Keeping my "mother" in veg but how to figure out sex?
I want to keep this as a "mother plant" and keep it for taking cuttings butttt
im as to what I know I won't get nearly as much of a yield with the clone as compared to the seed right? And if I keep the plant 18/6 (on/off) would it start to bud? How would I figure out the sex of it if it is still in veg? (Has been in veg for about 5 weeks and have transplanted to a larger pot. Also I don't think the stems coming off the main stem is big enough for me to take a cutting yet:wtf

put the mother into flower for about 2 weeks, let it show you it's sex, then turn lights back to flower. Takes about 3 weeks total, no clones, no damage, easy peasy.

Keeping my "mother" in veg but how to figure out sex?
But I have read "playing around with the lights" can stress the plant.
Would taking a clone be my only option?
Do I just take a fresh razor blade, cut the stem (clone), trim the end at 45 degree angle, put in water? or soil? and then 12/12 light?
Can someone just confrim the ending of what I THINK is supposed to be done?...the part with question marks and maybe confirm the rest
THANKS! :jointsmile:

Take a cutting and flower the cutting to tell sex.. That way you won't have to bring the mama back from flower.

Wow...not to hate, but ever heard of preflowers? Inducing flower to check for sex is completely unnecessary and retarded. Google "cannabis preflowers"...you should find what your looking for...

I've always taken cuttings from favored strains so I've always seen preflowers as the clones are genetically mature, but I'm curious too...
If you left a plant (from seed) in veg for a long period of time, wouldn't it show preflowers at some point?
