man all i did was buy 12 one gallon pots miracle gro soil with 3 month feeding in it... seeds soaked in superthrive and water.. for 24 hrs.. the wet towel germination.. one third soil, one third perlite, one third vacumelite.. planted and grown out doors the whole time.... i dont under stand why there sexing them selfs if ive done nothing but let them set in a pot an gro.
i dont know whats going on... not all my plants are doing this... just four, two show balls, two pistil... i never tried to make them flower... the only thing i can think of is that i cover the tent in towels to block out car lights and remove them in the morning... im bug free... :thumbsup:
Hello All.
So your growning em, eu naturel? What time of year is it where you are? Do you get loads of lovely bright sunshine like I'm imagining? (stuffy bleeder:-) ) if so does that window screen block the light badly? I wouldn't expect em to stretch like that under a proper currant bun, (unlike the poxy excuse for a sun/summer we fuckin seem to get these days).
Unless there was a big queue of beasties, stood there lining up to scran fuck out of the plants, I'de get them out in the direct sun, that window stuff could be blocking out some of the valuable light.
Also you may be better going through a series of succesively larger pots, that could help with the stretching.
Do you know what breed they are, like are they a lanky tropical sativa or summat?
Also, unless your coming into your autumn, and your getting 12 hour nights they won't be showing any sighns of sex at all, so you could still have some females there.
But if you are already there and they are starting to flower you've really started a bit late. Maybe get em indoors under some lights, amd make sure you get some cuttings going ready for next year, a shade earlier.

hey martian can i continue to grow my females with sexed to early, flowered to early, but show signs of being female because of the pistils with no balls... can i let it grow to clone before the lollipop appears?
i have four with pistils showing like all other females no balls just those with pistils... clone them... b4 they produce lollipops that way i wont have to start from seed again? ill have just females right. cloned females right
Hi Folks.
Yes absolutely, but if you've already gone to 12 hour nights where you are, and they have started to flower the cuttings you take will be a bit harder to do and they will need to go under some lights on for around 18 hours, so that they revert back itno veg growth again.
B ut to be honest, the amount of plant there is a the moment, if you start taking cuttings there will be nothing left to flower.

Hi All.
Yeh, anything over 12 really, but I personally don't like the 24 hour on scheme, at most I run 22/2, for cuttings, because I'm sure I've read that they metabolise slightly differently and make different chemicals/hormones/compounds under lights out, and in the natural habitat they never would get 24 hours light, so I like to give even cuttings a little "rest".
Under vegging I run 20/4 or 19/5.
Any flouro's will be OK, but I'd use 3 to 1 or 2 to 1 ratio of blue/cool/veg to red/warm/flower.
If your only doing a couple, those small 20 watters will be OK, but as they grow you will need more light.
Normal flourescent tubes will be OK too, get 3 or 4, 2 3 or 4 footers, and mount them to a board, or under a shelf, (much better if you can adjust hight easily though), you want them as close as posible.
I have one for cuttings, two cool tubes, one warm, 3 footers, mounted on a board, and this is fine for cuttings, and a few "bonsia" mothers.
Good luck.
See Ya

It's not gonna work outdoors man... You'd need to plant them as early as April...if you're planning on doing it outdoors.
Martian has got it right... Move indoors and give them longer days, hopefully they survive the transition... good luck.
Hello Folks.
Do you intend doing the cuttings, for going under lights to flower, then OK, but if your intending them for next season, for outside again, I'd just leave these and flower them, and get some more seeds in, in time for next season, becuase in that case you've plenty time.
Ta`Ta.
