Sexing Marijuana Plants

by

Sexing marijuana plants is a crucial part of the growing and breeding process. Cannabis plants are generally dioecious plants, which means that they will produce either female or male reproductive organs. In certain environmental conditions, however, cannabis plants can be monoecious, also known as “hermaphroditic.” Monoecious plants feature both male and female reproductive organs.  When growing from seed, growers keep a close eye on early plant growth to make sure they know which plants are female and which are male.

If you’re exercising your green thumb with cannabis plants, here’s everything you should know ...
