In-Depth Information
First Early Sexing Method:
If you have been growing the same strain and all the seeds at
the same time, then you may notice that some plants are taller than
others. This is a sign that the smaller plants are female and the taller
ones are male.
If you want too, you can separate your plants into two sections
in order to see how good your guesswork was when you do finally
identify sex. The other thing to know is that male plants in general
start to pre-flower before females. If you have taller plants that are
producing new growths before the smaller ones, then the taller plants
are probably male.
Second Early Sexing Method.
A good way to identify plant sex at early date is to look at the
calyx with the aid of a very fine magnifying glass. (See last page of
this topic for pre-flowering/calyx illustration)
If the calyx is raised on a small short stem then it is probably
a male. If the calyx is not raised on a small short stem then it is
probably a female.
