- How To Identify Male and Female Cannabis Flowers
Professor DeBacco
Pre-Flowers
Growers should first look at the nodes (junction of leaves/branches and the stalks of the plant).
Pre-flowers begin to develop 4-6 weeks into the growing cycle at the nodes and during this time growers should be able to identify the gender of the plant as male or female.
These are immature flowers and will show the male or female morphology well before they are able to produce viable components for seed production.
Removing males at this time will help ensure no chance of accidental pollination will occur.
Male pre-flowers: Look for small pollen sacs
Female pre-flowers: Look for two stigmas (typically white)
Female Plants
Females are the plants that will produce the cannabinoids in the greatest concentrations in the flowers.
If female plants receive pollen from male plants seeds will be produced which will drastically reduce cannabinoid production.
Cannabis is grown via sinsemilla (“seedless”) by removing male pollen producing plants to prevent seed production.
This allows for the cannabis plant to focus its energy on cannabinoid production instead of seeds.
Female plants will only be pollinated to produce seeds for breeding purposes.
Male Plants
Male cannabis plants grow pollen sacs instead of buds and are often discarded to avoid female plants from being pollinated.
Males are important in the breeding process
Pollinating male plants shape, rate of growth, pest and mold resistance, and climate resilience can important for breeding purposes.
Male plants can also be used for:
Hemp fiber and in some cases concentrate production but concentration is much less than female plants.

You are welcome and thanks for the honorable comparison.
I've been through to harvests with your videos one was very successful the first one wasn't too good but watching your videos and give me an incredible amount of information I'm still referring to your videos and thank you
Thanks for sharing, great to know the videos have been helpful for you. Let others know about the channel;-)
@@DeBaccoUniversity Your video doesn't take into account Hermaphrodite plants which are not at all uncommon. Mostly they are plants that appear to be female for the 2 or 3 weeks of flowering and then they start to grow male pollen sacks. Some times it is just a few and other times its too many and the plant has to be destroyed to prevent the other females going into seed production. Maybe you could make anther video on that subject? I assure you that is is quite common when growing from seeds.

Thanks for the high praise!
A plant can be showing its sex in one small hardly visible place and not be noticed. Plant shape can be a clue. Males are taller with more space between the sets of branches. My grandpa grew outdoors here in oregon and he would put a cardboard tube with one end taped shut to block light on a lower branch that wouldn't produce much. That branch goes into a flower cycle revealing the sex. He collected seeds from all kinds of people, from all kinds of places, with all kinds of tall tales about reefer and grew some serious kind. Usually sexing a plant is for propagation where it's imperative to control breeding but he did it to weed out the Males long before any pollination for a seedless crop giving the remaining plants more resources sooner.
The earlier you can cull plants the better.
Is there any other great information your grandpa left you concerning cannabis plants? I'm interested. This is a great tip. Thanks!!!
His knowledge could have filled books I'm sure. That tip was also featured in Ed Rosenthals "ask ed" column in high times. My grandpa's weed was legendary and i think it might have had something to do with his seed collection that he was sorting through. Every seed was either propogated unintentionally or with diabolical intention. The end result was always a suprise. But if you care about strains and their development you must keep breeding controlled. Also getting rid of unwanted males creates space and saves soil nutrients for the plants you want. The marijuana discussion has never been bigger but doesn't make sense according to most everything i learned about it growing up. I never grew it like my family but I had enough exposure to gain knowledge without trying. If there's something else i could suggest it would be curing techniques. He never had a dryer rack. He would hang his branches upside down in the dark damp crawlspace underneath the house. It seemed curious after stressing about mold at harvest. He even developed a strain that was early flowering to avoid mold that he called oregon outdoor. I asked him why he cured this way and he said that upside down branches with leaves on droop down over the flowers slowing the cure and make trimming the leaves easier. The stem attaching the leaf becomes a bright line that's easy to spot. Slowing the cure as much as possible without causing mold is real magic. Your flowers when cured will stick to walls like a booger. Cure as slow and damp as possible with the least amount of heat and light. If you use a jewelers lense and select flowers by how the trichome looks you change the levels of cbn and cbd. A more degraded trichome will have higher cbd than one picked at an optimal harvest time. Its why that crappy brick weed from Mexico would plant you in your chair. That in combination with the plant having seeds. When plants are with child all resources go to the child just like people. If the plant is not with child it becomes desperate for fertilization and makes itself stickier. If the plant is stressed it becomes more desperate and even stickier. When he smuggled his crop to my mom in California every year she'd sell out quick. There were always stories about how her weed wrecked someone. These tips are great for someone growing their own but may not be useful for large scale grows that are more concerned with volume than quality. Others tips were stressing the plant before harvest, only use natural methods, tying starts in a loop then untying and supporting their weight near harvest, removing big long branches that will produce one tiny piece of pot because it's a wasteof resources, try growing only tops or cola's, I could go on. Thanks for responding...I hope this information was useful to you.
