Male Looking Cutting From Female Mother??

These are the first cuttings that were taken from the mother plant which was thought to be female.

Is this cutting definitely a male?
(Pic 1, 2, 3)

The mother is a few months old and has shown only female signs in its growth. Could the cutting have been pollinated by a male plant from outside and those pods be the seeds growing?

This is the mother plant.

Did you preflower the mother to make sure it was female? If you didnt, then what you've done is cloned a male, and fucked right up. !

Pics 1,2 &3 look male to me.

It's my mate plant and he reckon he changed the lighting and started to notice the pistils more so he turned it back. He had a few seedlings and the others turned out to be male so he kept this one.

There's nothing else it could be is there? It pretty much has to be a male mother plant doesn't it?

you my friend have cloned a male
it was always male from day one

da mada
is a
fada

the *mother* isnt even showing preflowers yet man. their was no reason to believe it was female or male yet. the *mother* is a boy......the cutting proved it was male. kill em both

What are preflowers?

What are preflowers?



Preflowers, as opposed to full blown flowers, generally appear after the fourth week of vegetative growth from seed. Check carefully above the fourth node. Please note that preflowers are very small and and almost impossible to differentiate without magnification. A photographer's 10x loupe is handy indeed when examining preflowers.

As the images below demonstrate, the female preflower is pear shaped and produces a pair of pistils. Frequently, the female preflowers do not show pistils until well after the preflowers have emerged. Thus, don't yank a plant because it has no pistils. Pistillate preflowers are located at the node between the stipule and emerging branch.

Also, some female preflowers never produce pistils. A female preflower without pistils is difficult to distinguish from a male preflower. Thus, hermaphodite issues should not be resolved by the appearance of preflowers, without pistils, on a plant otherwise believed to be a female.

The male preflower may be described as a "ball on a stick." However, its most recognizable feature is its absence of pistils. Sometimes, a male plant will develop mature staminate flowers after prolonged periods of vegetative growth. These appear in clusters around the nodes.

The following image shows a male plant in early flowering. Staminate flowers are located at the node between the stipule and emerging branch.
