RE: Attention Growers: Week 4 And I'm Getting Ready To Cull
Wait
because those are not pre-flowers. Females will spit out white hairs, males will grow a ball on a stem, like a grape or berry. ;)
You also have some time. It usually takes a few days to a week, before male flowers open and begin dropping pollen. ;)
Oh, thanks so much for weighing in here. I greatly value your opinion. Here's a picture of its mate (also Apollo 13):
What do you think of this one? (I also thought it was a pollen sack.)
This one is looking like its more male but I'd wait. it will stilll be a while before it will actually drop pollen if it is a male.
Thank you for having a look and sharing your opinion @greengrowgringo!
Anytime. I can't wait to see how your crop turns out.
Possible Male Alert
Ok, this one actually looks more like a pollen sack, yes. See how it's already growing a stem and doesn't have the longer/fluffier top? Yeah, highly suspect. ;)
Don't pluck those just yet. Heres a pic of some Female Super silver haze I have growing with the same thing. I'm not sure what thats called but it could be a female.
these are 'indeterminate' pre-flowers
these look like female flowers with no hairs.
fully male pre-flowers with be a ball on a thin stem.
I have had these suddenly grow hairs and finish deciding they're female
The sex of a cannabis plant isn't absolute genetically, only a predisposition to be female or male.
but given the proper (or improper) conditions and any female can flip sex and pollinate herself.
Same could theoretically happen to males but I dont know if anybody has ever seen this.
I;ve only kept males around long enough to gather pollen, then they get pulled.
Didn't keep them around long enough to see them flip.
