The third pic looks like it could be a girl.... still real early though

If it's still early at what time will I be able to tell. If any are male so I can pull them but now since I started 12/12 I can't veg the ones that are female bigger.

It’s a little hard to tell from the pics but Give them another week and you’ll be able to tell for sure.

In the third pic there is a leaf tip covering what could be a pistil. Yeah come back next week!

Ok i will thanks.
So would i also wait to do a defoliation.How much do i remove to ensure greatness lol....
Is that a mag issue with the yellowing in the leaves if you can see it. i did a feeding of 900-1000 ppm flower mix and she perked up and is liking it.

I defoliate at 28-30 nights in flowering or 1 week after flowering stretch has finished

Cigarette1 · 02-10-2018, 07:00 PM

I got home from work yesterday to see everything doing good so I feed 1 gallon between all 3 and withing 2 hrs had leaves covering tops. Did a light cut of fan leaves that was in the way. Seems like I'm getting 1 inch or so of growth a day for the stretch. Trying to hold out to see which ones are female before updating bulbs to 15w.

Why hold back the lights? Your stalks and branches are getting stronger at this time as well. Stretch is stretch, that's determined by genetics not your lights. Peace

Mainly because my luck is crap. I wa ant to make sure that I have a female or 2 or 3 before spending any more $. U am use to cfl's and with these LED'S being more intense I have time I think to see what I get I just move the lights closer if they need more. My distance is now at 12" I started with them at 18"-24" to get them use to the intensity.
