CBD Dragon Male (for pollen)

Zeven_Xero_Fyve . (filling retroactively) end of Week 1: Plant is doing healthy. vigorous growth and height.

Zeven_Xero_Fyve . (filling retroactively) End of Week 2: Growing incredibly well. Stem could use some thickening, but that should come with time. Side Note: It's a regular seed and could be a male at this point (especially given it's vigor), but a few days into week 3 I started getting bubble gum smell from top leaves, very faint but smelled exactly like Hubba Bubba "Bubble Tape" as I remember it, despite not having smelled or chewed that gum for decades 😋). Because Male plants don't typically start smelling so early, I'm leaning towards this being a female, but even if its not I'm still keeping as that smell brings years of childhood flooding back to me, and gives me shivers its so good. 😍😃

Zeven_Xero_Fyve . end of Week 3: "Bubblegum" is doing really well, quite vigorous and also super thirsty, despite me keeping the VPD in the 0.8-1.0 range. The leaves are thinner than average, more easily damaged, and they sometimes have a faint purple hue under the right light. The damage on the top leaf was due to me playing scratch n' sniff the other day to get a good whiff. oops 😐

Zeven_Xero_Fyve . End of Week 4 (day 28): Over the last few days it was starting to become apparent that Bubblegum might be a male, and today I was able to get a close enough look and I'm 99% sure those are pollen sacks forming. That being said, he's not getting chopped but instead will go to his own small tent to produce fresh pollen, much of the reason being the delicious bubblegum smell that started after 2.5 weeks. Had me fooled with that delicious bubblegum smell and shorter stature, along with early pre-flower looking more spade-shaped.

Zeven_Xero_Fyve . End of Week 5 (Day 35): I'll continue adding weeks to this diary as it might help someone in the future with spotting a male early. 😇👊🙏 I'm far from being good at sexing cannabis, but all indicators I'm aware of say Bubblegum is a male - e.g. Sepals and Anther being visible, simple plant structure with fewer leaves, lack of stigmas anywhere, stipules being apart and not crossed (like sitting with legs apart vs crossed), barely any "weed smell" after 4 or 5 weeks of growth, etc..
