When using regular seeds (non-feminized) sometimes I will get a male plant. I will remove it and replace it with another seed and start growing that. As I do not want them, they will just make my female plants seedy if I keep it in there. And since I do not know which strains these are, and my limited amount of plants I can grow by law I will just kill off this plant. As I want four female plants, the max I can have by law at any point during the grow. All and all though its pretty apparent that is a male plant with the flowers forming on it.
Reminds me to check better when getting cannabis seeds to make sure they are feminized, otherwise there is a 50/50 change I will get a male plant. Growing clones can also avoid this issue, but seeds are readily available where I live.. not clones.
The male cannabis plants show their sex earlier than the females, so I hope this is the only male I have to deal with. But its always know for sure until I see the buds forming on the females when they switch over. Since some of these are autos they will switch on their own.. And one of them is a photoperoid which should change to flowering when I switch the lights and timing cycles.
So I will pull it up, and start a new seed. Hopefully the new one will catch up. I will make sure to add the rooting powder to give it a chance to catch up to the others.
It happens, just a part of growing cannabis with regular seeds.. I was expecting one or two just by how common it is.
The other three are doing great, one of them is too young to show its sex yet but the two others sure look like females to me.
Those two I topped are coming back now with new leaves and looking good.
The older one is growing a little faster than the younger one but pretty close to the same.
My male plant is on the bottom left hand side. From a far it just looks like the others. But when you get close you see its "balls"..lol
With it pulled out I compare it to my little hand shovel I use.
Looks like the roots were growing quite nicely. Comparing it to my old plants these roots grew out more to the sides vs the old ones growing straight down mostly. So I will toss out this seedling and start a new one.. hopefully it will be a female.. but you never know for sure.
One last thing, I wanted to show how cool it looks when I add sugar to my yeast bucket. It is really amazing how quickly the yeast reacts to the sugar and starts foaming right away producing lots of carbon dioxide for the plants. They really like the stuff as it helps them grow stronger and faster.

Good evening my brother
Maybe for the layman it is very difficult to distinguish between male and female plants, if you look at it briefly.
Hopefully your plants can grow well. Continue your great work, have a nice day my brother ♥️
That is true, they do look similar until you get up close.
thank you
You're welcome my brother, keep up the good work 💪
It's a pity that in Brazil the cultivation of marijuana is prohibited, you always bring some useful knowledge on the subject.
That is a shame, hope they legalize one day where you live.
thanks
I'm glad you detected this May plant in time and replaced it with another seed. I hope the seed grows quickly
Thank you very much for sharing this experienceHello dear friend @solominer
Thanks much, will do another update when I have some more progress.
Keep growing and growing well my favorite plants
I hope they do as well..
I love this plant my brother 😍
That's really interesting. I know almost nothing of botany or gardening, but it is really interesting.
What state do you live in that allows you to grow four of them? That's something that I don't think Japan will allow in my lifetime. But if I ever go back stateside, I don't think my home state Indiana will allow it anytime soon either.
I live in Virginia, its on the low side for sure but states above me like Maryland only allow 3 so I guess I am doing alright here.
Ah damn yeah, where I lived previously I had no hope for legalizing there so glad I am now in a state where it is allowed.
That's cool. My kids are small so I don't really want to mess with anything right now anyway; maybe by the time they are older and out of the house, rules will change. The US does seem on the path for it to be legal everywhere eventually. But... like I said, I have no hope for Japan. But who knows, maybe in the next generation attitudes could change.
That's some sugar added :3
hah yeah that yeast is very hungry
me encanta ver cultivos de cannabis, hace 5 años tuve la dicha de tener una planta de cannabis, la cultivo un amigo mas experto en el tema debido a la prohibición que hay en mi pais, nos fue muy bien, eran 3 plantas, una hibrida, una sativa y una indica, las semillas fueron traídas de España.
.
éxitos con tu planta
Oh cool you had a chance to grow it, quite the experience for sure.. oh that is cool you got your seeds from Spain. I get mine here in the US.
really enjoy the results of this marijuana plant growing faster, although there are female marijuana plants that are less fortunate. Hopefully by starting new seeds you will get satisfactory results. my brother @solominer
Thank you, I hope the new seed I started does well.. will do an update post when I have something to report.
You're welcome my brother, I will wait for it and I hope that it is fine👍
Waooo! Bro how well the plants are going 🌱 a few months ago I saw the transplant, they are going super the evolution @solominer what a good job 😉👌.
You know here in cuba 🇨🇺 is forbidden 🚫 you go prison nor the big plant producers, they have permission to plant cannabis. I congratulate you keep showing us the progress and have you tried it ????
Greetings and happy weekend bro 😊🙏🏻🪴
Yeah they are really growing a lot now. I have started to increase their watering to keep up with all their growth.
Ah that sucks, where I used to live it was like that.
Well from these plants I have no buds yet. But I did try some of my outdoor I grew last year and it was tasty.. has a menthol/mint flavor to it.
thanks man you too
Look at it, so cute and snall. Looks like a tomate plant. I don't know how humanity confused the forbidden fruit, I think this is the one they meant to say🍁.
Interesting farming 😂
Hehe yeah they are still quite small.. the biggest is just over a month old.
thanks
I love marijuana 😍
me too :-)
Wow! Glad to see how thorough you are in maintaining the quality and growth of your plants. Good luck!
Thank you, yep lots to maintain with these plants.
Wow, your marijuana plant has started to grow big, yes, I'm really very good and it has started to grow
Sure has.. every few days I can really see the difference.

