question about plant sex

**Tranceus** · 07-23-2012, 05:38 PM

ok so i have a few plants in my grow that look to be guaranteed female. a couple others not so guaranteed looking. i am on 1 week of 12/12 and before i start cloning i wanna know for sure which ones are fem and which ones arent. the ones that arent showing pistils seem to have a small ball growing where sex is shown but it is a tiny bit oval in shape and has 2 green hairs coming from either side of the same ball. should i wait or kill them now and another question is how long normally does it take for a male plant to start producing pollen that would jeopradize my crop?

I would say give it a few more days, youve only been in 12/12 for a week so no worries on the males, if your 100% take them out now, if your even 99% i would say leave them till you are.They wont bust open for another few weeks at the minimum aslong as you dont force them open. wait, double check, remove, continue. My 2 cents
