Male or Female?

[EkoGrower]

All,

I think I know the answer here but just to be sure..

I am growing outdoors an unknown strain, 12 weeks in and today I just noticed the formation of "flowers". Growing in Coco, starting at the 6th internode, top also appears to have the same appearance.

So male or female?

Male for sure! a very healthy one at that. cull it now or separate it for pollen collection.

 

[EkoGrower]

That is what I thought. Just wanted a second opinion .

I'm a newbie. This is one of 5 I have outside. It is the best looking and the biggest.

Thanks again!

Thats normally how it goes. In the cannabis world, male plants tend to grow more quickly (at least vertically) and mature the fastest. This is because of the way they reproduce, so that their pollen will "fall" onto the female flowers.

Male

You know you're a 420 nerd when you get excited @Jack420 liked your comment. You're a legend man, your work as helped me alot over the last 2 years or so.

*sorry to "Jack" your thread op

It shows bro. Just wanted to let you know that its appreciated by people you probably wouldnt even expect. That's the reason I joined. I can always learn more of course, but I've learned so much and gained a ton of confidence that I felt I needed to give back to new growers.
I'm also a huge proponent of home-growing and I have a passion against the coming onslaught of large corporations like RJ Reynolds and Monsanto muddying up the industry.

 

[Jack420]

Hells yeah

 

[Jack420]

I try to put back in also def helps a lot of ppl

I have definitely learned so much more here than YouTube, started growing last November, killed more than I grew, lol but retired and have nothing better to do than learn. On my 3rd grow with babies and 2nd just about ready to harvest, tired of auto's though but definitely a good learning experience.

 

[Jack420]

Older souls like the photos better I believe they hold more healing power that carry’s a punch lol

 

[TysonOG]

I've never gotten into autos. I'd like to but they're just too small for my current situation - draconian plant limits

 

[Jack420]

I’ve seen a few do really good if not better then photo genetics are now gettin somewhere

 

[TysonOG]

Yea, auto genetics are now on par with photo in quality but there's more variety in photo. They are constantly making autos out of new photo strains so that gap will close eventually. The big difference to me comes in yield. I like having the option to veg as much or as little as I like. With autos you're kinda stuck in a timeline.

 

[Jack420]

Agree totally
