Tell me about my girls

congrats! it looks like you have some female pre-flowers! it is not uncommon for cannabis plants to show pre-flowers while vegging. from what i have read it starts to happen about the time the plant hits six nodes or so.

so leaving them in veg won't cause you any problems.

hope this helps!

headshake Reviewed by headshake on 02-16-2009. Tell me about my girls Hi all, I've got four plants two of which are doing rather poorly.... see more about that here, any help appreciated. The other two however are doing great and are showing their sexiness ( i see white hairs coming from the calyx's). But i haven't switched to 12/12 yet (there are still on 19/5).. so my questions are: Do I run the risk of going hermie if I don't switch them to 12/12 now (the other 2 aren't ready)? What are the effects of holding off on 12/12 for a week (increased/decreased Rating: 5

preflowers, even autoflowers show them, but even if it is an autoflower, you dont run a risk of "hermyfying" if you dont go 12/12, people who use autoflowers never switch to 12/12, they keep it on 18/6,20/4 or 24/0, and normal plants u can vegetate to any age, before u flip

ok, cool. I had thought that pre-flowers were just the start of the flowering cycle.. I'll just keep on vegging, til I can fix the other 2 that have problems... I really wish I knew what strains I have.....

Thanks all!

ha! I seen the hairs in almost every picture, it took me three grows to sex early like that but now that I think of it its easy I feel stupid for having a plant grow on like week two of flower and still asking if its shown sex... lol looks ready to flip you got pre-flowers and alternating nodes so if your other plants are following suit go for 12/12

Flipped yesterday. They spent their first night in the dark. Any idea how long before I'll see and development? I know I'm due for 8 weeks, but how long before things get exciting?

you should more than likely see pistols anywhere between a week to two weeks. The first 40% of its flowering phase it will stretch and the last 60% of flowering it will spend fattening up! Somebody gave me this resource and now I'm going to pass it down to YOU!

as far as a plants growth during flower, which is strain dependent, but your ladies can grow anywhere from 1/2 to 2/3 in size. you can read some about it here.

hope this helps.
