Yeah I've got some pics of them.
But to be honest I'm not sure I can see much, however I may be able to see a cluster of balls forming on the oldest one, others can give their oppinion but if that was a male it would not surprise me, but the other two are just not showing IMO.

Pic 1 Plant 1 etc:

Well in the first pic...you are rite, that looks like a male...but don't kill it, wait a few days to be sure....in the other pix i can't really see the section where the pre-flowers appear...

Hey Jerry! That old thread about you looking for a place to smoke in the rain with an apple got reopened last night and someone said you had not posted since.. I was scratching my head thinking.. I could have swore I was talking to Jerry in some thread the other day... and here it is! yay for stoners, huh?

Cheers zeb. :bowsdown:


OK mel, now I scratching my head!
The oldest plant is 42 days old, so that is exactly six weeks and it/they are still not showing me what sex they are.

Finz, genetics can vary greatly... especially if we are growing different strains. What it your strain?

I wouldn't worry about it though. They will eventually show sex, and probably soon.

Your plants are doing extremely well in my opinion for only having 57 watts of CFL at the beginning, not to mention running 12/12. Mine never even got as big as yours are now.

Usually a sign of maturity is alternating nodes. Hopefully soon after you will see glorious white pistils everywhere.

Just remember, 12/12 from seed is an entirely different animal, and one that many are skeptical of. I know you will be patient and diligent and show everyone here that a good harvest is possible even using 12/12 even not dialed in.

I couldn't do it my first 12/12 grow, but the force is strong with this one

keep in touch

peace

Thanks for the detailed reply mel.

Yes the oldest and biggest looks male, I have looked at it under daylight and it's a cluster of balls all right, but I need to free up some space so one needs to go at one point. I will also have a good bet that the other two are fems, they smell stronger also IMO.

Strain is seedsman top skunk 44.

G'day stoners, boys and girls. :rasta:

Sketchy situation is that I am pretty sure I can see tiny little white hairs popping out of some of the buds, they are roughly 1/4 of a MM currently so I guess that puts a twist to the saga. :thumbsup:

..and a very unflattering pic of the bud box today. You can see how cramped it is all getting and the logistics are proving awkward if not kind of fun.

cheers and all have a good 'un.

looks like you have horizontal space, keep LST going during the strech period.

[melodious fellow]

Looking nice! are you switching to flowering soon, or staying in veg for a while for those little seedlings in the pic?

After thinking a few minutes. I think you entering the strech phase.

So fasten your seatbelt's this is going to be a bumppy ride

I would continue to LST With string and weights to take full advantage of the horizontal space. You will more than likely have to prune and top during this phase just to keep things under control even though it is not recommended in the flowering phase.

I think if you make it thru the next 3 weeks you are in the clear growth wise.

BOL JG.

I hear ya there!

They have been on 12/12 all their life, the little seedlings are habanero chilies, they love the warmth and glow of the bud box too. :thumbsup:
