Do you grow
#cannabis from seed? Wondering how to tell male plants from female plants early? These two photos show you what we look for in the nursery. For us, since we guarantee plants are female, it's important to be able to sex them as early as possible. (Identifying a plant's or animal's sex is known as "sexing" them.)
We use a jeweler's visor in order to keep our hands free, but a magnifying glass or good eyesight works fine. Look for the little preflowers 3-5 nodes down from the top.

![A close up photo of the stem of a cannabis plant. There is an arrow pointing to a leaf node, out of which a new branch is forming along with a very tiny flower. The "flower" is two fuzzy, greenish-white, hair-like filaments known as <br />"stigma", protruding like two fingers making a "peace sign" from a green pod-like structure. The two "hairs" as stigma are commonly called will collect any airborne pollen and a seed will form inside the pod-like structure. <br />During vegetative growth phase, these little preflowers remain insignificant. But once longer fall nights trigger the plant into flowering phase, these pod-with-hair structures will pack together into large, dense clumps that most people know as <br />"buds". Far from being flower buds, these are the end stage of the flowering cycle. In nature, these flower clusters would become pollinated and instead of becoming giant clusters, the plant would put its energy into producing seeds.](https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/114/514/608/786/346/793/original/6c80ec7a8865843f.jpg "A close up photo of the stem of a cannabis plant.
