Default Sexing @ seeds
ok so i read that male plants grow bigger
and i read that male plants sex first
would it be safe to say that male seeds are the first to germinate?
or have the biggest roots after X days?
i always go for the healthiest looking seeds after a day or 2 of germination, is that a mistake?

Naw you cant do that... A seed is a seed. Root is a root.

The males grow faster than females everytime isn't all fact either. Just something that is a possibility.

I've seen a post like this before some people believe it and cant be told otherwise... But to be completely honest some plants might just be healthier than others.... not getting as much light and it stretches to reach for the light and may look like its growing "faster".

As mane said "The males grow faster than females everytime isn't all fact either. Just something that is a possibility."

facts > believes...... wait for it to flower and find out imo.

might be a good experiment to keep an eye on your germing seeds, make a note on the fastest growing and see what the results will be. id be interested.

If everyone who grew pot wrote everything down and kept a detailed grow journal for each plant, the knowledge of cannabis today would be phenomenal, dont cha think? I think there might be unknown variables that influence the sex of the plant.... Take a look at an alligators eggs:
30ºC Incubation = All Females
34ºC = All Males

Who knows?

I remember a post somewhere where you could look at the bottom of the seed where there is a little concave, and the shape of it determined if it was male or female. Don't remember where, but some said it was true, others said it was bullshit. Thats the internet for you...

I remember like 10yrs ago, maybe more, there were ads in High Times for something that would let you sex your seeds before they germed. I don't know if it worked, what it was, or if it is still around, but they claimed to be able to do it.

I personally don't think there is any way to tell from seed what the sex is, nor do I think there is a way to promote more females from seed.

a seed is a seed, a root is a root. Plus, sexing your plants is half the fun!
