Sex Testing Saves Time, Money & More By Removing The Guesswork Early

7 out of 9 were dudes.

That was the result of my “guesswork” — aka not using mail-in-sex tests.

I planned for 9 ladies. I ended up with 2.

Look, it’s not hard to sex a cannabis plant…

…once it’s in flower.

It’ll show pistils, or pollen sacks (“balls”).

Former is female, latter is male.

But, if you wait until flipping, you could end up — like I did — with a male majority.

And that sucks.

For a few reasons:

1. You now have less female plants, which will impact your yields.
2. You’ve spent weeks in veg with these plants to end up killing them
3. You’ve wasted your time, labor, and supplies on plants that won’t pay you back

Unless you’re working on a preservation project for seeds and plan to let nature do her thing, males are costly.

And waiting 5–6 weeks minimum for the gender reveal is unnecessary when you can test seedlings.
