help with sexing

[crow]

Hi everyone,

 

I need help with sexing some plants - they have outgrown their 1L airpots and I only want to transplant keepers [female].  They are all the same strain [Mandala 8 Miles High].

 

 

There are 2 plants showing what appear to be calyxes but no pistils [1st and last pics] - can these still be male?  or am I safe to assume they're female.

 

And 2 that look to have male pre-flowers [2nd and 3rd pics].

 

 

I'd really appreciate if someone, with more experience than I, can confirm these for me.

They look to be like turning out to be girls.

imo boys in the middle, girls as the bookends or one girl one boy. won't take long to confirm though.

Heya crowsange cheers for the post   I'm not able to tell yet but am gonna follow - I'm not very proficient at early sexing and any practice helps.  I would lean toward caution and give them a bit longer as well, like mentioned. Are they really tied up in the pots or do you have a little time? 

 

My plants this time around have seemed pretty much straight forward M or F (I tipped them last week and one threw balls the next morn so it was an easy decision )  For a guess, I would probably go along with brick but like LGYN  (not these days bil ) says I wouldn't guess cos ...yeah   Oh! but my new specs arrive on the 27th

 

I think this topic would make a superb 'real time' reference for us pic dumping not-so-experienced growers doncha think?  Mind you I tend to learn faster after a f'k up or 2

 

Peace and good growing. f

Its pretty hard to be certain from the pics and early signs aren't always accurate but it looks like the second is a male while the rest are ladies

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.  I will give it another few days and hope for some more definite pre-flowers. 

 

Another good learning experience I guess - next time I'll use bigger pots for my seedlings.

Too early to tell imo. But the middle two do look like males in my experience.

Give em a lil longer.
