@DoceePharms they are different plants. @Myfriendis410 I’ll keep an close eye on both for now. Be very curious how they develop. I thought having two hairs was always female unless the plant was hermaphrodite. I see two hairs on both of these and had concluded female. I actually was only wondering about the very last picture because it had defined balls and I saw hairs too. @MrPeat called it as straight male. These are 40 days since planting. My takeaway is that having hairs is not conclusive in early stages.
Thanks to you both. There is no substitute for experience.
“Spikes” versus “hairs”. Hmmm. Sounds like modern hairstyles. I’ll have to learn more terms from the cannabis growing world. “Girly hairs” and such I’ve run across.
“Stipules” I have read that along the way, now I’ve seen. Got it. In convo was led to believe that seeing them was sure sign of female. Thanks for confirming both sexes start out with them.
Interesting @myfriendis410. In the reading I’ve done (and now gone back to see what I missed) stipules are not addressed well enough. Ed Rosenthal’s classic and lauded Marijuana Growers Handbook doesn’t mention them in the flowering/sexing section. I have still to go back and check the ILGM beginners to confirm for myself. I think I would have remembered that stipules are not the sex organs. Oh well. I think more of my “ladies” are ultimately going to be trashed.