STOPIt looks cool my friend, you found a male among some cannabis seeds that you planted, it turns out that there are male seeds in it, I just found out that male cannabis seeds are very influential for female cannabis seeds 😊
Ah yeah it is something that tends to happen when growing marijuana. But its okay, I was expecting it.
Hah yeah if I wanted to breed them, I would make use of the males.. but I do not have an interest in that right now.
I am also a farmer, but my knowledge is still very far behind my friend's agricultural knowledge 😄😄
But I really salute the way you farm, always find new things in agricultural science.
I saw cannabis plants grow in the wild as a child in Ukraine and thought that they just grow like weeds (no pun intended). Turns out there is a whole science if you want to grow them right!
Oh cool. I hear they do grow wild in many places around the world. Since I have only been in the US I have never seen anything like that besides in pictures.
Hah yeah if you grow them well they turn out a lot better than ones grown in the wild.
The process you are doing is a bit laborious. Can't you just dig some extra seedlings during the first planting and then kill the males when their gender becomes clear? Isn't this method legal?
Yeah its a lot of work. I can only have four plants at a time by law, that includes seedlings unfortunately.
This is me wishing you more of feminine seedlings so that you can get your desired female plants.
Ah thank you.. lets hope the next seed is a female.
They're such beautiful plants, my brother grew one 20 or so years ago, it never flowered and went very tree like, he moved to uni and we had to plant it in the wilds. I've had a few friends with grows and when they bud they look especially captivating, thank you :)
Oh cool.. well it was a unique experience none the less sounds like.
Sure do, I love seeing them bud.. I look at them every day when they do :-)
It was, it was known as the cheese plant when people came round as it resided in the lounge :p now a days we just enjoy the CBD rather than the HTC too :)
I hope your other three cannabinus plant will be female. Have a great day! 🍀
Ah thanks.. me too.
Hope you have a good day as well.

STOPMay I ask what is the difference between a female and a male plant? I am curious.
Female produces buds which contains the resin, while the male just makes flower with pollen.
Ah ok! Thanks for answering and getting me out of the doubt.

I really need this plant real bad for my knees. I got shocked when my doctor suggested it 'Cause it's illegal in my country even for medical purposes.
That is unfortunate, I hope you find the relief you need and maybe the laws will change one day where you live.
I hope that too 🥺
Sounds like a lot of effort goes into identifying and managing male plants, but it's great that you're so on top of it!
Yes there is a lot to it.. got to keep the temperature, humidity and other things in check.
It’s super rewarding in the end!💓
Your trees are very beautiful and you can take the right tree decision at the right time
I was going to ask how you can tell the difference between male and female plants, then I read this.. 🤣
That is pretty damn cool man!
Wow the cannabis plants are very fresh and growing slowly. So glad you got the male plants.
very interesting about the yeast and sugar. I want to learn more there. I think there is so much to learn about gardening from the care of the cannabis plant.
Wow this is really cool 👏
I didn't notice that I haven't voted for you as a witness already. To be honest, I thought I did already!!! Let me hurry and vote now
Stay blessed Sir 🙏
I have always known that we have both male and female plants but spotting the difference is the real deal.
You are doing an amazing job, well done.
