i have 4 going, pic below, and I ordered a jewelers loupe online to tell as early as possible, what I have.

Without clipping off a leaf/faking the plant into 12/12, how soon will I be able to tell? I germinated Mid May--- when would I be able to use the loupe to see who to keep?

Maybe 5-8 weeks...at least that is when most of mine I plant from seeds begin to show.

and that is 5-8 weeks under a loupe -- figure another 4 weeks for the naked eye?

I can usually spot m/f by the 9th true node.

Difference between being able to tell with the naked eye and loupe is more like a day or two, not 4 weeks. I.e. you don't really need a loupe.

Mine are 5 weeks, maybe 6 and the females expressed at least a week ago maybe 9 days and the male was visible about 4 days ago In my experience the Sativas I have grown show usually by the 6th week. I couldn't tell how many nodes because I usually top them after the 4th node.

I sex mine early, they all show by the 3rd leaf set...and a loop is not needed...these two fine white pistils identify it as female...as you see in the second pic, 3rd leaf set up, left side the 2fine white pistils...I need that 4-5wks for growth, not sexing....

Sexing is it's own process, and once you fully understand it, sexing is done within 2-3 wks after germination...as you see by the size and sexed out plants in the pic...you can tell by the size they are clearly less then a month old and already sexed..

FYI....LOOPS are for determining THC gland maturity for harvesting...sexing is done with the naked eye....

Dang! Oh well At least you got some practice in right? I have heard good things about black sugar rose too. It sounds extravagant just by the name alone.
