Hi!

Well, seedlings and cuttings are all bushing nicely, although I could do with a bit more room down in the old cellar!

One of the seedlings grew mega-tall & lanky; for 3 months I was sure he was male - now suddenly he's producing pistils! I'm not well-up on this hermaphrodite/chaning-sex thing - could he have turned female because of the conditions he's kept in? principally 16 hours' light. This is only my third grow, but the previous two batches of plants turned out all female, which with hindsight seems a tad unlikely; now this one looks to be going the same way.

Also, my 7 clones are urgent to flower, while the rest are lollygagging & taking in the sights before they get there - if I keep them all on 16 hours' light will it prevent the clones from flowering? Or do they have to go for it once they get the urge? They're all roundabout.......... um, 2.5 months old I think.

Thanks guys!

Belated Happy New Year!!
