sexing

[thegr33ngoblin]

I am trying to sex my girls its been two weeks almost at 12/12 and they are not giving me any hints. What am I doing wrong

Could be a couple of things..

Firstly, were the plants mature before you initiated flowering? If not, they will grow until they reach that point, then flower.

Secondly, are there any light leaks? A light leak could prevent your plants from flowering.

Well, those are the possibilities that jump out to me. Good luck.

they should start showing in the next few days if they were sexually mature when you started flowering them

Even if mature at flipping, it could still take another 2 weeks depending on strain. Go to Costco and buy a big box of patience. That or learn how to wait faster.

so it's been fourteen days???? sounds like you have a couple of girls (unless there are no light leaks and you have not interrupted the dark period at any point. the female plants take longer to show their sex than males.

Mr Bojangels..
Some one told me to go 12/12 from seed to sex, and then reveg the females to "save" time...
This sounded to me like like a hermie waiting to happen....
especially if the plants still need to mature... What do you think??? Thanks PAX

I've actually run a few plants 12/12 from seed, but I can't comment on if it can make a herm-prone strain go off or if the revegging can trigger those traits. No trouble in my limited experience though.

Here's a Cheese plant grown 12/12 from seed that has begun to flower to give an idea of how big they get before they start flowering:


I'm currently running some widowrella 12/12 from seed, and they are about the same size as the Cheese, though not nearly as bushy.

So yea they put on some size before flowering.

As for the idea of doing 12/12 from seed and then re-vegging, well I don't think that is the best way to go unless you need some smoke asap. Even then, I'd recommend throwing like 3 in 12/12 and doing the rest of your seeds normally.

Vegging them out till you can cut a couple of clones will only add a few weeks to the process, and I actually had to trash a plant i planned to re-veg recently because it was getting mold at its "wounds." Re-vegging is just a pain to be avoided if possible and imo should be reserved as a last resort when you've got to keep a plant around and the clones are gone.

I started flowering my White Widow plants on 11-23 and only yesterday did the last plants show. the veg time was 3 weeks. I have the crappiest box(s) around so it should be any day now. I also wonder if your plants are sativa. I've had a hard time flowering sativa plants indoors. Pretty soon you'll now what plants you have.
