No, Preflowers ARE the way to determine sex. I've found it takes about a month and a half under 18/6 from seed to show sex on most of the strains I'm growing.

I actually KEPT a male for breeding purposes, and he started OPENING pollen sacks in my VEGE room!!!! Which believe it or not pollenated one of my mothers resulting in a viable seed! Not quite the way I wanted to do it..... nor a cross I was wanting to do, but it happened none the less! :hippy:


Be patient with your plant, OR take a cutting, and root it in your flowering room. I've never liked using a light cycle to root clones, (always done 24-0 for rooting) But it's supposed to work just the same. By the time it's rooted it'll be showing 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:) There's a Rating: 5
