Okay, cool. Thats what I was thinking. So preflowers aren't a way to determine sex?

I can't solve your problem, Poker2, but I remember being stuck with this question when I first started growing. I just germinated a variety of seeds for my first batch, and placed them into flower (as normal). As soon as the plants showed their sex, I simply took 1/2/3 cuttings off each female plant (with careful considerations) which then became the next batch. This is efficient because the cuttings are sexually mature from when they become established. I still grow this way too!

However, you could change this slightly and, instead of taking cuttings from each female plant you germinate, simply remove one female from flower (once it's shown sex), place it in veg for a week allowing it to recover and use her as your mother plant.

Hope I've helped in some way!

pinkdolphin113 Reviewed by pinkdolphin113 on . 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:) There's a Rating: 5
