Female or male?Introduction:
The plant can adopt masculine, feminine or hermafrodita sex. The sex of the marijuana is very important, since only the females provide cogollos to us. The females will produce cogollos, rich in resin. If he is male, it will produce bags of polen to fertilize to the flowers of the females. The hermafroditas adopt sexes both simultaneously, so that they produce male and female flowers, of this form being able to autofecundar and to create seeds. The hermafroditas are not very common and is difficult that they appear.
He is vital to detect the males the sooner so that does not fertilize to the females with his polen and seeds make us lose a part of the harvest making. It is necessary to consider which they polen of a male can move hundreds of meters and until kilometers in favorable conditions of wind, therefore the only solution so that any female is not fertilized is the death of the male.
How is a female?
In order to detect a female, it will not be necessary to hope until the plant has cogollos. Before it plants it begins to make the cogollos, the plant gives to a signal showing to us its sex us. When it plants reach a handspan of altitude approximately, it depends much, we will be able to observe in the intersections of the main stem with the two ramifications “estigmas” of green color that will have left for a long time, because between the stem and each estigma is where it will appear the first indication of the sex of our plant. If in that zone they appear two pelillos of white color or even red, that leave an extended bag green our plant will be with total security a female. From there and more ahead they will leave the cogollos, that will be accumulations of these pelillos with their covered resin bags.
How is a male?
If in the same intersection, which I have detailed in the previous section, they appear a few small balls, that they will be growing and grouping itself in clusters as if a grapevine was, then our plant will be a male.
We are not due to hurry too much in detecting the males and killing them, since at the outset we can be confused easily if the flower is very small. In addition, where first we will be able to distinguish sex is in the highest part of the plant, that is where it is developed plus the plant and in where leave the first indications. The disadvantage is in which in that zone everything is very small and very is jammed so that it is difficult to appreciate it with clarity. We will have then to hope to that the plant grows a little more.
