I still say male but I’d keep it around for another week. Nothings gonna happen until it flowers anyways. They dont really start dropping pollen until like week 3/4 of flower. The plant you have is just starting to show preflower which signifies the plant have reached sexual maturity. ---

Ok thanks I’ll do that it’s one of my best plants and I wanted to see how good this chocolate rain strain is I just might let it go if it’s a male Im thinking of crossing it with blue tie they both come From the same line of skunk OGcush. I have grown in the past I had better light. I think I’m learning about the led brup light brown bag one branch n maybe get something good out of it ---

keep it with the rest, until you see pollen pods. they will be visible for a week before spewing harvest killing pollen. plenty of time to dig a 6’ deep hole to put the males in. ---

I have never been able to identify dingleberries! I check mine every day and know I have a strain that likes to hermie. I don’t know how you folks can identify so early? ---

The quickest way I know is to top the plant and clone it for roots then flip it to flower to see. ---
