5 months and no signs of sex!

[Dubbaman]

liee... i vegged my seed till mature enough to sex. Why are you all saying its impossible?. 12/12 will force.

no one has said that it is impossible, and no one has said that it wont show preflowers on its own when its ready, and noone is saying that its impossible to force flower thats what all of us do, take a break from the pipe, and reread the thread.

jj- your doing somthing wrong. 5 months and tiny. something isnt right.

this much i can agree on and i think i know what it is it looked like in that pic that you have topped your plant a few times this is HST (high stress training) and it will take more time for your plant to recover from that and this will slow down growth till it does recover. that plant looks to be about a foot or so so it really y should be ready to flower when ever you want to just put the lights on the 12/12 and then in a week or so you'll know.

So if you have your light schedule on 24/0 they wont show preflowering?

it will once its to that point in its life but things like the HST that you have done will cause set backs till the plant has recovered from the shock. flowering is done more in nighttime hours than in daytime and with a lack of a dark time preflowering will take longer to show up. this is why most use a combination of light and dark in the day.if your wanting to find its gender jsut go with the 12/12 for a week or so and youll see what it is.

thanks dub...your a real pro man! exactly the answers i was looking for. awesome. but i think we should clear up this "could be" myth that the indoor grow bible says. " wait atleast two months to flower or wait untill preflowers appear." so....do all strains show preflowers under 24 light?? heres some pics. peace!

NO it wont you can change from the 24/0 to 18/6 anytime during vegging and there will be no adverse effects.

ive read that a plant is really ready to be sexed at 1 foot of growth so in effect you dont have to wait for pre flowering. you can let it get to 1 ft or 2 months vegging is all up to the grower if you want to flower at 6 inches go for it, it may take the plant a bit longer to finish up but it will. IMO i would wait for the plant to be 2 months along in growth or 2 ft, this is the time i put mine in for flower.I personallygo with the 2 ft because i dont want an 8 ft monster in a 7ft grow area,and with the flowering streach it can double or triple in height during the flower. :bong:

and judging by them pics man id say that you can switch to 12/12/ any time and start seeing sex in about a week or so MOJO on it comeing out a Female and for the whole flower.
