Sex identification

Sex Education cannabis style 101, this is what we are going to be talking about. Ever wonder why your cannabis ends up looking like a big mac on the time of harvest? I mean all of those seeds you don’t want on your buds? Do you know that if your buds have seeds, they make the buds less potent and give a lower satisfactory taste on the harvest? We really don’t want to happen to your precious produce right? You ask yourself on why this phenomenon happens, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure things out. This is how nature works, your cannabis is pollinating. In other words they are breeding; in order to breed you must have a female and male plant, just like humans. Obviously, they don’t mate the same way as we do, anyhow pollinating leaves the plants with SEEDS. And lots of them, we don’t want that. So the thing were going to do first is to identify which plant is which.’

Before we go to how to indentify sex from your plants, you need to know that when a male is kept on the grow room it will eventually release thousands of pollen which then flirts over with the female plant and pollinates so when you see a male plant, rip them dry from your produce. Anyhow, let’s get moving on how to tell a male and female plant from each other. Telling a cannabis female plant from a male one could be very tricky for cannabis growing newbies. It is very important to get a hang of this method as early as humanly possible. Unless you’re planning to make new strands, then go ahead and let them make love. But if your not don’t let them be together.

If you’re not creating new strands of cannabis, then it is not logical nor a reason for male plants to even stay longer on a grow room as they are supposed to be. In fact having a male cannabis plant in your precious grow room does way more harm than good for your crops. Okay so let’s start with the ladies. Clusters of flowers or we call them buds, or clusters of buds only occur in hermaphrodite plants, this “herms” are plants that are capable to have both sexes. They are part male and part female. Young female cannabis flowers would look like furry small hairs that are usually white and sometimes with other colours.

Male flowers or buds would look like miniature bananas, green miniature bananas. They would be located on the leaf joints of your plants. Another fact about this although it is better to have female plants, they could also change into herms when not treated very well. Female plants would turn into herms and produce seeds. Why? This is caused if the plants are stressed out or you may have put in some bad chemicals to trigger this defence mechanism. It’s a defence mechanism because if your plant is under stress meaning it’s dying, so before it eventually die it would want to produce first before dying, thus turning itself into a herm and eventually breed within itself. We wouldn’t want that again for that brings us seeds. Seeds are made for burgers not buds.

This could be really the opposite if you want to produce seeds as I mentioned earlier, always separate female and male cannabis from each other, this ain’t co-ed dorm. So as soon as their sex is determined make sure to either kill the males, or make a different room for them.
