Spot that gender - is this a male?

[Dinky73]

hey dudes,

5 days into flowering. This is the first of 6 plants which is showing any kind of flowering activity. I think it's a male, what u guys think?

I don't see balls anywhere.

Its a girl!!!

 

[Dinky73]

hey fditty! how can u be so sure, or are u just getting me all excited?

IMHO, it looks pretty masculine.

 

[Dinky73]

tks for input cph. From what i've read, there are other factors that can be an indication of masculinity:

- bushiness
- height
- point in time where u see flowering activity

the posted pic is one of the less bushy, spindlier plants and given only 5 days of flowering, i must assume that this is a male but i'm way happy about this - it follows that my other 5 plants are fems - they are bushier and show no signs of any flowering activity yet.

One question tho - they are in pots which are rather small for the plants size - would it be wise to re-pot at this point?

 

[Dinky73]

quick *bump* before i crash out - anybody else got some input and an answer to my re-potting question?
tks

Looks like a dude to me.

P.S. - The bigger, bushier ones are usually males. In my experience girls usually show first, but it's really up for grabs n that one.

Nice pic BTW.

looks like a male to me...u should be able to tell before they even flower....i think i see balls

 

[Dinky73]

Nice pic BTW.

u like pics? had a proper picture-taking session tonight

This is the whole crop and like i said, none of them are showing any flowering activity besides the one i posted up top (it's bottom right on the group pic)

Appreciate any further comments...
tks mates

 

[Dinky73]

k gonna crash out now - will update this with some pics tomorrow then can hopefully see more

I would repot them as soon as possible. They look healthy, a little stretched but healthy. What kind of light are you working with?

 

[Dradden]

Maybe i am having a hard time seeing past my pipe but the first pic looks like a male to me. I can see the just the start of some balls.

Males are usually taller and more sparce.I think(my opinion)I see calyx's..not pollen sacs. gl

 

[Fditty00]

My RIU wont let me open pics. But it looks like pistils to me.

 

[Dinky73]

What kind of light are you working with?

used 250W MH for veg (22days) and switched to 250W HPS for flowering (6 days in now).

It's my first grow so am really hoping to get a couple fems.

You have got that completly wrong, its complete reverse.

Op, can you see little balls at the nodes, i think i can.

 

[Dinky73]

Well i just had another close look at my crop and it would seem that a second (most probably) male has revealed itself too.

On the other hand, i spotted what looks like female activity on 2 other plants.

Took some pics but only 1 of the pics turned out nicely. Does that look like a female to you guys?

 

[cph]

I think I see hairs..

 

[mattyblade1]

It's 100% male. Kill it now.
