Well its been about a week now since i started force flowering and all is going well as far as plant growth but it hasnt showed any sex yet. If i remember correctly it takes only a couple days for it to show its sex right? Ive been doing over 12 hours of darkness a day and usually around 8 hours of sunlight daily. I was told that more darkness and less light was ok so thats waht ive been doing. Am i wrong about sexing only taking a few days? Could something else be the problem or does all sound well. I can post some new pics if neccessary. :rasta:

So,your giving it 20 hours of light? Not a 12/12 cycle? 12 light,12 dark?

Give it 12/12 light.You will be able to tell the sex in a few days.Not sure if they are stressed? I would assume.You say growth is fine.Just put the lights up 3 more hours and don't be movin'em around.Just keep them under the light.

Holla!

It can take up to 3 weeks to show sex, but more common is 2 weeks.

The plant measures the time of uninteruppted darkness which realises the flowering hormone, so make sure there are no light leaks.

and do what GaGrown said about 12/12. Once your into flowering, you can give them 14 dark and 10 light, but id wait untill 4 weeks into flowering.

My guess is a light leak in the dark period.
Or it's a sativa.

jdogs probably right,bout the sativa.I knew for a fact that mine were female! So I hade no worries.It did however, take more than the average, indica or afgahn to flower! 18 to 24 hours of light is the veg stage and 12/12 flower!These gurls of mine are 3 weeks into flower and are looking SUPER!

They should show sex any day.
Put it in 12 hours of darkness only.
It will take away some of your yield to put it in the dark for so long.
