Sexing Seeds

You have to wait for their sexes to show! It's still too early to say. You need to wait for her to start flowering, and then you'll see the sexes. Male cannabis plants, when flowering, develop small balls that, when they open to release pollen, will look like a sort of bunch of bananas. You should cut them as soon as you notice a male, because if the pollen touches the other plants, it will be too late and the females will be pollinated. No more than three weeks can pass between the appearance of these balls and their opening. Hermaphrodites are a type of plant that contains both male and female cannabis flowers, allowing for buds to form, while possibly showing other parts of the plant that are pollinated. The reasons for hermaphroditism can be natural or occur due to stress. Both male and female plants can experience this process. Thai genetics have a stronger tendency to become hermaphrodites. However, no variety is exempt from this risk. There are many stress factors that can come into play, such as introducing light during the dark cycle, excess or deficiencies in water and/or nutrients, infestations or diseases, watering with water that is too cold, etc. Even a simple transplant from one container to another could cause stress leading to this change. This type of plant is not ideal for cultivation, because even if they will be able to give you buds similar to the others, you run the risk of filling your grow with seeds. It is therefore recommended to remove them from the grow space, even if it means losing a small amount of bud in the end, to avoid the risk of your entire grow being overrun with seeds. During pre-flowering, female plants will start to develop at the nodes, small white and fluffy hairs called pistils. This is also where, finally, your first buds will form. Keep in mind that females generally express their sex a little later than males, and also that pistils are never green, so keep your eyes open. I hope this helps you, my friend! Good luck, and don't hesitate to look at photos on the internet.
