Determining SEX Trick

I am about half blind, (old age) and I have a difficult time determining sex by "pre-flowers", although I have dozens of books with pics to help me or show me. I just can't see it that good.

An old outdoor grower taught me this trick.

I take a dark garbage bag, and make a sleeve, cutting it the size of a shirt sleeve but smaller, I use scotch tape to seal the edges and the one end. I make it DOUBLE Thickness. I put that sleeve over one of the larger branches, at about 4 weeks of VEGGING, and let that one branch be on 12/12. Every 12 hours I take and leave the sleeve off, and then I put it back on for 12 hours. Just that one branch thinks it is on 12/12 and that one branch begins to flower, showing sex within almost a week. Then I know!

It really works too. Try it.

by throwing one branch into 12/12 with the garbage bag, does that stunt, increase of effect the growth of the rest of plant and if so how and for how long?

The remainder parts of the plant continue to thrive, and grow. I didn't beleive this until I tried it, so I understand if anyone argues or challenges it.

YES, if the branch is big enough to make a flower, it will, after being int he 12/12 DARK-LIGHT for about a week.

Roseman is completely correct....it will work..... simple and easy, if you are in a hurry. I don't throw away my males so I wouldn't be bothered to do it myself, but if you are going to toss them.....then Rosemans way will save time and you won't wake up to a pollen surprise if you are growing so many that one may slip by you.

Nice post +rep


out. :blsmoke:

how loose is your sleeve? do you tie/tape both ends tight to the stem?

font size increased for old farts... (nothing but respect intended)
