Thanks mate, that was just enough info to let me do it.
On another subject, I'm worried about the sex of your plants. You say they've been showing preflowers but not sexed yet? You can tell from the pre-flowers themselves. If no hairs, theyre male, sorry.
But I'm going without pics on this one so could be wrong, fingers crossed.

Yea GMT I vegged for like 3 and a half weeks and been on 12 12 for over a week. It does look like they are all males. The big one I am quite sure of seems to have clusters now. The trifolate I was hopeful of but also I think is a male. oh well. Time to germ some more seeds.

even if you only get 1 female plant this time, you can still produce a good bit of smoke...
just check out Bleek's first grow with Lifesaver.
congratulations!!! now let them be..

Oh yea I did take some pics. Just of the male I chopped though Ill post em tomorrow. Ill get pics of the other two as soon as I am 100% sure of sex. All I really ever hoped for was 1 female as long as I dont have to start all over from seed again Ill be very happy.
Hey doob, I made the sreen out of 3/8 inch square strips of wood from homedepot. They did crack a lil when I screwed them together so If you go that route try using the 1/2 inch. I used screw eyes every 2 inches with string thread through for the grid.

Ok the trifolate is definately a female. the other one im 75% sure. It better be female cause I spent alot of time training the girls in the past couple days. Yesturday I set them one some old vhs tapes to raise them about an inch and a half. good thing too cause I transplanted them into 10 inch pots today so I lost about 2-3 inches. I had to set the screen on em then train them under it. Hope they dont stretch too too much. It should be interesting to see how well they fill the screen on my first try. Here are some pics
First 3 are the male who is dead now.
Group shots of the girls
finally pics of them under the screen
Ahhh - those are coming along nicely now. I'm sure you're happy. Looking even at these pics I would say you are safe to assume that second one is defintely a female. How long have then been on 12/12 again? Mine are still stretching a bit, but it has slowed down a lot at day 17. More focus on site production now. Gonna even the canopy off maybe next Wed once I am sure everything is set for the most part. Dont forget to trim your fan leaves back to get the most light to the lower bud sites. Tucking them is only temporary, they usually pop right back up in an hour or so.
Thanks Gmt.
Hey Msteelers. Yeah its gotta be a female, I woulda seen balls by now. Im glad I kept that trifolate, it was a runt ya know. Lokks like its gonna pick up soon. Ive been on 12/12 for exactly 2 weeks. There are so many bud sites comming in its crazy. How much foilage is it safe to remove in a day, I was trying to avoid cutting off fan leaves but its a jungle in there.
Since it took so long to see preflowers when do I know when flowering has officially started. I was gonna mark tomorrow as the first official day. And yea im very happy, A lil worried about overfilling the screen now but oh well all I can do is wait.

You can remove a good bit, it won't effect the growth in any negative way. I believe I have read you can remove up to 60% of a plants mass without any problems. If you weren't doing scrog - it wouldnt be necessary. The object here is to get as much light to the budsites as possible. They will grow back fast, you'll be surprised how quickly. Perhaps some of the leaves are only partially blocking the budsites, in that case - just trim part of it off. Maybe a finger or two if that does the trick. It sounds like you already got the concept of training down. A good goal for the first time would be one bud per opening of your screen.
Flowering officially starts when you cut the light back to 12/12. So you have been flowering for 14 days now already. Any breeder who lists the flowering time is going by the day the lights are cut back. Buds will set in quickly and get bigger fast, you should be able to see it happen overnight almost. I dont think you are going to see too much more stretching, being at 2 weeks already. I think that will be almost non existent at around week 3, considering you are growing some indicas.
Good luck - MS

Hey thanks for the info and advice. im gonna trim them some tonight before I goto bed. I may take clones and build my veg chamber this weekend. I read somewhere where BOG said that after switching to 12/12 they veg for a week then start flowering and thats after sex has been determined. I sure would like to believe that they are on day 14 of flower though. Maybe they are. I think the screen will be full after another week of stretching. Should fill in nicely I think. Still cant believe I ended up with two females after killing two.
