Long time lurker in this site and grateful for all the information. Bought seeds for the first time and started growing. I am not experienced other than reading a lot of info. Worried that I have a male intruder in my tent. Just looking for some opinions on this plant. Thankful for any information you all can provide. Is this male or female? Thanks again and sorry if this is in the wrong thread/ category.

In the future you want to buy feminized seeds from a reputable seed bank such as Zamnesia or Seedsman. This will provide you with the best strain of female plants. Start out slow and if I could make one other recommendation go with hydro it is more than likely where you will end up after dealing with all the bugs soil will have. Happy trails….

Really dont think ya need to purchase female seeds. I solid core group around here grow out more than needed and cule the males. You can always separate an amazing male, then pollinate your best female. Seeds for years, options are then limitless. Keep posting, make friends, share your seeds with people on the Farm

Hey Space82, this is my Sweet Cheese from Seedsman! 3 months into grow! 6weeks into full flower! In hydro, so I would never send anyone, especially a newbie to someone I did not have success with, “bro”!

I'm glad YOU had great luck .
However, multiple guys I know well and me, have had horrible luck...if they even showed up.
I use banks or breeders that many ppl use. Seedsman is on the list of flops . It's been terrible for us.
As stated, I'm excited you got your $$ worth....I can't believe that 1) u got the seeds.
2) they popped and 3) they're actually the strain you ordered.

Beautiful grow.

Absolutely. These have always been Great
Can't believe I forgot to mention Barney.
I've never ordered FROM them, but have by proxy ended up with some NL and some Blue Dream that were really easy and fun.
Yeah Barneys Farm is legit AF.

As a new grower I went with a mass market 20 for 149 bucks provider called ILGM
I knew that genetics was a choice to make but $7 a seed is where I am at AS A NEW GROWER.
Look I get it genetics means stuff but I have also seen a fair number of these seeds are finicky little bitches that demand perfect attention.
I am not there yet and most new growers are not going to be there on the jump. Let us work with our hempy femed bag seed until we get this down.
Then we can try some fire genetics.

That would not be my personal preference or perspective.
If you want the process down...like the stages, the nutes, ppm TDS PPFD RH , harvest dry n trim n cure the right way, always use a good line of genetics. The nutes can fry a Herbie bag seed. ILGM has a so so rate I love their forum, I would not buy the genetics.
Learning to grow starts with a seeds that is worth the effort and money you WILL pour into a grow

Nothing wrong with making seeds, even accidentally. When I first started smoking 99% of all smoke was seeded and the stuff that wasn't we sure wished it had a seed or 3.

Finish your grow, hang dry and cure your buds and save those seeds

I am starting to regret "culling" out my Granddaddy Purple male plant. (just a little). The female turned out so nicely its a shame to not have any seeds for the future.

The process is simple.much more simple than some want to to be. I use a makeup brush to dust the entire branch I want fertilized. I cover the branch with a cone( dog cog) then make sure you wash the tree with water to keep all other bud sites from making seeds.
I just made what I call (Blam Ya OG)
Gorilla Cookies x Pink Runtz
Using Gorilla Cookies x Royal Runtz this time for( Velvet Birthday Skibblez )
Have not grown any of my seeds yet. I'm finishing up all my seeds first.
