[poncesurfer420]

my plant is three month old sativa and has been in 12/12 for 13 days and ive been looking for signs of sex w/ my mag. glass but all the nodes just look like they are growing more leaves?
i have it outside it myback yard (no lights) just sun light and the nights are still long
so i thought it would flower HELP!?!?

First things first. That plant needs a bigger pot. It is getting a little too big for it's britches. You're going to have root-bound issues if you don't upsize. One thing I've learned about Sativas, they will flower when they're damn good and ready to flower.

really i just put it in a bigger pot a few days ago i dont wanna stress it to much makin it go from pot to pot....and i didnt want to let it get huge

and should i use more soil or can i use dirt cuz im kinda tight on funds??

ok first off "root bound" is a myth as long as you water it then your fine...... but youll have to water it alot more often. if you can pull the whole plant out of the pot by the stem and the roots hold all the soil in the root ball then transplant into the ground. and as for your flowering issue. how many hours of sun do you get down there atm?

ya hes right ab the watering more often but i personally dnt like watering everyday once it does fill the media up, plus they become rly sensitive to ferts, and yes dirt is fine if ur low on money, is it not too cold where u live for outside?

Actually, it's not a myth. You CAN grow in a small pot but it WILL stunt your plant and reduce your yield significantly. But, I'm not here to argue. If you say there's no such thing as being root bound then so be it.

ok i put it in a bigger pot w/ some mulch and dirt heres some pics of it in the bigger pot
and this is where i put it when its night time so it will bee extra dark till i see it flower

Outdoor takes longer to show flowers, come on 6-8 months from start to finish outdoors

Watch for Frost if it frosts your fuxed permi damage with frost, u need to bring it inside or cover it up at night when the temp is in 30's

starting plants late outdoor sux your beter off moveing her inside and getting some cfls

O.k. from the side the pot looks a LOT bigger. Now you just play the waiting game. I have one plant that is going crazy with flowers and another that's only producing leaf sets and it's getting bigger and bigger. I started 12/12 on the 4th.
