hi!new to the site and to growing.i have a couple of questions.my plants are about 2 weeks old and are about 4 inches tall.i have 2 each in containers 4 inches deep and 6 inches wide.they are getting about 18 hours of light a day,12 sun,6 artificial.how long before i can tell the sex?how long after i know and get rid of the males should i wait before switching to 12/12?any help would be appreciated,thanks.
What strain are you growing? Can you provide any pics? Where is your grow? etc.. etc.. etc.. When to flower (12/12) is one of those questions that you will get a lot of different answers for.. Probably depends on the size of your growing space..
some plants show sex while still in veg. My bubblegums did, usually the males show sex first , little banana shaped balls and females show a calyx with two hairs coming out
To really indicate sex you must induce flowering and to do that the plant must have 12 HOURS OF CONTINUOUS DARKNESS!!!
i'm not sure of the strain.sedds came from good commercial.i just wondered if ther was like a good rule of thumb to determine when to induce flowering?and my understanding is most plants don't show their sex until flowering stage.is this correct?
so how big should they be to induce flowering?right now they are about 7 inches tall with 5 nodes apiece.
you can induce flowering whenever you'd like...obviously the longer you leave it the more you will yield, seeing as the plant itself will be larger.
