All males??

[SAP420]

Anyone ever had a problem with getting all male plants? I have four and there are no pistils. They have been on 12/12 for almost a full week now and I do see the flowering growth but no pistils on any of them. This is the first time that I have had no pistils, I always assumed that typically 50% of what you grow will be male plants but last grow I had only 2 plants growing and they were both females. This time I believe I have all males.

Setup:
4 waterfarm systems
400 watt hps light
3x3 hydrohut mini
elf filter with 170 cfm fan

a little more info might help - like 12/12 from seed, clone or what?
total age of plants. a little to vage for me.:wtf:

They are approximately 5 weeks old and I waited till they were 14" tall before changing to 12/12 and I never start seedlings at 12/12 cuz I want plenty of bud sites. they are from seed btw.

honestly just need to know if possible to end up with all males?

Ok a good rule of thumb is it can take anywhere from 7 -21 days before you actually see any real sign of pistles(hairs) and sometimes just a bit longer for the pollen sacs to show just be patient, don't jump the gun, Mother Nature is at work.:stoned:

yeah it is just that my last batch showed pistils in like 3 days but then again I did let those veg for waaaay too long and they were like 3 feet tall when I switched them to bloom which might explain why they sexed faster I guess... I will post some pics in a little while

There you go, sex comes with maturity.:stoned:

so, a420seeker, is it possible to have all males? or should I have at least 1 female in that group?

Anything is Possible Yet Most Likely,Unlikely

Time will tell IMO I have had plants show sacs sooner then pistols.. So if you are not seeing any signs of sacks you are in good shape.. I had to sex a few plants a month ago. Out of 6 I was lucky enough to get 50/50. My Last sexing took 2 weeks on day 11 me and a buddy checked them and I thought for sure #6 was a male and #3 was a female... I was wrong it was the opposite it showed on day 15....

I fucked up though I killed #6 and kept #3. I made over 100 clones in a EZ.. THANK GOD I checked them the next day and seen I made a huge mistake... I could not keep any 3 More Hrs of Cutting :jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile: Fucking to Stonned @ the time... LOL

Being that we are only human and not Gods, now way of being sure either way, just be patient man you have a 50/50 shot either way, believe me man I know how you are feeling I had 15 plants all germ at the same time 2 different bag seed, 7 from 1 and 8 from another I have 3 showing sex (F) and 1 I light poisoned to herm and feminize a seed crop for future experiments I needed some smoke so I pulled 4 of the plants to dry and smoke the rest are fine but still not showing sex as of yet and I'm past the 21 day mark as of 3 days ago and still no sign so I'm kind of in the same boat.:stoned:
