all over that plant. I don't see any pistols. Males usually stretch a lot, and has usually 5 or less leafs being long and stretched apart. Also with all the stress you mentioned is the perfect way to herm a plant. When I need a male plant, I have a trick that works I would say 75% of the time. I take a clone from one of my girls that is flower for about 1-2 weeks after being switched to 12-12. Then take the clone and throw it back on a veg schedule to get it to go back to veg. And usually the stress between it trying to switch back to veg and it having no roots developed because it is a clipping still technically till it develops a root system. Make it go into survival mode, so it just switches up and becomes transgender or a full male. So yeah check for pistils, it should have some developed if it is a female at the size of plant it is.
I've gotten at least one seed from each of the female plants I've grown, so far.
Make sure you completely whipe and clean your whole setup after each harvest to minimize that from happening it could be from a previous plant. It really doesn't take much pollen to make seeds. I have a room for males, I use a q tip to cross with, and even then I will get seeds throughout a bud or two. I have to run those plants in a separate setup from my main flowering set ups. It all takes space, time and money. Ntm I don't grow for anyone but myself these days. I have a small group of people that I deal with in exchanging genetics and seeds. Our mission is to have our own strains not available to public, like back in the day when you would have to search for that special beautiful unicorn. We have been doing this for years, trying different variations of different crosses. Some of them we keep, but most are just stepping stones to get what we consider to be unique. Rn I have about four sets of seeds that I will continue to grow till I eventually r.i.p.
Should flower just fine. Keep us posted
That looks to me to be a female. Those fat leafs are called perennial leaves. She will form more leaves per stem the bigger she gets on the newer nodes. You can see she has some pistils already. Keep us posted
Another thing I found to help sex younger, the male leaves have a thicker main vein and a thicker stem per leaf. And usually they show balls fairly early, and usually have less leaves then a female. to me I can tell mine apart 90 percent of the time by the time they reach the third to fourth node. Are you going to grow the male out for pollen? If so what strain is it?Welcome to the farm! Here is what early male parts look like for comparison
