Way to tell gender before flowering?

Hi Everyone;

I'm almost ready to flower with 2 plants. I've taken 2 clones and moved them away.

I'm worried that because of the proximity of my plants, that if one is male, it may polenate the other.

Is there a way to tell the gender prior to flowering?

If not, how soon after moving into a flowering cycle will the appearance of "genitals" appear quickly? Will I be on time to discover a male before it fucks my female?

nope unless it is a feminized seed .. just sex it if its a male trash it female put it back into veg that will also make for bushier plant as internodes grow closer together when you start flowering

some strains will show sign of sex during vegg and other strains wont,, all the seeds that me and a buddy breeded 2 summers ago and got a freezer bag full of seeds have shown their sex during vegg, my blueberry seeds that i ordered have been showing sign of sex during vegg,,, but i have some that havnt shown anything untill 2-3 weeks into flowering before,,, so i usually wait untill i seen sign of sex before i take my clones

only way to know for sure is to start flowering on a 12 x 12 lighting and u should start to notice sex over next week or 2. just keep checking for those little pistle hairs that means you've got a lovely female.

lol...all strains show sex in veg once thjey are mature. no need to switch lights. you just havent waited long enough. need to see alternating nodes for a sign of maturity

agreed i was about to say that...

as i was lol.... but it would be best to just sex from 12 12. thats why i base off 5-6 mothers so i can just clone. always have females.
unless fem seeds

actualy forcing isnt good as its not mature yet to produce the best possible from the plant. toi achieve the peek potency you need to let it mature first. forcing it to isnt a mature plant.

Thats funny you said that. "the peak potency ordeal"


one point made, as soon as a plants nodes alternate, its mature.
even if its only 4 weeks old.

And you cant "force maturity" hahaha
thats like saying, im 12 and i want a fuckin huge dick.
you saying i can force a giant dick to grow.

its gentics, to each and indvidual cell. When a plants mature rate is.
You grow based on GENTICS, not cause you simply want to grow that strain.

To acually obtain (what you call) Peak potency, is to study the background
of what your gowing. EXP durban poison, wont yeild nor peak out
if grown is substanceale envoirments, "75 degrees" humity on key ect ect..

its grown in low humidity, and high 80s low 90s. As oppose of OG
need to be lower temps higher humidity.
Same goes for ruderalis breeds. they mature at 12 inches or less.
this is a prime example

get what im sayin

Sonogram i think its called.

what???. were talking about not being able to sex a plant unless its 12/12. i just used that as a reff to make it easier for the poster the get it
how is anyone goingh to study the background of any strain with all the over breeding that goes on and ones that dont even have a clue whats in it. i can pull peek from any strain and not know the history. but then i have the fancy machines to tell me what the plant needs are amnd potency when done

....IMO, a mature plant would be one showing sex while in veg.
....you force flowering, and you can force flowering at any time from seed - mature and will produce the same quality, however quantity may differ.

Ehh I have no Say on this but. Many Pros take the stance that a Mature plant would have more potency potential than lets say a 12/12 seedling

...hmmm, interesting. I suppose, I actually have no experience flowering from seed...but, I do flower straight from clone (which are cut from mature mothers) ....so, I suppose my .02 on that part of the subject should be nullified.

Nor do I. But I still would find it difficult to test out. Even with same strains... cause if its a bomb strain.. Who knows which is better after the first few puffs

...hahaha, I agree ...theirs always the possibility of phenotype difference that would play a factor in that experiment.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. How many plants do you know that live in 24 hour light in nature? We're not forcing flowering with 12/12, we're delaying it with 24. The plant wants to flower as soon as it is capable of doing so. You cant flower an immature plant at all. it's like trying to get an infant pregnant. When the plant is mature, it will show sex and no sooner, regardless of lighting schedule. And there's no way to flower a plant that has no sex organs, so I can't at all see how logically a 12/12 seedling is flowering immaturely.

yeah, but either way.. the plant (even with no veg at all.. like a 12/12 from sprout grow) eventually all plants will show sex and will fully ripen. The thing about not giving a plant any veg time.. is.. the less veg time you give your plant(s), the longer the plant will take to actually start its flowering process (takes longer to show its true sex; to flower).

alot of people count their plants as being in flowering as soon as they switch over their lights to 12/12. Which is incorrect. The correct way, is to wait until the plant actually shows its first flowers, female plants (calyx with hairs protruding out the center; look like an upside down teardrop).. or first pollen sacks, male plants (banana shapped pod that contains pollen) and then as soon as you notice one of these signs.. thats when you start counting from that moment on as being an actual flowering cycle.

Hopefully that helped clear up any confusion.

peace.

Uhh.. i can flower a plant before Alternating Nodes. im sure you can too. many vets would call that an immature plant

I have gotten revegged plants to return to paired nodes, but this can't mean i have un-matured the plant. Sex organs are the only real sign of sexual maturity.
