I started 7 plants all of which are in the same hydro system and 4 seem to be bigger and 3 seem smaller. Can this be an indication of male or female or do i need to wait unitl the flowering stage to determin sex?

ok, thanks for the input...i just thought it was kind of weird that i have all 7 plants in the same hydro system and they are all sharing the same nutes and the same light but 4 seem to be doing the same and the other 3 seem to be doing the same but i guess thats just how it is...no big deal i just thought i would ask.

my general experience shows a little to non relation between size and gender

but I tend to think males are a little bit quicker growing

thou grow rate depends on too many things to be able to tell for sure

you might have started them the same time, but that doesn't mean they will have equal grow rate

anyway .... you should be judging about gender taking something so irrelevant as growth speed

I'm growing 5 plants from feminized seed and they are of various sizes. 3 are about the same, one is noticeably bigger than those 3. The fifth one is the smallest of the bunch and about half the size of the tallest. My point is obviously that size/sex really has no bearing considering all of my plants are female.

You know what? Maybe its just a coincidence, but on my current grow 4 of my six plants were male, and each one of them was far superior to my females. Tighter node placement, taller, and bushier.

well i just thought i would ask everyone to see if there could be some relation between the size and growth rate of male and female plants. i am glad you have some input on this and maybe it is a coincidence but on the other hand it would be nice if this holds true because then we can know ahead of time what we are growing.

thanks for the input!