Dang bro, well grown my friend! Good for you sir 💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks you for this!
My plants were germinated female and have female flowers but they identify as non binary, what am I to do.
This killed me ✅😂😂😂😂
😂😂🌲
Provide pollen if you want seeds and keep pollen away if you want cannabinoids.
Jim, give it a trophy even if it doesn't do well. Wouldn't want to stunt it's growth.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Thank you for the good info, I thought my plant was turning into the flowering stage, but its just a preflower
You are welcome 😊
@@DeBaccoUniversity actually I found out it was a autoflower plant. Thats why the flowers popped out early, is it normal in 4 weeks ?
these videos are awesome.....saves on guess work...!!!!!!!!!
This comment is awesome;-) Thanks for watching!
Very informative thank you!

thanks for making this game a lot easier! sick of seeded bud, tricky little buggers, and I have been growing for 32 years.🧐
Identification and recognition early is important.
@@DeBaccoUniversity ml
Sounds like you need more research
@@brandonbell5357 Or she has a neighbor somewhere with a male plant! Or some in the wild. Knew a guy who kept getting seeds and finally moved his operation indoors and it solved it. Pollen can travel through wind and bugs quite the distance.

High-level information combining the theoretical with the practical, and connecting the lab to the field. Thank you. I didn't want to have to consult a textbook, or go to a library, likely in vain due to their puritanical natures.
I hope we see more of these types of videos from real scientists and teachers in the future.
I hope other post-secondary educators become aware that an online lesson like this is the best and most democratic way to spread their knowledge to those who actually want it, instead of making specialized information strictly available for those interested that can afford it; or, for those who a) believe that their lessons are unimportant or boring, or b) they can learn later with on the job training, or c) are simply a vehicle to a career path.
Producing educational content like this for the world, free for the user and curated to a larger, more interested audience, while monetizing the scholar directly via ad revenue without a sea of intermediaries seems to me preferable for both student and teacher, as compared to, say, going a quarter million dollars in debt; or, working underappreciated for a pittance at an adult daycare existing to manufacture undergraduate degrees to a student body, 70% of whom are hungover, absent, or disinterested, while administrators who have nothing to do with academics funnel the educators' profits into their wallets and the athletics program.
I guess - long-windedly and likely for no-one - I just want to say thanks again for putting stuff like this out there, not only because it was very helpful, but because, perhaps, it may also embolden more and more with specialized information to do the same. If enough of an audience is built among enough educators, perhaps a free online university could be possible for the world, and become lucrative for its participants.

Great video thanks! Once there are signs of preflower you switch the light cycle to flowering? Or let them stay in the vegetative stage longer?
If you can keep them in veg longer this is suggested to create more biomass and plant material to improve the end season harvest.
Thanks for sharing this information Colorado Silverback777 Stay Healthy keep sharing.
You are welcome!
I used to do that out in the field back in the 80's. As soon as you see those male pre flowers yeet that plant out of the ground. The leaves of the male plant do contain a small amount of THC. Just dry the leaves and smoke them. That will give you something to smoke and a nice little buzz while waiting on the females to be ready for harvest.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you again for a great video!👏❤️👏
Thanks for the positive comment!
Doc you’re the best and thank you. Question: as an outside grower how do you generate necessary seeds for the following season and how do you cross pollinate?
Thank you and your program is excellent and I’m signing up for your class as perineal as always. U DA BEST
This is a difficult process and as a result many are simply choosing to purchase seeds for each growing season as the risk of pollen escape to reduce cannabinoids on all plants is very high.
@@DeBaccoUniversity thanks Doc that’s the conclusion I’m drawing. As always, thank you
Can't you pick some males out, and then get them indoors with some girls - so in a different zone that is isolated - and seed them there?
Also, is it necessary to start a new crop? Can't you just clip some nice buds and replant them? Might be time consuming for a big crop, but what about a smaller crop?@@DeBaccoUniversity
@@thenewvoice8I’m by no means an expert, but I think that you are unaware of how potent pollen from a male cannabis plant is. You’d have a very hard time containing it.
Fantastic video, very informative thank you.
