Well i have 1 female plant out of 4 so far. Had to kill another cause it started to show male. So now i have 3 left. So i need to know why its showing so early its only been 5 weeks and the plant isnt even 1 foot tall yet? Also how much longer can i keep it in veg cause i want it to grow taller so i can "top" it a few times.

First time grower in need of help. Lol

how much light are you giving the plants? Unless you have an autoflowering strain or preflowers, the only way you should be able to tell the sex is after switching the light cycle to 12/12.

I agree.....unless you've gone 12/12 no way to tell sex. Takes 7-14 days after initiating 12/12 for the plant to sex up.

disagree. i know 100% for a fact that you can tell sex before flowering. granted it usually takes more than 5 weeks but i had plants right around 6-7 weeks that showed sex. called PREFLOWERS.
