Chump's First

[dfw-guy]

You should take an updated pic today if you want us to give you a definitive answer, it should be a little more developed I think.

No. I have enough seeds.

I apologize for shooting from the hip before reading your journal carefully.

May your remaining four be all girls and reward you with much sticky ganja!

regards,

Here is the latest pic, from just a few minutes ago.
Still not quite looking like a bunch of green bananas, but I guess it might be male pre-flowers though?

 

[Ms. chump stain]

And the good news. Here's some pics of the rest. I have not seen any of the male features on these plants yet.

And the 2 little ones, next to the big one.

but I guess it might be male pre-flowers though?

That's my best guess too. The LST plant is coming along nicely, and the little ones seem to be dominated by your bigboy. I wouldn't kill the big plant yet though, It's not going to pollinate anything. Males mature faster than females so hopefully you'll see some female preflowers in a few days

 

[Ms. chump stain]

Here is a new pic, and from the side.

What do you think?....Male?

 

[dfw-guy]

Ya I believe it is. If I were you I'd keep him growing for a while to see how big it gets. But kill it before it starts flowering. Those are just preflowers correct?

I don't know. That's why I'm posting the pics, so somebody can tell me what's going on. But it's looking male to me, I think. I'll give it a couple days, but I think it's going in the fire pit. I want to at least smell him burn.

 

[Keith Lake]

I'm pretty sure it's male, but I also think it's best to wait until 100% obvious. This may be why people are holding back - still not undeniable but highly probable there's a BBQ in that plant's future. It's not going to hurt anything to wait a bit more at this stage.

Just my opinion

 

[Zenmaster]

they almost look like new shoots starting from the nodes it is possible to be a pod tho ide wait to see if they turn into leaves or pods tho. does it look like a completly closed in pod or is there tiny little leves on the end of it ?

 

[Ms.Fox]

^ Agreed. I'd wait just to make sure. ;-)

You're seeing what I'm seeing. They just look like little green specks of nothing with the naked eye. That last pic, is a macro shot zoomed in. I don't see any leaves. But yeah, I'm going to wait a few days and see how it shapes up.

Agreed 100%!!! I had two plants that were looking just like that so I pulled them.Started some new ones and had one looking exactly the same.I let it go to make sure and guess what?Turned out to be a girl.Ah well,live an learn eh?

 

[Ms. chump stain]

The second tallest plant (3rd oldest) is showing the same growths. I'll get pics tomorrow. If they really are males, that would be 2 out of 5 plants male. The 2 youngest plants might just be to young yet. We had a couple days of on and off rain, and they all love it! I think everyone grew 6" in 2 days!

 

[Ms. chump stain]

Kind of tricky with this balcony grow. I have neighbors on every side of me, but good thing is, it's pretty private for anything below 4 feet or so. So it wont bother me too much to scrap that big one, cause it draws a lot of attention. Already too many of my friends have seen it when they come over. It's impossible to hide! But this goes to show, that you can grow outdoors with minimal privacy, if you're smart about it. Now I got to get that perscription! It cost's a $150 I guess.

 

[Bud stankalot]

Regardless of what happens, those are very healthy looking!!

 

[Tunes420]

Looking good ya i had weird looking things that grew hair just recently now it is out doors growing and it is female...really surprized me...I would go with everyones advise and keep eye on it you might be surprised

Upper node

LST unknown sex planted approx. 5/10/09

2nd tallest, possibly male planted approx. 5/20/09

Upper node

2 youngest unknown sex, planted approx. 6/1/09

Yes, I'm going to wait a little longer to make sure of the males before scrapping them. I went on the web and looked at some mature male plants, just to see what they look like. And I think I need to wait a little while longer for sure.
They all love the rain we've been getting, they're growing so nicely!

 

[SouthernOnt]

mine are also loving the rain and even if it does become male at least you have learned to tell the difference

 

[SouthernOnt]

unfortunately the 2 suspected males appear to be males
