STINKY I NEED HELP WHERE R U?

Ok...cloning....gotcha. Then you're stuck.....Stinky was right....as always. :)

Southern African varieties often flower with as little as 8 or 9 hours of darkness/15 to 16 hours of light. Other 3oth latitude varieties including most indicas flower when the darkness cycle lasts a minimum of 9 to 10 hours. Jamaican and some Southeast Asian varieties will trigger at 11 hours of darkness and ripen during September or October. Equatorial varieties trigger at 12 hours or more of darkness.

Sounds fine, don't need 100% dark. Maybe more like 87.658.

That's the most people who don't wait for preflowers do....go to 12/12, wait and see which are males, then get rid of them.

Ps...I'd be pretty careful tossng that Reverse around on everything. The directions are very specific and I woud follow them if I were you. The DM penetrator doesn't do anything by itself.....it's to add to things.

yea i was talking about when they were still to young to flower i wanted to know how soon i could tell without waiting for the 12/12 cycle

ok update after 3 days into flowering sum are startin to show so far i see 3 fems but i do have a ? theres ones i see that have the lil pods like the fems do but no hairs??and i noticed that say u look at where the node and the branch meet the ones that don't have hairs have a pod in the front of the node and one in the back of the node if u were looking at it str8 on u would see a lil round pod looking thing in the front then a new set of leafs and then a lil pod on the back side of that but the ones that do have hairs showing only has the one pod with hairs so is it safe to say that the ones that are starting to show 2 pods on 1 node would be male??there not clumped together but i do see 2 per node on the ones that don't have hairs i mean the one with hairs i can barely see the hairs so it's really small so would it be safe to wait a lil longer to see if hairs form or should i pluck the ones with 2 pods??

pod, no hairs, tiny stalk= male.
It's great that you got such a high % of females! Nice.
Pluck the ones wiht pods as soon as you see the little stalk under them. That's the SURE sign of a male.

oh p.s the ones that are showing hairs are 2 good seeds i bought 1 ice 1 crystal and then 1 bag seed and all the other ones that have the 2 pods are all bag seed
