It's that time of year! We don't sell plants until we can definitively identify them as female, distinguished by the little white "hairs" (called "stigma") protruding from the green pod-like "bract" (what most people call a "calyx").

Once a plant declares its sex this way, we can sell it. Once we identify males, they go into the compost. (Though we do occasionally save a few for people who want to juice the leaves or dabble in breeding.)

We guarantee our plants are female, but it's critically important that anyone growing cannabis understand that ANY cannabis plant, whether from clone or seed, can produce male flowers at any time in its life cycle. This happens due to stress, genetics and possibly other factors. So check your plants regularly throughout the season or you could end up with a seeded crop.
