The cultivation of cannabis seeds comes from times when there were no feminized seeds. Growers should plant twice the plants needed to ensure 50% of female plants and thus have enough flowers the day of harvest. In growing regular seeds is very important to identify early lest polinizen males to females. No males detected early can be a mess harvest seed filling. A plant that has been pollinated produce less yields, less resin and lower quality flowers.
The detection of the sex of a marijuana plant is very simple. Let us explain step by step.
Once the seeds germinated and planted in the ground, we should wait a while until the plants show their sex. This time may vary from 3-5 weeks in addition to the size and evolution of the same. Plants such as cannabis reaching maturity need to show their sex and flourish, so the time between planting and sexing that variety is the need to reach maturity + a few more days (days that make it easier to detect).

There are several ways to detect if a plant is male or female:
1: For a plant that is in continuous growth process (18h/6h): Wait until the first show pistils.
2: For a plant that is in the process of flowering (12h/12h or outdoors in the beginning of flowering): Within the same range, the males always show sex before females (normal because in a reproductive process normal male fertile pollen must be available when the female is ready to be fertilized). The grower must be clever in the first weeks of flowering to clearly identify the males. Detection is simple: In each node of the plant could define three parts: The main trunk, the outbreak is born (which will form a new sub-branch) and the leaf. * Image explanatory right.
At the junction of these three points, the male produces a small "sting" that will slowly become a branch pendant with a "menacing balls". The female will show their sex showing their white pistils.
Do not be alarmed. Between the formation of commonly called eggs and pollen sacs opening may take several weeks, long enough to alarm anyone by inexperienced whatever. A common mistake by novice growers is cut prematurely females (thinking they were male). Under our humble opinion there is no need to rush, the difference between something and something herringbone pattern as razimo of grapes is such that none was ignored.
We recall that the range of the pollen can reach up to 30 km radius.For your grass and that of other growers: Cut the males!
