so i attempted a hydro grow a couple years ago and won't get into to much detail about why i quit but i did great the first time and due to unforeseen circumstances my beautiful plants died a couple weeks before harvest. well im trying to do it right this time around and i have this one huge plant that im having trouble ripping out from all the time i spent growing it. i cant tell if its a male or female but im almost positive its a male . i dont think it'll let me post pics yet on this site but how long does it normally take for the pistil to pop out of the pre flowers ?

When early in their veg stage, males typically will show male 4-6 weeks in. Females will show their sex 6+ weeks in. Now, that is if the plant was meant to be male from seed. If you don’t show sex in the first 6 weeks, chances are she is a female.
But, that then leads you to hermaphrodite. And that is caused by stress. So if you have male parts beyond week6, it has hermaphrodited due to a stress from environment or other issues like pests or root rot. Basically any two major stresses at one time can and will push the plant to hermaphrodite.

You are beyond the early veg, so you are checking to see if she hermaphrodited on you.

If there is growth where calyx’s should be you can identify them very easily. Do not trick yourself into thinking that stick and ball is potentially a female, it is not. Males begin their showing at the lower parts of the plant first, typically, they will grow oddly on the side more than the crevice of the node. And that would definitely tell you it is hermaphrodite. Stick and ball or a calyx looking growth that looks like an opening flower blossom, male. Even if you have pistils coming out of a “calyx” that looks to be blossoming, it is still hermaphrodite.

Just be decisive and look up pictures and you seriously cannot miss a male/herm from a true female.

It is very obvious to be honest. It’s our disbelief that gets us questioning what we see.
