No sex yet?!

[thurak]

Well its been about a week now since i started force flowering and all is going well as far as plant growth but it hasnt showed any sex yet. If i remember correctly it takes only a couple days for it to show its sex right? Ive been doing over 12 hours of darkness a day and usually around 8 hours of sunlight daily. I was told that more darkness and less light was ok so thats waht ive been doing. Am i wrong about sexing only taking a few days? Could something else be the problem or does all sound well. I can post some new pics if neccessary. :rasta:

So,your giving it 20 hours of light? Not a 12/12 cycle? 12 light,12 dark?

Give it 12/12 light.You will be able to tell the sex in a few days.Not sure if they are stressed? I would assume.You say growth is fine.Just put the lights up 3 more hours and don't be movin'em around.Just keep them under the light.

Holla!

I take it outside i dont use cfls. It never gets more than 12 hours of sunlight daily.

What do you do with it in tha dark period?

u proly have a light leak in what ever u keep um in in the dark period.
once it goes dart, they cant get more light than a pale moon or they will get stressed and not show

It can take up to 3 weeks to show sex, but more common is 2 weeks.

The plant measures the time of uninteruppted darkness which realises the flowering hormone, so make sure there are no light leaks.

and do what GaGrown said about 12/12. Once your into flowering, you can give them 14 dark and 10 light, but id wait untill 4 weeks into flowering.

My guess is a light leak in the dark period.
Or it's a sativa.

[thurak]

k cool its only been 1 1/2 weeks, and i know theres no light leak so i guess ill just have to wait and see.

[GaGrown]

jdogs probably right,bout the sativa.I knew for a fact that mine were female! So I hade no worries.It did however, take more than the average, indica or afgahn to flower! 18 to 24 hours of light is the veg stage and 12/12 flower!These gurls of mine are 3 weeks into flower and are looking SUPER!
