5 leaves male? 7 leaves female?

More is not better, usually if you have an indica strain you'll have less blades, but they will be thicker. Vice versa sativas have more blades, but tend to be skinny and finger like. Both strains probably have about the same surface area, and every plant is strain is different.

Hmmmm, this is all good advice guys appreciate it

ive read that the number of leaves in your upper sets depends on your lighting and growing conditions compared to what it has seen in the past genetically

i see my 1st 5 blade leaf too early to sex my plant?

i have some kush bagseed with 11 blade leaves wondering the strain though?came from dark, tight, slightly purplish buds.any suggestions?

even is male and odd is female you can test it but books from teh 1970's when i was growing up said leaves of even the plant is a steven; odd is lady you love with femi not sure since that was just becoming a thing but when i used to grow we found this to be correct that any even number plants sexed male when flowered and odd plants budded
but now in teh fancy age of the google machines you can work the internets and not fine this info anywhere

I think 5 leaf plants are democratic and 7 leaf republican. Either could be male or female.
