Hi everybody. Well I am pretty excited cause my two twins are showing signs of gender I believe. Now I can defiantly pin-point one as being female 95%. But the other one I would like some assistance on because I see both features.

I started thinking that but tried to remain optimistic it would be female. I did force flower them after two months of veg growth. It is getting late in the year and I needed to get them to start flowering before colder temps come in. I do see more what appears to be pollen sacks on the first one. So would you agree the first is a female. Also should I separate them now if I feel I can fully identify them. Herms any good use?
Another item for decision making its that the first pics on each row are the same plant. The second pics on each row are the same plant. Last pic is just a top view (my favorite). First plant is taller and not as bushy toward the top of the plant. Second is consistently bushy but is short by about two inches of the first.

what you think are pollen sacks are called Calyxes first is female. the Calyx is long and has 2 white hairs coming out of it. the second is a male. note the "balls" kill it quick before they open up into what looks like a bunch of bananas

I was just about to but I wanted to get some other opinions first. So even a Hermie (if it was one) would still shoot pollen onto my female>? I guess I'll just separate them now and hope for the best with my female.

Herms can be harvested right along side true females. Just comb every bud, and remove all the pollen pistols before they go off. You do not want to use this to pollen for later seed stock, as it is likely to also contain herm seeds. The best way I have found to avoid this is to only pull clones from the bottom branches onces you are heavily into the budding cycle. This seems to allow for the shock of changing from 12/12 back to whatever veg cycle you run without going herm. Of course this is usually only an issue when starting from seed stock, because the plant has to be sexed before it can be cloned. Remember that most dank seeds now adays have herm genetics because they were most likely produced from screwed up light cycles, or cloning as soon as sex was determined. Let them get going and hairy before you pull your clones.