Are those Marigolds planted at the end of the rows in the field, if so what is the purpose?
They were intended to keep pest away early in the season and now just add some visual interest.
Thanks for this. Im growing for the first time and the one plant did not look like the others. It will be removed today.
Glad the video helped you.
Thanks
You are welcome!
Wow. I'm not sure if it's the Mexican in me, but I'm excited to learn about growing after watching this. 😁 Very informative, thanks for teaching!
Thanks, now you can apply what you have learned;-)
excellent 5 star vid understand that the large fan leaves are influential in sexing - plant physiology research book and lack of direct sun and later growth tends to produce a male based on observation -from observation and experience...like the microscopic close up of male plant-excellent....are there any benifits of male polen medicinally??? congrats
Thanks for the 5 star review!
2 observations I'd like to have Clarified. Do males elongate more with less growth near the stock as apposed to a female? Also I noticed 2 of my plants produce different numbers of leaves. One plant has 5 feathers per leaf where the other plant has 7 per leaf. Is this a difference between genders or just genteics?
1. Males do tend to be taller.
2. genetics;-)
It's just basic and when it start showing pollen it's too late for outdoor. Any method for early stage sign?
Identify the preflowers and this will be before the pollen is viable and released.
I have seeds from an autoflower. There were no male plants in there and I didn't see any on visual inspection. They are nice, chunky dark seeds and would I be correct in assuming that these seeds will be feminised?
Odds are likely but only one way to know for sure.....
When is the optimal week of flower for pollination? & how long until to seeds are mature? Do you need to extend your flowering time? Thanks in advance!
While this may seem like answer avoidance it really does depend on the strain you are growing. If growing for seeds, be sure to wait form them to full mature and loose the white/green coloration to their seed coats.
I think folks like us should find a reputable seed bank. That’s what the doctor ordered, unless you have specialized in your field of course. The Doc generates great conversion amongst nice peoples.

Don't listen to that crap
@@kostudas1no lmao the buds should be like half the size of your fist b4 u harvest if not bigger obviously this is plant dependant
Been growing for decades (outdoor) and almost never see plants with preflower male sacs. More often all have the pistils like females appearing after a couple months or so. Still later some of the plants start developing into males . Usually with tight clusters of "pre" balls or sacs forming on the tips of branches.
The key is to catch them in the "pre" phase.
Hermaphroditism
Sounds like what i litterqly found last night
As long as it gets you high who cares
@@brandonbell5357your comment is invalid
Maybe a discussion on Hermaphrodites ? they can happen late in flowering season up to 8 weeks is a dangerous area for some strains God Gift is one that Herms quite often.
Thanks for the information.

Thanks.
Love your tutorials.
Glad you like them!
Can you show us how to collect pollen? I'm thinking to save a branch with pollen sacks in a vase away from the females letting the flowers open and then using a brush with pollen to pollinate a female stem and then marking it with string. I'm sure the pollen should be sealed, and maybe refrigerated. I just want a few seeds for next year and not sure what I'm doing yet. I got the original plant seeds from a friend who cross-pollinated as a hobby so I can't get these plants from anyone else or they won't be the same. I save all kinds of seeds for my garden but these kinds of plants are different.
My friend says I can pollenate just one branch and the rest of the plant will be seedless but tie a string around it so I can find it later.
This may be of help for you... bloommedicinals.com/cannabis-education/innovations-in-cannabis-pollen-long-term-storage-and-its-germination/
Very clear explanation
Very clear comment;-)
I have grown various seedlings into a single pot, Now after 2 weeks they have aroused. Should I keep them as they are or should I use different pots?
Up-potting is in order.
if i wanted my cannabis plant to herm, what would you recommend i do without using any type of spray? im currently drastically varying the light intensity i give the plant every day by using the dimmer on my light. and is it possible to get a male plant to herm?
Light stress via changing photoperiods can often be effective.
@@DeBaccoUniversity thank you so much
Wow
Hope you liked the video.
Cna anyone tell me, do male plants need 12/12 or they just make sacks when they mature enough, if logically thinking, seeds fully develop 4-6 weeks, so if sack starting growing as same as female bud they willl be too late to pollen
Typically the 12/12 will induce flower formation, but I would not trust all the males to follow this;-)
So can you use make plants to produce seeds for more plants? Or Is cloning best?
Depends on your goal... do you want identical copies of the original plant?
@@DeBaccoUniversity i planned on clipping off some clones then pollinating one solely for seed production because it’s nice quality flower for me just starting. Just wondering if mass seeds are worth it or just focusing on feminized seeds. 😂 theres so much im still learning.
