I saw the posts about males having opposing nodes (growth directly across from each other) and females having alternating nodes (growth on on one side of the stalk/branch and the grow alternating from one side to the other).
My question is really two parts.
First how reliable is this indication of sex? I know all of my females clones have alternating nodes but never having grown from seed I have never had a male to look at.
Second, assuming that the alternating nodes is a reliable indication of being a female, how soon does this show up? How many sets of opposing nodes should I see before I decide it is a male and pull it?
If this arrangement of the nodes is reliable for sexing, it seems like you would see it long before seeing the flowers.
Thanks for your help. I owe more than I can ever repay to the members of these forums for sharing their knowledge with me.
Good smoking everyone.
