has my plant started budding?

Is it still a polyploidy plant if it didnt have that formation from seed?. As it got older it developed the polypoidy formation. I have found white hairs on it, about 5 mins ago, what is the least i can hope to get from this plant?.

These are the other two...

ok, i see preflowers, on every bud, but no white hairs, i see a few white hairs coming from behind a couple of calyx's but that is all(they have been there for about 4 days), it has been on 12/12 for almost 2 weeks now, should i be getting worried, do the preflowers mean it is definately female?

if you see preflowers then you can safely determine the sex. its either got pistils or male flowers heres a pick to help

if they are female preflowers then it is definetely female. unless of course there are male flowers as well then it's a hermie.

it is taking ages to show pistils though, is this normal. I really need them to start budding now because they will get too big, and they are only in my back garden(which is tiny). Also i am wondering if it is possible for the plant to revert back to vegetive that quickly?

thanks

what is the light cycle?

at the moment there is 14:47 of light every day, so i am going to put the plants down to 12/12 by moving them inside every night, i think thats the problem i was having :S

thanks

ok, the plants are still alive, still goin good, they are huge now, i put two of them in my loft, under a 250w hps, they are budding and looking good. They are in soil. I live in the UK and feel that it is time to find ferts, whats the best and most common flowering fert to get in and ordinary garden centre?
thanks, alex
