In home cultivation, the objective is to obtain female plants, as the males produce only pollen. Marijuana is a dioecious plant, that is, it has male and female flowers on different individuals.
It is not possible to know the sex of the marijuana plant at the outset unless you are already growing a feminized seed. Otherwise, keep an eye on your cultivation from the 4th week, approximately, when the plants will start to show gender.

Female plants are formed by pistils, which are small “white hairs” that appear between the nodes.
Male plants, on the other hand, do not have pistils, but are composed of small “balls” at their bases, which are full of pollen that has no therapeutic effects, but serves only for plant reproduction (which is usually not of interest to growers. homemade).
That way, the sooner the males are removed from the grow, the better. This way you free up space in the garden for the females and avoid pollinating them, which could ruin the harvest.
