Is this a male or a female part?

I'm just being impatient. It doesn't look like a club or balls... At least, not yet... Is this the first sign of a male or are pistils going to shoot out from this thing? Any input would be nice.

too early to say, imo

why are you cutting off fan leaves?

i'd say female...
i'm pretty sure too.
um bad idea to cut fan leaves this early
(never cut more then 50% of leaves on plant)
i wouldn't recomend it at all(n)
only if leaf is dyin(70% of leaf dead)

It's kind of an experiment... I don't know, but the plant seems mostly indica because the leaves are huge at maturity, and the plant is short... I have cut off mature fan leaves all the way to the stalk from the beginning of the grow to keep them from shading the rest of the plant. It is a grow with CFL's, and as we all know, CFL's don't have that much penetrating power. I am not going to cut anymore of the fan leaves though, since it has some nice, well rounded, sturdy growth on it now. I'll be surprised, however, if I didn't shock it into becoming male. It's only a month and 3 days old and it has been growing pretty strong with 4 or 5 main colas and has stayed mildly short. Of course, it may only be short because all the cutting could be slowing growth.

I added the sand about 2 days ago to keep those little black gnat eggs from respawing those pesky critters. Tomorrow, I'll take the sand out and hopefully all those little eggs have perished...

sweet plant man.oh and yes, congrats-you have a female-soon youl have some white hairs pokin out there.

are you going to make a grow journal,there are lots of people growing with the cfl's that would be interested

I am kind of new to this website... I can do some exploring, and figure out how to make one... Is it okay that I start it right now, a month into growing it?

Sooooo... Can you tell me how to do it? I am having trouble locating a "Grow Journal".

Grow Journals ,,,they go in here

shouldn't cut the fan leaves it doesn't help the plant needs fan leaves to take energy from them during flowering and it looks female to me might be Hermie though could have been stressed to much in your pruning.

What about all the fan leaves that are still there, or are going to be produced from new growth? Isn't that going to be sufficient enough to draw energy? I figured that cutting the 7/9/11 leaves directly would be worse then cutting the stem right at the stalk. Like it would be hurt in 7/9/11 places versus 1 place.

Example: A hand has fingers, would it stress more to cut individual fingers, or the whole arm off at the body? Granted, it's way different, but I'm relating to the plant...

I didn't do a journal, but I posted in the CFL section... I will keep it updated

Anybody else have any suggestions on if it's male or female?

actually, that is all relative to your specific lighting requiriments

Look up "SOG" growjing

I have the same problem, my plant is growing leaves where the branches connect to the stem and i can't tell what it is yet. (My first grow by the way).

The leaves are supposed to grow there, and will shoot out on a stalk of their own... Thus creating another set of bud sites! I only cut stems that had one leaf growing from it, not the new stalk growth that grows above the stem.

Believe me, you will know what sex it is by sometime, as long as you changed to a 12/12 cycle or if it's a strain that sexes without having to change the cycle. There is really no way of not knowing after some time.
