can no one offer any help?

[twoguysupnorth]

its big enough, you could. are there any signs of the sex at the nodes?

[sublimebudsmoker]

i dont really know, could you kinda explain to me where the nodes are? then i could take a pic of em

They are the slightly fatter spot where the leaves grow. In Cannabis, the nodes are where you see the first pre-flowers (translucent WHITE "V"-shaped, thin hairs). There are also some GREEN, thicker protuberances near the nodes- these are NOT pre-flowers. In males, you don't get the hairs- you get flower buds at the nodes. They are football shaped and look nothing like the female's pre-flowers.

Internodes are the stems between the leaves. In males, they tend to be a bit longer than in females, but it is not an accurate way to sex. I play a "guessing game" before the pre-flowers show, using internode spacing- I'm right about 3/4 of the time. Incidentally, females usually take a few days longer than the males to show their sex. So don't get too bummed out when those first few plants tell you they are males- the females are just taking their own sweet time.- Granny:hippy:

i cant really tell so heres a pic or a couple of them to see if you guys could

[twoguysupnorth]

i dont like to chance on pulling the wrong plants either, but your plant looks mature enough to put into flowering. some say they can tell which sex it is there but i cant tell and wouldnt tell you to make a decision on it that way. i tried to guess before too, and got many right but some wrong, so im glad i didnt yank plants based on that. start flowering id say,and do a search on preflowers/preflowering and see if it helps.

im really new to this, well growing, ive been growing the last three years (its only been three times) the last time i had to cut them down because i got word of someone snitching(aint that a bitch?) well anyways, does budding come after flowering?....would it help any if i used superthrive?

[twoguysupnorth]

yes, well budding is flowering really. just that some say that when your plants get to a mature age like what you have they can tell if its male/female before actually budding it(12/12) and save the space for only females. did you get a harvest out of any of your grows? i have only grown outdoors 4 times untill this yr.only one was what id call a good one as far as yeild (mostly do to not taking care of them), but they were all good as far as learning and a little smoke. i just put mine into 12/12 4 days ago at about 2 months old. i dont know anything about superthrive, i try to stay mostly organic except a couple of doses of peters while in the vegative stage. this yr i bought wormcastings for veg and bat guano for flowering and i am trying the molasses thing for the soil and to get fatter/fuller buds. what type of light are you using? i started with a 26 watt cfl and vegged for a month under a 150 hps which is what im using to flower too. ill help if i can, but this is my first time indoors. yeah i got scared and had to rip plants once because a roomie left on bad terms and i wasnt sure how he would react, though he was cool.

They need a much bigger pot
They have not gone alternating yet
Time to repot, then give them a little time, it won't be long.
