Female or just more leaves

Hey guys, new to this… First time grower long time smoker. We’re about 4 weeks in, the wife clipped off some leaves for better air/light. I noticed these things and wondered if its still too early to tell.

If you don’t have a growlog please answer these questions.
What strain are you growing? I don’t know :frowning: probably dreadhead og

Is it Auto, Fem or Reg? Reg

Are you growing Indoor or outdoor? Indoor

Are you using nutrients? Which ones? How much? Honestly not sure at this point. The wife takes care of that department.
I’ll add pictures as soon as I figure it out…
edit: yea i cant add pics :frowning:

You can do it on desktop. The app is not that functional.

Too early to tell

U think it’s growing slow for 4 weeks of bagseed regs?

A little. I would not be taking off fan leaves. They are needed to produce sugars via photosynthesis. Just let the plant grow.

Too early. It doesn’t look bad for 4 weeks from seed, especially considering it’s bagseed. My plants aren’t usually much bigger in height by this time but they are bushier.

It looks 6-8" tall so just stop trimming it and let it grow out for a bit :slight_smile:

What you’re looking for in a female are little white whispy hairs protruding from those same areas you showed us in your pics. Commonly referred to as pistils… They are actually called stigmas and they are what catches pollen for reproduction. The ā€œpistilā€ refers to all reproductive parts.

I have a plant that just entered flower and is showing what you’re looking for. I’ll snap a pic when I get home and post it here.

edit: here’s the picture…

note: I wish I took a photo last week when they were first developing. It showed the small bract with 2 hairs sticking out
at the node perfectly but hopefully this still helps!

Welcome to the community @VonNnoV

I got a photo for you @ImpaLa604 this was when I noticed it was flowering day number 1, this is the very first sign of a female beginning to flower. Gotta zoom in a little at the nodes

Well I have 5 plants and either I’m blind or can’t tell… one thing I did find out is that I might not be providing enough light. One: because my lights are 200w and two: i have em on a 16/8.
But I think I see a ball im one of em and im scarred for em.
2 pics of the couldbe pollen sac and 1 of just how much they’ve grown. They are in week 4-5

rred for my others.

Another plant… is this what im looking for?

And another plant… am I supposed to be looking at the top circle or bottom circle?

@VonNnoV Normally you’ll see first signs at the top and second node from the top (both areas you circled) they are still pretty young though I don’t think I saw the first sign of preflower until 5 weeks or so once they were considered adults and ready to flip to flower. I do see a tear drop shaped growth in the picture with one circle and the question mark, on the left side where the fan leaf meets the stalk. Just keep givin them love and time and they will show you their gender soon, they look good though bro

Thanks! U think I should switch them to 18/6 or keep em at 16/8

I personally think they would benefit from the extra 2 hours of light per day if you transition to 18/6 @VonNnoV
