Cannabis plant sex determination methods
Thin white hairs are a sure sign that you have a female plant in front of you.
How to determine the sex of a young plant
What is the preflower (calyx) of cannabis? These are small versions of "adult" flowers that appear on plants while still in the vegetative stage. They can be identified as plants.
Typically, male cannabis plants are ready to flower at 3-4 weeks of age, females at 4-6 weeks of age.
Constant inspection of the plants is necessary to identify and remove male plants from the grow room as early as possible.
Only the female plants produce powerful buds, while the male plants produce pollen sacs.
In addition, it is very important to protect the female plants from any contact with the pollen of male plants in order to obtain a product of the highest quality, the so-called sinsemilla - a plant without seeds.
