30 days of veg seems a little short. Is there any particular reason you did it only for 30 days? Anyway It can take 2-3 weeks sometimes more to show the sex of the plant. Sometimes for sativa strains it could take a little longer. Just be patient. and keep checking everyday. And also check and make sure your plants aren't male. Male flowers look a bit like small bunches of mini green bananas. Look near the leaf joints on your plants to see them emerging. If that is the case remove them as soon as possible. You don't want your babies to get preggo with seeds! Good luck and I hope this helped.

30 days would be a little early...from seed. 4-6 weeks of veg and you should see preflowers....so really it is only about a week into flower now! you should start to see the flowers forming in the next week or so.
also make sure there is no light leaks during dark cycle...as this may delay flowering too!

i wanted a couple of blunts for new years and i was told 4 weeks was good enough but thanks for the help after two weeks of no pistils im freaking out

Yeah like lime said...30 days is very short for seed lol I would go for at least 60 days. But normally it takes 4-6 weeks of vegging and it should be good. But since you already started flowering it I believe it will be about another week or 2 before it actually starts showing. Good luck!

You may have blunts for Valentines. Better go shopping for New Years smoke. Just be patient, the plant will show sex when its ready.
its just bagseed and i gotta check for light leaks i cant fit into the box lol so its hard any ways thank you guys so much ill let you know if it starts showing pistils and i guess it helps that seeds are from a hermie so i have to see pistils i was planning to just pull out any male flowers it might get instead of just ditching them thanks guys

How big were they, before going to 12/12? Age is irrelevant, if they were grown very slowly. For example, a 6" plant,(small for it's age) even though it's 4 weeks old, isn't as mature as a plant that was grown properly, and is much larger. The smaller plant will take longer to show preflowers, because technically, it's only like 2 weeks old,(maturity-wise) even though it's been around for 4 weeks.
It's strain-dependant, too. I was just throwing that out there, because I see lots of plants here, that are small for their age.

you realize 30days= 4 weeks2days, yes? So that would make them mature by your standards.

Not really??? Not until they show preflowers 4-6 weeks( and that is an estimated average time for most strains)....some can take longer!!!
I read the plant....when she is ready and mature(showing her pre-flowers).... that is the time to start flowering. not when we think its time!!! lol but hey a plant doesn't tell time the way we do... lol

I agree that 30 days for a sativa is a little early to flip but 18 days of 12/12 is a long time not to be showing pistols or at least have preflowers. This may be a stupid question but are you sure its not a male? You may also have a light leak. Just some thoughts. Good luck my friend.

it was about 7 inches when i put them in now there 12 inches i was trying to keep them small but they dont like it i guess my flowering room is small and im using all cfls
well theres no sighns of any flowers but the seeds are from a hermie feminized i guess and would even just a tiny bit of light fuck it up
yea the temps are hard to keep steady usually 98 down to like 79 i have to run ac and one plant the leaf is curling up like for example if ur looking a the leaf topside it curls upward like its rolling itself up the fingers i guess idk only one plant is like that
