flowering question

[curious101]

I live in the North east of the States, my plants have beein in the ground since april and are looking great, i know male plants generally show first from last yrs grow and was wondering when this would happen, last yr i coulda swore it was mid to late July but i'm seeing no signs of any males to pull yet, any ideas i'm right outside the NY area

They won't start to show until the equinox. If they showed in July last year, you had an autoflowering strain. The nights in July aren't long enough to throw a regular strain into flower mode.
