HELP Do males show sex before females or therway around?

KKingKobra · Jan 9, 2009

Ok, so I grew two plants from bagseed and about 12 days ago I switched to 12/12, and one of the plants was a male and showed its sex after about 5 days, and is now about double the size of the other plant. The other plant has not shown it sex at all yet. I was wondering, does males show sex before females? Reason I am worried is because if they both turn out to be male, I'm just going to let them keep growing, but if the smaller one is female I will kill the male. Problem is, the male is getting really big and getting alot of balls and looking like it will drop soon. And the reason I am keeping them even if they are male is because the only seeds I can get are bagseeds, which over the course of 6 months I have only come across 3 so far, and also because I will be moving in two months and don't want to start another grow till then. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

yes, males are known to show first. and tend to grow more dominant.

Great, that is good news, gives me hope that the other is a female because it is MUCH smaller than the definite male, just hope it shows its sex very soon.

You do know if you get two males your not going to get any seeds don't you ?

do you have any pics?

Yes, males usually show sex before the females, same as with humans I think ..... If you leave the male, and it pops flowers and pollen you will contaminate your grow area, so unless you want seeds you need to get it out now.

STILL hasn't showed anything, I'm wondering if it is my lights. I have my plants under a 4 ft shop light with 6500K spectrum flourescent lights. Do you think I need to switch to a 4200k or lower? The male plant had no problem showing its sex though, but its going on two weeks now and the other is showing nothing. And yes I do know the male plants are useless, its just that I can't bear to just kill it at this point because I'm been watching it grow for awhile and am attached to it.

Relax man, let them be, the longer the better. they should show within a week or 2.

As was said before, If you get 2 males, YOU CANT MAKE ANY SEEDS so if they are both male Cut them bitches and try again.

Good news, the small one finally showed the female hairs so I cut down the male.
