Identify Male Plants Rapidly

Plant DNA Sex/Gender Identification, aka the plant gender test, is a new way to accurately identify male and female plants in a fraction of the time compared to visual sex detection. Our proprietary testing method identifies samples containing male-specific genetic markers without sequencing the underlying DNA.

Identifying sex at early stages reduces resources used on unwanted plants. To get started, simply place an order on this page. Then, obtain a DNA sample from a small piece of leaf material. Simply submit your samples to our lab and get your results in a matter of days! Plant DNA Sex/Gender Testing works with cannabis, hemp, and other species with genetically controlled sex determination (see below).

How It Works

Sex/gender testing is an essential time saving tool during early stages of plant growth. It increases the cost-efficiency of growing from seed and helps you more effectively manage crop space. Determine the phenotype of your plants long before they are detectable by eye. ​Plant DNA Sex/Gender Testing works with the following types of plants:

  1. ​Hemp and Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) (Mandolino et al., 1999 and van Bakel et al., 2011)
  2. Papaya* (Carica papaya) (Deputy et al., 2002 and (Liu et al., 2004)
  3. Asparagus* (Asparagus officinalis) (Harkess et al., 2017)
  4. Nepenthes​* (carnivorous pitcher plants) (Scharman et al., 2017)

*When submitting samples for any species other than Cannabis you MUST include a piece of uncrushed whole-leaf tissue inside the collection kit.

    New Grower and I feel this product helped me save so much time and so much money. Thanks guys!!

  8. J.Good- BroHoGrow –

    So, after getting my initial test results… deltaleaf found they were having a software glitch. They retested my samples and sent back the updated results… glad to see that they are dedicated to delivering accurate results. Even sent me new tests to cover and issue.

    Their correspondence during the testing was fantastic!
    I’d recommend their services. Just sent more samples in…

  9. Mark B. –

    Awesome service and fast results. Very professional and good responses. I’ll definitely be back for more. Thank you Delta Leaf.

  10. corey A. (verified owner) –

    All I know is delta leaf outstanding performance all around. Lab testers Felipe etc. Yall are awesome always recommending you guys to people.

  11. Brian A. –

    I started with 5 tests. Out of those 5 , 2 were males. The test subjects were literally days old..saves me so much time, effort,and money to establish males ASAP. I ordered test kits they arrived n a few days and it’s very easy to take samples. I used a nug smasher (turned off) to get a good sample. Just fold up a small piece of leaf material and crush it against the paper in kit and mail back. The results took about 3 days and then I got an email with results. I since have bought 24 more kits. If your are thinking about getting some kits, my advice is do it immediately . Good luck growing.

  12. Jeremy B. –

    This was my first time using Delta Leaf Labs for plant sex testing and I will definitely be a returning customer. They go the extra mile to ensure you get results for every sample sent in. I had a stubborn sample that did not return a result on the first test, DLL retested the sample after some additional prep. for no extra cost. Give them a try!

  13. Mr. Burgundy (verified owner) –

    The tests were easy to administer, and I got my results very quickly. The customer support is friendly. No complaints here! Thanks for everything.

  14. Jeremy B. –

    As always the experience was positive. They work hard to get the results and give continuing education on sample collection. Great communications on updates to the process. Highly recommended

  15. James T. –

    Fast delivery, always 100%
    accurate! Very discreet shipping…

  16. TR N. –

    I have been using this service for several years and it has been a complete game changer. There is simply no denying the plants grown from regular seeds are healthier, more desire resistant, and never hermaphrodite compared to feminized. As a hobbyist it is essential to know as soon as possible that the correct sex is identified. Delta Leaf allows me to make the right choice at the earliest time. Their customer service and communication is nothing short of phenomenal, especially considering the economical price of the tests. I would give 10 stars if it was possible.

  17. bill c. –

    I like these guys for a couple reasons
    1. Fairly priced
    2. Easy navigation of website
    3. Customer service on point.
    4. I save tons of time and money

    need i say more?

