What Are Some Ways To Make Sure Your Plants Are Girls

Just wondering what some do's and dont's are to make sure my plants are girls.
Im growing 3 Autoflowering Short Riders and 1 photoperiod big bomb.
All from feminized seeds I ordered from the attitude.
Any ideas?

Can't really do anything, you started with fem seeds, so just don't stress them out. Still not 100% , no seed is.

keep mother plants and grow clones

There are none. They either are male or female. No way to change it til later...lol But that is for another time.

That's the thing. You purchased feminized seed, so your plants will be female. Now yes, they could turn hermie, just don't stress them to much and you'll be fine. I've grew out some Afghan Kush Ryder (see my avatar and sig pics) from Attitude and lst'd the crap out of them and they didn't turn hermie. As for changing the sex later, Missnu is probably referring to using Gibberellic acid to turn a branch from female into male so you can have self pollination by a female resulting in your own personal stock of feminized seeds. I'd suggest not worrying about that for now and grow them auto's out! Give 'em 24 hours a day of light, 1/4 strength nutes, and read up on systemic resistance. I had great results with mine. Hope this helps!

iv got them on a 24/0 light/dark cycle. they are about 2 inches tall. and about a week and a half old. are you saying i should start the 1/4th nutes now?

I started mine on 1/4 nutes 2 weeks after the first leaves came out. Although every strain is different, I'd suggest wait till you hit two weeks then start. If you want to be on the safe side do 1/8 strength for the first week and see how they react. If there are no signs of over fertilization, then I'd up it to 1/4 the following week, and slowly increase each week. If they start getting over fertilization then flush with plain ph'd water for a few days until healthy new growth shows itself, then begin ferts again and either lower the amount or the frequency for the rest of the grow. That's how I did it at least and it work great. For all the info I'd read and learned about how Auto's used less nutes, I was sure surprised at how much mine used. Still not as much as a normal plant, but definitely more than I had expected. Hope they grow out good for you!

alright thanks man!!
