This is my first year growing. Some friends gave me these three as babies. I've been growing them outdoor, in 3 gallon pots on my deck, next to my tomatoes and cucumbers. They look healthy and have been given a lot of love. My cat gets to them occasionally and chews on some of the lower leaves, but over all they seem to be growing very happily. I'm in the Northeast and this all newly legal for us here. From what I've read and researched, we should be just getting into the beginnings of flowering now. They look female to me, but I wanted to get some expert opinions. Thanks in advance for the help and for being such a great community.
ok than i’m wrong, wait to you/we know for sure!! the pics are not the clearest when zooming up on number 2 and 3
maybe post pictures from above looking at the tops.
thanks @freezeland2 almost made a boo boo!
Thanks so far for the great advice. As per the request, here are some top shots of the 2 that are questionable. I think I see some flowering starting to happen on both of them.
Look at the connection of the leaf to the branch. There is a pointy green growth, about 1/4 inch long or so. Male or female preflowers will appear in between that and the stem first. The good ones will have two fluffy white hairs.
