i have some questions. about pre flowers and tring to "seX" a plant.

if you dont allow enough time or sexual maturity (showing sex naturally during veg) am i shorting my end product and the very genetics i am pursuing? do i not give them enough time? does showing sex naturally during veg growth mean it is ready for flowering?

edit: super high. please advise!

It isn't something you get to allow. Sexually immature plants wont produce sexual characteristics. If the plant exhibits sexual characteristics it's sexually mature.

Very good detailed picture

so youre saying that whether i veg my plants for 2 months or two weeks. the end result would be the same.

[budman678]

is this correct, once again i am elevated ;-)

the plant will be the same, but youll harvest much more with the older plant!

How early can I check for sex? My plants are under 1 month old and all vegging. They are all supposed to be feminised but I want to make sure to gain the experience.

you can start looking whenever you like. I see preflowers in 4-6 weeks of veg

im pre sexing my plants at the min on 18/6 , one thing id say is look at the overall picture !! and be 100% before you chop , on some the females there were small round male like preflowers with little stems but the other preflowers were saying female , im doing mine with the naked eye btw , but the males show no female preflowers there all round or claw like the males are easy they scream male but you get females that can trick you so if in doubt wait untile you get the hairs

thanks FReezerBoy for this great explanation. but im still not sure, since im a new grower still developing my skills at determining the sex. but i have this lady which im not sure on. can anyone help me out? hopefully these pictures help. i am also on week 2 of 12/12, i dont want to risk it being a male and pollinating my cab.


Stay fligh
