i manage to cull most males in veg due to their height. males tent to grow taller and faster. but nothing is sure till they flower or show sex.

Thanks for the reply SML like to see some votes cuz Ive been growing a while now and have never heard of such a thing unless your familiar with the strain.Just to pull the taller plants seems like a guess to me.The point I'm hopping to make is dont kill your plants cuz the tall 1 is a male .Its not fact and in general is bad advice .Any new grower not sure should not take it to heart

i dont kill anything till it shows sex.but i do move the alleged males to the flower area first allowing more room in veg. i also dont transplant them to new containers unless i am wrong and they are females.doesnt happen very often tho

Ever seen a big female sativa, 12' high or more? I don't think size is an indicator of sex. It's just genetics.

We have a Haze cross going right now..she's about almost my height and indoors too!

Just because its a tall growing strain does not mean that the males are not going to be taller than females.Get what I'm saying.

and just because some males may grow taller, does not mean all males are taller. it varies from smaller, same height and taller. which means you cannot determin sex by plant height, you determine it by flowering and waiting for preflowers. you'd be pretty stupid to bin taller plants before sexing them.
