Has anyone else ever noticed that a male plant smells slightly different than a female?

I have been trying to determine the sex of my plants before they actually show it and have done this for the past 3 of my grows. Been right 9 times out of 10.

The males have a musky/ citrus smell to them and the females have a sweet bud smell to them.

The best way I find to do it is slightly rub the stalks with my thumb and my index finger and sniff (sounds dirty I know ).

Anyone else here of this or tried it themselves?

sounds really hick lol. I think i would rather go with my eyes!

Yeah but they don't have buds. Male and female plants are basically identical before they start to flower.

And if there is anything I can do to get rid of the males sooner, Im all in. I don't know about you but I would rather not WASTE my expensive lights on males that I am going to chop down anyway.

I have found the smell of the males at least 2-3 weeks before they start to show sex. 2-3 weeks of light adds up to a lot of money bro.

Do you have anything constructive to say?

I would like to believe what I smell but sometimes I get pleasantly surprised. One of my recent grows I had a plant that towered over all the others of the same strain...almost double the size and it turned out female. We all know that males are usually taller and grow faster.

True.

I just saw it mentioned on another site and I have been experimenting to see if I can detect a male early.

Like I said, been right 9 times out of ten. I just want to be able to drop the males asap.

I hear ya bro Sometimes I keep males to collect pollen but yeah, we need to ID them suckers quick like
