Opinions Needed!!! Is This A Female??

MOVKushSmoker · #1 06-05-2008, 05:41 PM

Hey everyone! This is our girl! (Hopefully) She will be 7 weeks tomorrow. She is 15.25 inches tall and has been under continuous 24/7 lighting since the germinated seed was placed in the soil. She is being grown under CFL's. There are a total of 6 CFL's on her right now... We plan on putting her into 12/12 sometime this week. We want her to show on her own and then put her into flowering. She is a Sativa. I have put in a few pics. Please let us know if you think she is a SHE. Any input would be great. THANKS!!

Hey guys! Thanks for your comments! I appreciate it! Thanks EMAIL468 for taking the time to circle the spot on our picture. That's exactly the spot I was hoping was a pistil... Being a newbie I've been thinking the new growth have been pistils but these I was sure were actual pistils! Thanks!!

OH! I just wanted to add one more thing... and all experts can correct me if I am wrong. But, just from doing it this first time... We put her in 24/7 lighting since the germinated seed was put in the soil and with 6 1/2 weeks (35 - 40 days) she actually showed preflowers and now at exactly 41 days (as of right NOW lol) she showed sex on her own. She managed to grow 15.25 inches and since I am growing completely indoors, using CFL's, and have a limited growth space, I am VERY pleased at her growth and at how long it took to show sex on her own. So my point is... BE PATIENT!!! I have a feeling that I will reap the rewards come harvest time for not forcing her to show. There are WELL OVER 20 bud sites and I'm just thriving with anticipation to see all those spaces fill in with dense SATIVA SINSEMILLA!!! My Father always said, "The difference between good pot and GREAT pot is a matter of weeks." Of course he was talking about when to harvest but, I have a feeling this applies in veg as well. WE'LL SEE!!

a longer veg time will certainly affect yield. the only potential problem would be if the plants outgrow the lights - meaning if the CFLs can not generate enough light to reach into the canopy after flowering begins (the plants usually at least double in size after switching to 12/12).
