any body know what could be goin on with my plant? its atleast 4 and 1/2 months old and there are no visible signs of gender. is this odd?
 
what is your lighting schedule are you running it under 12/12 for flower or are you still on vegging time
 
if your light isn't on 12/12 you shouldn't see sex... ever... unless you are growing lowryder or the likes.
 
It doesn't matter with the light cycle as much as the maturity of the plant. It will show in 12/12 as it will in 24/0 once it is mature you will see preflowers. 4 and a half months is odd, but was it stressed because that will slow up the growth. I usually see gender after the 6th node.
 
ha the post above me but any way pic and more info on how youve been tending to the plant would help out all lot
 
the plants really healthy. ive just been training it about every two weeks or so. its not under any dark period and it will be in veg probably for another month and a half.
 
my camera wont focus up close...but you can tell from this pic there are no preflowers.

There's your problem then jj. You answered your own question. :rolleyes:
 
:yeahthat: man if your on a 24/0 it will only vegg. if your trying to flower it you need to have the lights set to the 12/12 so the plant thinks that the seasons are changing and its going to be time to finish up.
 
Per our resident canine (Mutt):

Must tell him to quit hacking it up

its stunting his growth.

only trim 1/3 plant mass then let recover for a week

LST if he wants it bushy

WOOF, thanks Mutt!

i had a clone that never showed any preflowers till it was back under 12/12 light and i think that if a plant thats only ever been under 24/0 light wont be able to show pre flowers (unless its a lowrider) because that is a plant function that happens in the dark time, more flower growth in the dark time than in the light. light times are when the plant makes the food that feeds the flowers dark time is when it feeds the flowers. if im remebering all that i have read right.
 
It seems in this thread that a plant won't show preflowers 24/0? That seems odd. Please reword for me. My understanding with lowrider is that it will go into flowering no matter the light cycle unlike most other strains. A night time of under 12 hours (approx) will keep your plant in veg with preflowers no buddage.
If you put your plant in 12/12 it will force itself to show you gender

It will but not until it has reached a good height and has metabolized to the point of preflowering.

A Low rider is the only strain that will auto flower under any light these plants are the only ones that do strain is more of a Rudiallis plant that originates from the Soviet States.

right

it will start to preflower faster under the 12/12 light schedule takes about a week or 2 for good signs of sexing.

remember different things for different strains too some will just grow more slowly and do things when they are ready too
 
sorry, i read the title of this thread and thought you were talking about my marriage

liee... i vegged my seed till mature enough to sex. Why are you all saying its impossible?. 12/12 will force.
jj- your doing somthing wrong. 5 months and tiny. something isnt right.
 
So if you have your light schedule on 24/0 they wont show preflowering?