Just found a male with a couple little seed pods in my outdoor crop from using mixed seeds. Most of my plants are at the end of veg some have just begun to pre flower, I think I caught it soon enough
Scouting your plants on a regular basis goes a long way.
I’m not convinced there is a way to tell until shortly before it flowers. I have one plant that is 6 weeks old and 4 feet high. I have been cutting off the lower branches as I always do and the only thing I am finding at the nodes is new growth. Of course it’s months away from flowering but I worry.
Pre-flowers should be showing soon.
Can I transplant 4 week old plants into their own pots? I have two in one large pot so I assume it is best to seperate them. Growing outdoors.
This is possible, best of luck.
Yes
🤓add some music and explosion...... thank you for the information.
Goal is facts not flash.
How far can the pollen travel ? Let's say somebody in my neighbourhood has some male plants, should i be worried ?
It can travel many, many miles, but the odds of a high rate of pollination (if it is a small grow) is minimal so I would not worry too much about it.
Unrelated, but in regards to indoor growing, why do “blurple” lights get so much hate? I just picked up an led and I guess it’s kind of blurple so I was disheartened
Not full spectrum and are missing certain wavelengths, in addition it makes diagnosing plant issue difficult on first onset. In general not a fan of these types of lights.
I grew a few strains from fem seeds (outdoors), after harvesting and during curing while I was rotating the jars I found a seed in 2 jars. Where on the plant did it come from and will it be a fem seed? Or is it just nature’s way of survival.
50/50 male to female chance depending on the pollen source.
Last year I used clones and found seeds after trimming. They ended up being males.😢
Thank You. I have watched this before but still had problems. What I thought were female ended up being male ? Guess I need to develop a better eye for it.
The more you see the better you will get;-)
same
Do you ever keep the males separately to harvest only the pollen or is that even possible?
This is possible and an isolated grow tent with carbon filter is the recommended location for males.
After flowering, after how many days does full maturation occur?
It can depend on the variety you are growing and the photoperiod for some. General range is 7-9 weeks or so.
I planted mine a few weeks ago, they are outside and growing but still too small to tell
Give it time;-)
Should have planted earlier
1 question: if a female plant gives buds and in the buds you have sometimes a seed also. If you grow this seed ,will this give also buds? I really wanna know.
Can be unfertilized seeds but you can only tell if you try;-)
Thank you for your respond💪
I know this is probably very dumb but what would happen if you cut the pollen sacks off. Would it die or still grow bugs??
Plant would still grow.
Bro! 😂😂 Hit the Gelato and start snipping! But be prepared to be there for hours. Just keep away from the Bubblegum or you will end up with a grow tent full of bonsai!!! 😂😂😂😂
This has got me chuckling - I can just picture it!
You mentioned being able to identify Male and female plants at the 4-6 week mark.. I assumed this is in Veg? I normally veg my plants about 7 weeks (27-30”) before flower. I assume there is no threat to the female plants until I flip them to flower? I also wanted to confirm the males can be identified before flipping to flower.. thanks
Some strains need longer to mature from seed than others. Those little pre’s should be visible in veg if mature.
In short yes, called pre flowers as mentioned/shown in the video.
so if my plants have any little sacks they are males ? too bad i have 3 plants which for sure i thought were females but i had my doubts
In short... yes.
It’s my 3rd week in flower 1 of my 4 have have started producing flower the others are still growing but no signs of flower, what do I do
How can you be in your 3rd week of flower with no flowers? Are they autos?
@@DeBaccoUniversity no not autos, I was thinking the 3 are males but I’ve put so much time and money into them I want to make sure there males before I take them out, this is my 3rd year growing haven’t had this happen to me so I’m confused on what to do I’ve watched your video probably 10 times
I have both, did I screw up my first plants?

I wonder if big outdoor grow operations got problems with competitors dumping pollen on their fields? It would be very easy to fertilize a whole field with drones^^
This would be a lot of work to transport pollen.
One of mine looks lik it stopped in the first week of flower all others look great
Stopped in what way?
@@DeBaccoUniversity it started with pistols and looks lik it was jus about to flower and never did all others r stacked with buds but one jus never budded their outdoors plants so can't do nothing light wise
Great video. Only one question, where is that field located? 🤔 😂😂
Outside;-)
I would like to no if u can determine a male and female seeds
Only though genetic testing.
Hi. My experience has been that females are ready for pollination as soon as the preflowers appear.
