I know this is maybe on average, but on two of my plants the female came out the same time as the male. Maybe because of different strains?

Did you have them on 12/12? I'm talking about preflowers in veg. not in flower. If you grow a male and a female in 18/6 until preflowering.. the male will preflower well before the female. PREflowering.. is the stage before "Flowering"...12/12 just forces this onto the plant. If you have them both in 12/12 then they'll obviously.. both flower at the same time.

once you put a plant into 12/12 it starts to the flowering process.. this is why going back to 18/6 after you've gone to 12/12 is a BAD idea.

I bow to your knowledge base and ask that you send me those steaks in your avatar!!!!

my are still in veg...im going for maxium height...which my growroom is approx 7' at its highest point sice the ceiling is on a slant(walk in closet) i think my are PREflowering as you said bobbong but i havnt put mine in 12/12...i think i'll let them grow for another month or 2 so i can get a higher yield if its possible...i've alrdeady 8 possible bud sites but really hard to say what the sex is at the moment

In this case Ze, you will know probably for sure what the sex of the plant is before you actually put it into 12/12. 12/12 only forces the flowering when the plant isn't developed enough to flower on its own. If you veg a plant for long enough, it will start to flower eventually.. on its own.
The reason i say you'll probably know the sex of the plant before you put her in 12/12 is because if it IS male.. then in the next 2 weeks you will see clusters of balls forming. If there's no clusters...it's a girl

there is only 2-4 preflowers now on each node there are no clusters yet just one on each side of the main stem so im stil optimistic of ding being a female...i'll keep you posted as time goes on:D

hey people...im afraid im the bearer of bad news! Ding is a MALE!! :eek: :( man this is such a bummer jus taking close look right a the growing top and what do i see....cluseter of three preflower bunched up on each side of the main stem...jus to clarify this ive included a pic of em so you can see for yourself and clarify the sex...so much for the bet! :rolleyes:

I dunno what to do with myself....my first grow and all be a shame to see Ding go...an empty place...i'd feel so lonely lol is there actually anything you can do with males other than for breeding purposes...if possible and if anyone would like the pollen from Ding (ak-48) id be happy to hang on to him and get ding to flower for your cross-breeding porposes!

SHIT.

Should have named him Cock and Sucker.

Lets forget DING and move on to Bat and hope for the best.

ooo i just remembered i had 4 plants altogether..ive been lloking after them but not as much as Ding and bat!!! ive put my next strongest plant into a bubbler...looks like a dwarf compared to her hopefully big sis Bat!! she suffered a lil nute burn a few weeks back but she is started to growing again rather slowly and speeding up! i'll av few pics of the new girl later on....I still dunno what tdo with Ding... i wldnt feel right killing! lol

Is there actually any use for males besides breeding?

Im reli confused about ding lately...theres only a clusters of balls at the growing top but looking further down on the plant ive only noticed like single pods and all what appers to be like really fine leaves! sooo very puzzling but im also not she if Ding is completely a HE but a hermie!? just be safe i've brung ding outta ma grow room and into my room for the time being until i figure out what to do with this puzzling plant! d the hairs on a female preflower stay inside the pod until its introduced into 12/12 or will they come out over time??

Please help me on the puzzling problem and i will be most greatful!:)

Well.. poo... i guess ya can't be right all the time.. just half right most of the time? That's a damn shame about the nuts...damn shame indeed...

it could be a he/she , could be just male.. either way, those nuts are obvious.
