

[joedaddy805]

Well I wouldn't mind some seeds so I guess I'll just let it go and see what happens

I would not use seeds from a hermaphrodite cannabis plant, the seeds will inherit the same hermaphrodite gene.

 

[joedaddy805]

Why wouldnt you use seeds from a hermie. Is it a crappy bud or is it just the same but with seeds? As for mw im not really into growing the best weed cause i just grow it out of fun and the challenge. But i do smoke it when its done. So as for me a hermie wouldnt bother me cause if i can get more seeds the better for me. Tht way i dont ever have to buy seeds. I wouldnt mind the hermie cause i dont want to buy seeds and i havent had any luck cloning. Even tho im trying my hand in cloning one more time. Hopefully that goes well.

Well a stress hermi wouldnt be so bad, a natural hermi like this seems to be though seems bad.

 

[joedaddy805]

these seeds came from a plant that hermied up at the end cause i think i left in flower to long. as long as it makes bud, seeds or both ill be good.

 

[joedaddy805]

You can read up on this plant on my lst grow journal if you want to see its history i planted this thing back in oct 5 of last year and had it in veg for 4 months

So my next question is how long till it starts making pollen and how do i save it for later use.can i just cut a couple of them off and put them in a jar and freeze it. then how long do i have to wait till i pollinate my female plant what time in flower should i do it.