A true preflower is underdeveloped but depending on other factors, it may not be long after preflowering that they are receptive to pollen.
@@DeBaccoUniversity Thank you. So perhaps it was few days later then. I remember only having about 10 seeds where the preflowers had been. I was using pollen from my fridge, from an earlier male. Getting reg auto seeds is difficult around here.
Last year I have a lots of seeds.
Likely there was pollen in the area.
Yeah. It's no joke. 1 male can Knock up 1000 or more Females. If even your neighbors don't pull males. Would that be a F1 hybrid? How do you get that?
One plant survived but unable to determine about male and female. Will you please help if I send you close photos?
Waiting for your support and reply
Sounds like you are in the pre-flower stage so if you wait a little longer and they develop further you should be able to tell more easily. You can send an image but there is no threat of pollination if the flowers are underdeveloped.
Is it true there is a type of hash using male pollen sacks ?
Rumor has it that this can be done, but there are better starting materials.
You won't know until you buy some from a less than reputable source, then go home and wonder why you just caned a quarter and got nothing but a weird pulsing headache just above your eyebrows and at the back of your skull on either side where it joins your spine. Been there way back in the 70's only it was 00Moroccan that had been pressed with henna. 🤢🤬
I had a female plant that turned male. Didnt know they could do that.
The first plant i ever grew was a seedling i found growing in the yard where some sailors had lived. The moved out and i had to clean their trailer(they trashed it). I noticed it growing, recognized it and transplanted it. Into a pot. It got about 3 1/2 feet tall and started developing pollen. I was disappointed. Went ahead and has ested it because it was getting harder to hide. I was careful to keep all the pollen with the leaves. Dried it and rolled 6 joints from it. I dmoked one and while eatching tv it looked like transmisdions from outerspace. Then i couldn't move out of my chair. Someone grabbed the rest of the joints i made. Damn.
This can happen in rare occasions where sometimes the plants will produce both flowers on the same plant.
@@DeBaccoUniversity having taken a botany course I am puzzled as to why the pollen producing parts are being referred to as "flowers" ? I don't have my botany book available to look it up but it jars me every time I hear flowers and right now I'm not sure why (why it jars me). I guess I think of seed producing flower parts as flowers and pollen producing plant parts as "anthers". My memory is not as good as when I was younger. My damn phone somehow has lost the ability to Google stuff and that's very inconvenient.
@@DeBaccoUniversity I think what caused my plant to do it might have been the fact that when I found the female plant it was very small even though it had a nice sized bud and I had to transplant it from that location since it was growing in a driveway. It had popped up sometime in the fall and the day length had fooled it into producing buds. But the transplantation shocked it a little. The buds had been removed so it could use its energy to growth and it did grow. But no more buds. Just pollen producers. And by then the day length was increasing.
if you clone from female plants, will the off-spring be garunteed female plants ?
Ideally yes which is why this method is so popular for cannabis propagation.
@@DeBaccoUniversity thanking you
oh . . and is there a percentage of "feminized" seeds that turn out to be male ?
sin semillas is Spanish for without seeds
You are correct, this is the origin of the name.
You said @ 1:27 "and for female preflowers, you want to be looking for two stigmas"; Did you mean "Stipules", if not what are "Stigmas"?
Stigmas is correct, this is the female, pollen receptive portion of a flower.
@@DeBaccoUniversity So the pistils? I am just confused because you only used the word "stigmas" once and didn't really describe what part of the plant you were talking about. I appreciate the reply though!
if its showing signs of a male but grows to be a female with big buds in the end how do you know
Wait to see how the flower develops, if pollen is present... remove.
Sir u talk about only male and female flowers, what about intersex plants?
These plants have both types of flowers on the same plant, but these are often rare.
wow! That's a lot of weed..
Growing at a large scale requires efficiencies.
Do male plants produce only male seeds
Male plants only produce pollen with an equal chance of having an X or a Y chromosome.
What it means if it grows an extra head at the gender location?
Mutation.
@@DeBaccoUniversity Thanks for the reply mate!so I got to wait when gender show yes?or is it a male beginning stage?
Wait until you see flowers...
Can the male plant pollinate the female plant with without pollinated ??? Thanks guys
No, if it is pollinated, it is pollinated.
@@DeBaccoUniversityhey mon no it was not pollinated but it had big balls lol an I got ridder it so I would assume it's didn't affect my other plants
can you just pinch off the little sacs and let it grow
This may be true, but if the plant is male there will be no final flower yield.
I finally got a plant to grow but because I'm new I have no idea wtf it is
Best of luck with it.
