For Sure Female?

So my Cherry Pie is finally showing multiple sets of pistils. She has been in flower since 12/29 at 1 a.m. est. So 12 days exactly at the time of the pictures taken 1 a.m. est today. She is a pretty large bush. I took the tape measure to her tonight. 39 inches wide, 37 inches deep and 20 inches tall. I lost count and got confused at around 30 exposed bud sites. I'm really hoping she's all girl and doesn't have both parts. LoL I've seen no sacs any where I've been checking meticulously. Shes like a miracle baby she came from bag seed, her 3 siblings did not make the initial journey. So her being female would be awesome. Especially for my first grow. She was my practice plant.

So my question is, is there a point when you can say female for sure.

not sure if hydro is different to outdoor ... doubt it ... but outdoors male flowers can show quite late. maybe 3/4 of the way thru the grow. this is not the

end of the world if the male flowers are spotted in time. the result might just be a few seeds scattered among your buds. but if you don't spot them ...

then too bad. seeds created this way are likely to make plants that sex-alter and so are not much use to the serious grower. in my opinion your

question cannot be answered definitively! just keep yr eyes peeled! cheers ...

She looks like a hot little number to me. Telling from what I can see in the pics you provided, I see some true pistils forming. It's common for the stipules and even a young Calyx to be confused with a forming pollen sac. But in this case, you may have yourself a lady. However, keep checking up on her every day.... just in case lol. Just my 2 cents. Nice-looking plant btw. :cool:
 
Urbz, she looks super-healthy and happy!! Why are you concerned about her being a hermie? If your light is on a tight schedule and you're not stressing her, she should be fine!!
 
She has just shown some strange growth patterns. Kind of been growing like she's been a mix of both. After using the pre sex guide here on gwe some of her traits pointed to female some of them to male. And it's random bagseed so i didnt have a single inclination what she was going to be til like 3 days ago.
 
Thank you my friend. That's what level I'm at I saw the real first pistils and I was getting excited.
 
What growth patterns? If she has a lot of sativa in her, she's gonna stretch... That's just their nature.
 
The article talks about spacing between the nodes some branches they stepped pretty far apart some of them the nodes are on top of each other. All under the same light height. Stipules also some of them cross and most of them cross on the farther space node branches. But it seems like the nodes that are stacked the stipules don't cross.
 
I think most of it is first time Growers jitters. Plus this plant had a rough start to her life. She was moved 4 times before she finally got set in her final environment. And I did the Epic first time Growers mistake and drowned her probably the first three weeks of her life. She is easily 5 times bigger in size at just over a month since joining the site and getting help with her.
 
Haha, more like Grower's love and it looks like she loved you back!! A couple of survivors! It is amazing what our plants go thru at times, and still give us excellent buds.
 
Yeah she was put through the ringer. Any love she intends to return this way will be welcomed with open arms (or cleaned glass). I just want to enjoy tasting her fruits of my labor. lol
 
Here's how I see it UrbZ: I get emotionally attached to my plants, and everything they do is pretty miraculous to me. And when they bounce back from rough times and reward us with sticky buds and fabulous medicine, it's just... an amazing thing. Cannabis and humans evolved together, kinda like humans and dogs did. We need and we love each other. She's loving you now with her growth, so thank her for being so good. I swear, I often tear up looking at my plants grow... But that's prolly ok for me cuz I'm a girl... They just amaze me...
 
Communication too guys. Gotta keep the communications going with your plant/s lol. My current Blue Dream baby girl loves it when I talk to her and such.....at least I think she does haha.
 
@alltatup

I can see myself being the same way actually. I dont have any kids of my own and I'm about to the point in life where it probably wont happen. So they will be my babies and recieve all my love and affection that I have. I'm already to the point where I don't want to chop her because of everything into her. Plus shes my first.
 
Very interesting read UrbZ. I also found that short periods of soft classical music playing in the background seems to also be a favorite of plants. Just don't blast the speed metal too close to them though lol.
 
Yes everything we do to not stress them out metal probably wouldn't help. All I can picture now is a bunch of seedlings banging their top nodes. And it does seem like playing some soft jazz or classical to ease the ambiance would help
 
Pretty plant Urbz, my RedPoison plant likes to listen NeilYoung an CrazyHorse, Psychedelic Pill at full volume. lol.
 
Thank you sir. If it wasnt for you and a few other nice folks she wouldn't be where she is. You few got me on track. I just wish I could find a way to get you a fat nug when shes ready. A little compensation. 🤓
