I'm not seeing any signs of sex, be sure your plant is getting complete darkness for at least 12 hours.

[redsoxian22]

you cant see any signs at all?and is that tend to be good or bad?

Well it's probably good because females tend to take longer to show sex. When the calyxes and pistils do start showing, then a bunch will pop up relatively quickly.

look a little bit behind mate heres mine after 4 weeks of flower

[redsoxian22]

i know thats why im asking if slower is better or worse.

[redsoxian22]

anyway mine are only 2 weeks into flower

[phytokind]

There are a few things that should help to induce flowering, such as redder lights and high phosphate fertilizer. Higher temps, like 85F, should also help to induce female flowering.

[phytokind]

Oh, and my plant is looking a lot like yours at a little over a month old, and maybe two weeks of flower, but mine showed calyxes at a little over a week of 12/12.

[redsoxian22]

higher temps i thought that higher temps produced more male or hermies

[moonwolf52]

they look like mine. Mine are into their 6th day with no signs yet.

[phytokind]

higher temps i thought that higher temps produced more male or hermies

I'm pretty sure that Marijuana Botany claims that 85 or 86F produces more females, as opposed to lower temps. I had three plants at about that temp and got one good female, possibly two but I killed the others because I only have space for one.

[redsoxian22]

i have a space heater that heats up the room nice but temps are between 73&76 sometimes 80 should i turn up the heat?

[redsoxian22]

moonwolf or phytokind do you have any pics?

[phytokind]

Nope. But my plant isn't bushy yet, since its secondary growth (the branches that grow from the main branches) has barely started, and it's streched quite a lot since I started 12/12, so it's not bushy like a lot of the plants posted here, but I hope that it gets bushy with time. The first calyx with pistil appeared in the upper part of the plant, almost the top node, and after that a few more calyxes grew, and now a lot of pistil hairs are growing out of the buds. But my plant got some kind of nutrient problem early on, so some of the leaves have brown necrosis spots, but it's healthy for the most part I hope.

More phosphorus not phosphate lol, thats a Radical :) I believe PO4 ;)

Oh, and congraulations everyone on this thread is wrong, lol. There are clearly female preflowers, calxys with pistils, how long has the plant been in 12/12? I topped my plant at 4 and a half weeks veg from seed, showed sex at the top two nodes, with quite a high temperature (27-31 degrees C), and lots of bluish coloured light. Heres a pic with a circled preflower.

May the bud be with you :p

[notorious P.O.T]

well it is rather late to be showing sex but my question is how long did you veg it b4 puttin it into flowering.. cuz if you put it in too early then the plant will have to grow mature enough to flower and then start flowering...which can take some time... plus wtf happened to the sox man.. they had it and then fell apart... it was all variteks falt for getting injured cuz after that the team fell apart...

[redsoxian22]

it was in veg for 4 weeks & im not woried about the sox because i still have the patriots.You couldnt see the white hairs in the first pic if you enlarge it.

[moonwolf52]
