Many years ago, I was asked by newbies how to sex their plants. So here it is again.
All plants will pre sex around 6 - 10 weeks from seed. Since I grow indicas, mine pre sex closer to 6 weeks. But all plants will pre sex. One just needs to allow them to grow out and look for their signs.
Below are several pictures of each stage, both male and female.
A male plant will send out what looks like a round spear shape. At around 7 days, it will turn into a noticable ball shape. Just before the ball shape forms, the caylex will open wide allowing the male flower to firm.
A female plant will send out what looks like a spear shape, long and slender. At around 7 days, it will become a very obvious spear. At around 10 -14 days, the hairs will start to poke out. the caylex on female flowers do not open wide, they remain tight against the flower.
Picture 1 = Aurora Indica male.
Picture 2 - 4 = male pre flower.
Picture 5 - 9 = female pre flowers.
