I'm certain they are females haha, ive Looked at every possible site on each plant. Some do look odd. But most are consistent. When I am able to I will definetly take better photos. The other photos are a bad angle and what some said was a stem is just a very light part of that growth lol. I'm 99.9 percent positive and time will only assure me of this haha.

Heh, takes me back! Was so worried about finding out their sex on my first go...got lucky with my mystery gifted seeds, they must have been feminized because all 10 I sprouted so far all turned out fems.

Give them a good little while and keep watching them. Male flowers develop faster as a they need to pollinate females early so the seeds can develop (ie not 8 weeks into flowering). But you'll have plenty of time to clearly identify a male before it pollinate, especially since you are checking them every day :)
And if you do have a male maybe consider letting them mate...?
With a male+fem you could make a seed crop and have a lot beans to play with. I also read this helps as seeds made in your garden will be "better suited" for it, and it makes sense though I haven't tried it yet.

But if you are dead set on just growing females or don't have any, I can look into the feasibility of sending you some :)

Cheers!
Thanks max always appreciate when you stop in. I would love to breed but my current space won't allow it. Definetly in the future :)

Yeah man, sometimes it's hard to tell. On my first few grows people told me they were male and they actually turned out to be female in some cases, though in most cases they turned out to be hermies!

I currently have some texada timeward in an old dresser that I'm breeding. I have schizophrenia and so I can't smoke thc bud (my mind gets real loud and obnoxious) but I got the seeds from a friend before I got my cbd seeds. So I'll just let those seed. I got a bunch of free high cbd seeds from a tour here "overgrow canada". This guy, dana larsen, was travelling across canada and giving out free seeds in the hopes that a lot of people would plant them freely and openly to gain momentum for legalization. I got nearly 200 friggen seeds! So I'm going to grow two or three of those after these seed to try and heal my stomach. I have terrible gastritis, and tried everything for the past three years under the sun to heal it. Still spend almost all day on the couch at this computer.

Sorry I hijacked your thread sorta lol. just sharing :mrgreen::peace:

Yeah it's is quite difficult trying to get a definite answer from early preflowers. But I have studied this plant for hours the past day, I see long pointed calyx not short round balls haha. Definetly will post a photo when the pistils arrive.Hopefully that herb will help out with your GI issues. It does much more for others so I don't see why not :blsmoke:

Ah nice, i was looking at stuff online too, but decided to stick with my cfls since I already had them. I'll be putting mine outside so the sun will beat anything i can buy anyways. So i read today that they want to legalize it here next spring, damn long time! so i guess i'm going to fork over some cash and get my medical license now.

too bad you got an hps, i was looking forward to comparing cfl results with you! oh well, still following your adventures lol

Noooo no hps yet haha I will probably finish with the cfls. They are suppose to legalize here in az soon to! Medical is allowed now. But recreational would be great. Med cards are definetly worth it imo.

Both plants are male bahaha such a great first grow. Fooled myself. Going to pick up some Bubba kush x Gorilla Glue #4 clones tomorrow. Fuck non fem seeds if you don't have the time or space. Great learning experience. Will probably listen a bit more now haha.

I'm only paying 15 bucks per clone for them. Not sure on discounts or size. This is being purchased from a local grower who I haven't talked to much so I'm not to sure. The herb these plants produce is top quality to.
