My crop, have questions

Moonwalk · Jul 14, 2015

My plants were started indoors and moved to a garden when sturdy. The six I planted in the good soil are about seven feet tall. One showed male and got yanked. I pulled one of the shorter ones yesterday for showing male too.
I'm going to try to post some photos, I can recognize the males when they are the "football on a stick", but I can't tell females from new growth.

However, I click upload a file, and the window that pops up and says "chose file" won't react, so I don't know how to get photos on here. Grrrrr.

Try again in a few minutes. I've had to do that before too.
So are you trying to ID females? Before the pistols show maturity?

I'm trying to pull the males of course. I'm going out of town for several weeks and having to leave my not-as-dedicated boyfriend to sex them. I'm trying to identify as many as I can. I have pulled two males so far (I have about 25+ plants), and tagged a few suspicious ones.

Adding photos.

On many of my plants, right in the "crotch" of the branches and trunks are small elongated bud things. I can't tell if they are female or just new growth leaves.

Another

Some of the plants. The really tall ones blend in the background, but there are 5 that are over 6-7' tall

The stems on several are turning a wine color, and the plants are growing like the weeds they are.

Moonwalk · Jul 14, 2015

My main question is, although only two males so far have shown, is there a way to discern female sex gland from a tiny new leaf, besides time?

Some of the plants are branched out, some aren't, but that hasn't helped so far...

I think when a plants stems turn red like that there's a problem. You might want to look that up before you leave.

Don't worry too much about the wine color. It may be normal for the plants specific strain. I have a pheno of GSC that turn burgundy and they are completely healthy.
The fat sack with a fury string coming out is female. They will swell up and look like male sometimes or hermies, but don't be too ancy and pull them. On males nothing comes out of the sack except pollen. The sacks you find on a female have pubes coming out of them.
Good looking plants, keep up the good work!

Doesn't show yet.

It takes a couple weeks usually for a male to release pollen from first showing sex so as long as he keeps a look out, they should be pretty obvious which ones are male by the time they are fully mature. The balls get more numerous and fatter like little clusters of grapes before they burst open and release pollen.

Yeah the key is waiting just a bit to make sure. I had a friend that would pull almost everything because he wouldn't wait till it fully formed. He still doesn't believe me but i know he pulled several females too.

Moonwalk · Jul 14, 2015

This is of the plant I pulled yesterday. It had several of these scattered about it, I don't pull until I'm sure. The balls were on stalks. It's hanging as I have a lot of plants, the leaves may go into butter.
