Is this a male? Please help

I have a small first grow going and have recently switched to 12/12 to start flowering. 6/7 plants are female, the last plant I am having trouble telling. I would like to seperate it from the rest but don’t have another light to keep it going just to make sure. I will attach a few photos photos of it. Hopefully you more experienced growers will be able to tell!

the shot between your thumb maybe , I would let it go a bit longer

how old is the plant?

and it is not like a male flower is problem until there is pollen so giving your

plant a bit of time never hurts

all the best and grow well

@esskayy welcome to the community… as for your plant. I do see what looks like it could be a pollen sack. But i also heard from an old school grower that when those little pistils cross it is an indication of female. So my opinion, you have time before a male would really be a issue. As long as you remove it before pollen sacks burst. So i would give it a few days… if you don’t see any hairs being produced. Ditch it.

Good luck
Good growing.

I’m gonna say male, but also give it time.

take a close up shot right between the stipules, watching for a hairlike pistil to emerge in the next day or 2. No hair, she’s a dude.

Couple of things, since this is your first grow,

6/7 for reg seeds is like a jackpot. Just curious what seeds you used?
The internode spacing is pretty long. If you just switched to flower, you are entering the stretch soon. Have you got room for tall plants? If not, take a shot of the whole growspace and tell us what lights you have and maybe we can help you steer the size and shape of the plant (called morphology) or assist with training and bending to get you the canopy you are looking for?

Congrats on doing so well on your first try! You are a natural at this.

No Worries My Friend :slight_smile: you will be a great member here I have a feeling :wink:

I found it nice posting with you, you post in complete sentences, use punctuation

you appear to a knowledgeable grower willing to share your experiences of

growing The Weed

without acting as if it is splitting the atom, the plant is not hard to grow if you do not

love it to death

what is hard is growing any plant inside

I just took down 4800+ watts of HIDs because I knew if I left them up I would be using

them if working with LEDs because a struggle

it is all about learning and sharing what you have learn, what work and what

did not

My two cent :slight_smile: but it is great to have another grower here please start a grow thread

all the best and be safe

Sorry I didn’t write back soon I’m away for work for a few days. I got seeds from herbies seed bank, they are feminized Godzilla glue #4. I will be able to have another look in a day and a half and remove it if it is a male or germ. Fingers crossed it isn’t. Grow space is 200cm high, 100cm by 100cm wide. I will attach a pic of the plant im worried about and I will be getting a few cables this week so I can raise the light higher, I still have a bit of room to raise it higher but just need some shorter hanging wires.
