Thanks BWD. with my last plant I started flowering before it even got it's 1st or 2nd node because I wasn't really sure on what I was doing. Just alternating cycles which would of definitely could of stressed it. But then I got all the flowering cycle figured out with him so I'll be prepared this time around. Just hopin for a female this time. I'm only using seeds from my bags. If I keep getting males I'll buy feminized seeds off the net. and try an auto flower.
