Help identify sex of plants!!!

[Brittney]

Can someone please help me tell if these plants are male or female! The first two are one plant. The second two are one plant. I'm not sure how to really tell the difference! First time!

First 2 male. Second 2 female.

[Brittney]

I was hoping it wasn't male. How do you tell ? I know they have pollen sacs, but at the same time, the top looks like a bud!

When females first start to flower it looks like tiny strings growing out where males have small sacs

[Korn]

I have attached a pdf that has good basic info for you. See section on sexing plants. See pages 11-15. OCHMMASTER 2.pdf

You should probably get rid of that first one pretty quickly, if it releases some pollen it will really screw up your female.

Yep remove the males as Texasbob said. It will seed your female dang males LOL

[Brittney]

I removed it and dried it for tea! Can anyone tell me, if my female plant is root bound, but already in the flowering stage, what should I do?? Everything I read says not to transfer because it could stop the flowering process

[Korn]

It’s hard to tell without seeing a picture of the entire plant and the container it is growing in.

[Brittney]

I uploaded a pic for you to see. The plants not in the best shape. But this was my first try so I'm not worried. I just want to do it correctly for round 2!

When I took the male out, and took it out of the pot, I saw it was root bound. So that makes me think this one is too. And that's probably part of the reason it's not doing the best.

[Texasbob]

Yeah, I grow in a minimum of 3gallon pots. In a 3 gallon pots I veg less than 7 weeks because unfortunately the roots issues start popping up in mid flowering.

Here are a couple of plants that were sexed around 16 days after germination.

Also, male plants tend to "flower" early- about 2 weeks before the female.

Thank you! Female just started flowering. But I'm scared if I transfer her to a bigger pot she won't make it!

[SoOrbudgal]

Well it's not ideal during this time in flower but it is done by many folks who've had never grown MJ. Either transplant now into at least 3gal pot or smoke a bowl cause that's all you'll get from this plant if she can finish.
