[GrowinGreen23]

i was talking to a guy that i know use to grow some bud a while ago and i showed him some pics of what i had and was describing them....all in all he said that even though they are smaller i can chnage the light cycle now to about 5/19 and that will show me if they are males or not a few days in then i can take out the males and chnage the cycle back to 18/6 is this true? he also mentioned that i could actually start to bud my plants now...knowing that i won't get a ton from them but it is possible....does he speak the truth?

As I remember the Grow Bible said something about a sure fire way to sex them is to cut off an end or bud and put it in water in the dark for 12 hours and in a day, maybe two its suppose to show it's sex very clearly. I haven't ever done it because I hate to cut off a good part of a plant that odds are it's a female... Just my 2 cents worth.

id just wait til you start flowering then watch close so plant dosn't get confused by light changes

ok thanks for the info guys, lets say someone did try this out will the chnage in the light cycle effect the plant that much? and i'm running a month in so i have at least another two months or more till i start to flower correct? even if i want to keep my plants small?

Clone for sex it works 100% of the time and you can keep the plants in veg with no stress to them.

i have a few picks of them under another post idk how to bring a link to that post over here but the one is about -8 inches and the next largest is about 5 inches the last one is too small and won't get there for a little while idk why they are so diggerent in height i mean they were all planted aroudn the same time. Also shoul di seperate them now and replant them in seperate pots only asking because they have about 4-5 inches space inbetween them.

Thanks ,
also how do i clone them to find the sex??

Clone the plant and once the roots are showing on the clone you can switch the light cycle to 12/12. In about 7-10 day's you will know the sex.
