Anytime man. Most plants will show in a long veg time but some that I've had didn't show till within the first couple weeks of flower. The ones that showed in veg usually didn't show til after the nodes started alternating. This is just what I have noticed with my plants. Different strains, different reactions. Keep us posted and if you have any doubts, keep posting pics. Someone will let you know as soon as it's noticeable.Quote:

I veg for 8 weeks usually and most indica dominant hybrids will show preflowers around week six. They will not start the bloom cycle until the length of day is shortened. You could continue to veg (18-24 hours of daylight) after the pistils or stamen show, even for additional months and the plant will not go into it's bloom cycle and finish. Autoflowerers are the exception.
You confirmed my point... plants are in pre-flower when they show pistils... I have heard in many cases that if you leave them veg after they are showing pistils.. it can stress the plants and cause hermies... Not a fan of super long veg times... But to each their own! Cheers!
You cant tell sex by preflowers?Quote:

I have never grown an autoflower but according to you, that's pretty much all I've ever grown. That's good to know haha. Before you throw out words like never and impossible, I suggest you do a little reading or actually grow a plant or two.Quote:

Have you ever kept a mother plant? I've heard of people keeping mothers for years. Man those must be some stressed out plants haha. Where do you come up with this stuff? I seriously hope you didn't read it here and just made it up to argue. When you finish your first grow let us know how it turns out.Quote:
