How To Spot Female Cannabis Plants?
Knowing the difference between genders when growing cannabis is very important.
While some plants have the ability to grow both male and female seeds in one plant, cannabis, on the other hand, can grow males and females completely separate from each other.
Ultimately it has this ability because it is a dioecious plant. There are two main genders in marijuana plants which are male and female. These plants are different because they have different characteristics.
Something that the seeds have in common with humans is that you need both a male and a female seed to reproduce.
When does the genus of a cannabis plant appears?
The gender of the cannabis plant becomes visible from about week 4 of the growth phase. However, this depends on the strain species. Some species show their genus only from day 10 of the flowering phase. It is therefore important to be extra alert during this period. In order to remove any male plants in time.
How to see the genus of a cannabis plant?
Determining the gender with the eye is a bit difficult sometimes, but using a magnifying glass will reveal it.
If what you’ve got is a handful of seeds, it’s pretty much impossible to tell which ones are male or female. The only way true way to tell the plant’s gender is to plant some seeds, then wait. After a period of several weeks, it will begin to pre-flower, or form a small bud in the crux of a branch. One of the first signs your cannabis plant is female is the appearance of pistillates that are wispy and generally white in color.
Female plants take a bit longer than males to show signs of gender after flowering. The plants begin to develop a few wispy white hairs where the buds will soon grow. These flowers begin to form between the stalk and stem. Female pistils are always white (never green).
Male plants literally have grape-sized “balls” of pollen. The balls will show up about a week or two after the plant has entered the flowering stage. They also produce a growth that is a distinct yellow colour and look a bit like bananas.
How to get more female plants from regular seeds?
GIVE SEEDLINGS LESS HOURS OF LIGHT
In the rush to get buds in the jar sooner, it is always tempting to expose plants to 24hrs of light during the vegetation cycle. The plants may grow larger sooner, but this increases the risks of males developing.
Young plants exposed to an 18-6 day-night photoperiod increases the chance of females. The chance increases further when the day length is reduced to 16 hours. To maximize the possibility, reduce the day period to 14.5 hours of light.
