have you ever studied genetics of a plant? I am not saying to chop it with out knowing but if you start from seed, normally your tallest plants are going to be males. I don't want to be rude but it is nature, they have to be taller to make sure they spread the pollen. :peace:

looking male, but i had one like that... i took 4 days longer to show sex in flower than any other, and it had tiny male looking balls... one day i walk in to the room and see white hairs comin out of those little balls... SUCCESS!! all im saying, is be sure... males wont pollinate for a couple weeks after they have made their sex visually known.... You have time to let it mature, then chop it if its male/ Be patient, and GOOD LUCK!!!

What about bushest? I have a plant that is bushy and has been my best grower. I am waiting for all my kids to show me their sex. I really hope that one is not a boy! I am waiting and I just started flowering. So I have like 10 days at least before I will know.

So if they are big they are boys??

This is my first grow so sorry for the dumb questions:confused:.

I'm no professional grower, but I can read. My plant that was growing the fastest and was spaced out at the nodes turned out to be male. :(

From all the research I've been doing, males do take on those traits.

It's not a guarantee, but can give you a good idea of what to maybe expect.

Check around the 7th or 8th node. You should see something there. If it's a male, you will most likely see sex first.

They don't typically show sex until first to third week into flower.

I just checked out the nodes on them. One of the taller, skinner ones has spaced out nodes. Now I am pretty sure It's a boy. I will wait until it grows a pair to be sure. :peace:
