so i was looking at my plants to try to sex them and saw these bulges. i havent read anything about bulding nodes on here when sexing the plant so i thought ide ask. im thinking the first is a male but the bulges are on both of my plants.

I see exactly what you are talking about. The second pic shows it. The first one doesn't.

It almost looks like a lighter green colored bubble at the junction. I have AK47 growing right now and it did the exact same thing and she turned out female :) I think it is just the plant beefing up support for the branch. I have PPP growing alongside and it DIDNT do that. I think it is just a strain trait. Go check out my grow journal in my signature. :joint:

Anyone else?

oh dude you just made me feel better. the ak, is it autoflower, in comparison, is the PPP autoflower. maybe that has something to do with it.

i would like some more "professionals" to get in on this, but thank you for the input.

Don't trip on the bulge bro. The two i got now BOTH did it, and they BOTH turned out female. And they have nothin to do with sex of the plant as far as i know, the only way to tell if its a boy or a girl is to simply wait. good luck

ALL of my plants do that, and they are ALL female. but that means nothing to you, cuz the males do it also. Very common among cannabis in general.

do you mean where the branches build up to strengthen so they can hold all the weight from the nuggets that will be growing.. thats exactly what i see in pic 2 thats how they grow

it lets you know the plant is spreading the nutrients evenly at that node comes from topping or FIMming you plant basically telling you you did it right about to post screenshot of source
