Is one of these plants a male?

I bought these seeds from a reputable site. They are supposed to be autoflowering Skunk. I planted them at the same time. One is getting little buds, and the other is not. Do I have a male here that I need to get rid of?



Close up pics of the plant’s nodes are necessary to determine sex. One plant is clearly female. It’s hard to determine the sex of the other without those pics.

Your plants will benefit greatly from more intense lighting.

Thank you. I have an LED light on them, but I guess it’s not enough. This is only my second grow. The first grow was outdoors, and I didn’t need to worry about light. Here are pics of the nodes. Some look like they are beginning to bud, but then the next day those little feathers are just leaves. I pruned it recently, but it looks like I should have pruned it sooner.
Thanks for taking a look.

The 1st pic is female. The 2nd is not mature enough to tell yet.

Good lighting and good basics will produce plants like this. We can help you achieve it, but it requires some investment.

That looks amazing! Tell me where to look up info to get those results. I am currently using nutrients for growing cannabis, again from a reputable company, but I am not getting those results.

If you are just growing 2 plants in a random area, then shoot for a minimum of 200 watts per plant (the pictured plant was illuminated with 400 watts.) Watts matter and must be from quality diodes for the best results. Insist on lighting built with Samsung LM301 diodes. HLG, AC Infinity, and Spider Farmer all offer good products.

You’ll need pH and PPM meters to manage your soil environment (details in the above link.) Bluelab and Apera both make great meters.

Thanks for the help. I’m interested to learn how to get great results. I’ll definitely get a new light immediately and start reading the Bible.
Thanks again!!!

Get @MidwestGuy approval before ordering the light.