  18. Bill K. (verified owner) –

    Every step of the process went smooth, and the customer service was great. Both Felipe and Elijah were a pleasure to deal with and after trying out a few places, Delta Leaf is where I will keep coming back.

  19. Steve K. (verified owner) –

    The only thing I wish was that I knew about this sooner. Have fun growing new phenotypes without worry of cross pollination for breeders, and without the worry of seeds for farmers.

  20. William K. –

    I love these test!!! All of my test were exactly right. I flowered a plant that tested as a male, and low and behold it was. Awsome test for a awsome price!!! Thank you

    Trend setters!!!

  27. Casey P. –

    True professionals second time using them and they are always right

  28. Austin R. –

    Delta Leaf Labs provides a simple protocol to gather samples for testing, with all the materials required.

    Procedure for 6 plants was relatively quick – collecting, preparing, and logging the samples just takes a few minutes each.

    Shipped off and had results in 5 business days.

    One sample had a weak signal. Delta Leaf Labs is retesting with a longer protocol, at no additional charge.

    Delta Leaf is providing an essential service – which can reduce cultivar sex selection time and growers efforts.

    I am delighted to recommend Delta Leaf Labs, and will be a continuing customer.

  29. Chris S. –

    Great customer service and fast turnaround even during covid. This is groundbreaking for us since we only grow regular cultivars and no fems.

  30. Landy G. –

    I TESTED TWO OF MY PLANTS AND THE RESULTS WERE 100% ACCURATE I LET IT SIT FOR ANOTHER MONTH TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I PUT HER INTO FLOWER SHE WAS A GUY !!! You guys are amazing!!

  31. adam T. –

    Quick turnaround, great service, and I was able to identify the male in my tent and pull him while he was only still 6 in tall! I didn’t have to waste nutrients time effort and attention on a plant that I would be pulling anyway. For non-feminized seeds, I will be reusing this service over and over again

  32. Brian M. –

    Best place anywhere. Filipe is the absolute best! I couldn’t say enough good things, pricing, understanding, rush, and most importantly, they care for their clients and making sure they are satisfied. Would give 10/5 if I could?

  90. SEAN M. –

    This will be the 3rd time, in as many years of needing gender testing. This year I chose to go with Delta Leaf Labs. Their service cost significantly less than the competition for the EXACT same test & was SUPER fast ! From the day I placed my order till the time I received my first test results back was 5 business days, coast to coast ! Neither competitors were as fast & friendly, & there were NO annoying follow up sales efforts attempting to sell more services or request for genetic mapping. Delta Leaf Lab’s staff are very friendly, easy to deal with, not over-bearing, & all the relevant info was easily obtainable, due to their web site. At a .15 cent KWH & 70- 90 days veg. cycle, it makes sense to have my strains sexed before the third week, reducing both actual & opportunity cost. I give Delta Leaf Labs 5 out of 5 stars & recommend them highly. Happy Gardening !

  91. Nicholas B. –

    Super happy with the test results I get here. I have used other companies before and I much prefer this company over others for one main reason each sample is separate and you pay as you send them in. When I went through other companies they had 4 or 5 samples to a card and you pay upfront. So say I had 6 samples that needed to be sexed I would have to pay for 8 or 10 samples and simply leave the ones I didn’t use blank costing me more money because they were prepaid. Here I can buy any number of cards I want and send them in as needed and just pay for the testing as I send them in.

  92. CHRIS H. –

    5 star AAA rating from me! Test results came faster than I had anticipated. My email to customer service was answered promptly and professionally and my mistake was quickly resolved. Only gender lab I’ll use, period.

  93. Patrick K. –

    I recently purchased the 10 pack offer from Delta labs I receive my DNA test kits within three days I sent them back they arrived on the Friday of the Santa Barbara show I know these guys were busy, I got my results on Monday, four out of seven females and I didn’t have to wait months, just days thank you so much you Elijah

  94. Aaron R. (verified owner) –

    Awesome service will definitely use again!

  95. Jack –

    Very quick results. The process is very easy. the directions are easy to follow. Overall great experience. I would do business again.
