Ok, so these plant (the biggest ones in my gallery, posted 0ct 4th) are about 5 1/2 weeks old. Yes, i know they should be bigger, but they were stunted in the beginning due to what i think is too hot a temp.
The question is, how long do you guys think till they show sex, so i can start flowering? IM hoping very much that they will show sex by next friday ( nine days from now), and i would think that they defnitley would, but the fact that they havent shown sex yet makes me skeptical... Another question, is there a way to force them to sex? and does this inflict any harm or increase the liklihood of them bieng male? Thanks |

Another question now....
Could i switch the photo period to 18/6 for a week or so? I know that photoperiod has the potential to make plants flower earlier and show more defniitive sex earlier, but since ive used 24/24 all this time, would that be bad? I wouldent think so... Thanks again |

You need to induce flowering by giving them 12 hours of uninterupted darkness each day for 2-3 weeks. During the 3rd week they will show sex and continue flowering as either male or female. HTH

Not at all. Give the plants some rest. i gave mine 24 hours for a week, i think their 2nd week into veg as they vegged for 24 days. After that I put them on 18/6. There's a theory that the plants only have the capability to take in 18 hours of light anyway.

Wait wait wait, they dont show sex by themselves?????? I have to switch to 12/12 before calyxs form? This si defnitly news to me...
i thought that i veg them until they show sex, then I could either start 12/12 then, or wait till whenever they had vegged sufficiently in my eyes.... Which of these ways is the true way??? Also, the "flowering time" (8-10 weeks in my case) is from the start of the 12/12 or from when they show sex? Thanks again again |

2nd - If u leave a plant in constant 18/6 or plus hour cycle the plant will continue in veg cycle (this is how we keep mother plants) 3rd - U should never flower a plant (induce 12/12 cycle) on plants younger then 4 - 6 weeks 4th - the flowering time (those 8 - 10 weeks) are from the start of the 12/12 cycle |
