alternating nodes are a sign that the plant has reached sexual maturity and is ready for flower. you should see the nodes start to "stairstep" at maybe 7 - 8 nodes up. Looking at your pic I *think* I spotted alternating nodes. Your plants should start to display their sex within a week or so, with the males showing first. I can help you with identification if you want but you have to show extreme closeups in the node areas. Once you have eliminated the males, you might want to consider cutting clones of the females so that you'll have plants already growing for the next grow, and they will already be identified as female (of course you'll have to put these new clones in another room, on a 24/0 or 18/6 cycle..and make sure no light from the veg area is shining into the flower area). Expect these plants you have flowering to grow up to 3 times the height when they entered flower..have you changed to flowing nutes yet? BTW your plants look really good.

dboy Reviewed by dboy on . I think I might be over my head. Hi there everyone. This is my first grow and I have read a lot of peoples threads on this subject. But now I am starting to get worried about my next step and how to go about it. I have a flood and drain system, which is set to flood my plants every 4 hours just long enough to fill the system,, which is 3 minutes,, then it drains. I am useing Botanicare Power Plant & Botan Pure Blend for veggie state. And for flowering I have Botan Power Flower. I am not sure when to start into my flower Rating: 5
