7 days into flowering and no signs of sex?

2nd Grow
I have 2 plants and both of them arent showing signs of flowering. it has been one week and its about to start day 8.
bagseed

These plants are 31 days old. i started to flower them at day 24.
For Flowering:
i have 2 42 watt 2700k bulbs
3 23 watt 2700k bulbs
3 13 watt 2700k bulbs
1 105 watt6500k bulb
it is set at 12/12. I used 18/6 for veg.
unknown soil with a little higher in nitrogen. may need some phosphorus.

Plant 1- I topped it like 3-4 times its really bushy and im just gonna let it grow now.
THe roots are very long compared to plant 2 but it is shorter.

Plant 2- was topped once. it is taller but not as bushy.


When do you usually see signs of flowering? is this normal?

I have another thread for my plant here.

I wouldn't worry to much, some take longer than others to show. I'm on day 11 of 12/12 without any signs, I had 2 males show after 5 days.. They usually show first so hopefully you will be lucky enough to get a girl or two!

The one on the far right looks female. Can you take some pictures of nodes closer to the top of the plant? I can't tell from the 3rd pic, too low.

same here. my last plant was a male in 5 days. i guess thats just an unlucky number. i guess its better that they take longer.

yeah i will take new pics right now. be back in 20

new pics for flowering

pics 1, 2, and 5 are the plant on the right and 3,4 is the plant on the left

It could be too early to tell. I'd like to say the plant on the left is female but there a few things making me suspicious about the plants.


Let them keep going for sure. Good luck brother! grab some seeds online or some clones from a club if you want to ensure females.

yeah i saw that. it doesnt looks like the 3 balls i got on my first male. its just a tiny spec.

You switched to flowering too early, they were not ready. The flowering process should kick in within 2-3 days max if you allow the plant to become mature before beginning flowering. Wait till your plants start alternating nodes and show preflowers before starting the flowering cycle, doing it before then is a waste of time that could of been spent getting bigger and finishing maturing.to try to force it to mature with only 12 hrs a day of energy compared to if you left it in veg till it was ready where it gets full vegging hrs(more light=more energy of course and more energy= more growth ) each day to grow and mature with doesnt make sense.

Running about 300 watts on those two plants you should have let them get bigger, unless you are confined by space. I feel bad for any plant that only gets to grow for 24 days before flowering. Certain strains will show sex quicker than others, & as someone said males will show sex quicker than females. I believe the plant pictured in # 1, 2 & 5 is male, # 3 & 4 is female. It's super early to tell for sure though. Come back & post pics in 3-5 days & we'll know for sure. Good luck.

Took my white widow and white castle almost 2 weeks b4 they truely showed sex. Males showed first for me.

Mine took like 13-14 days until I was 100% sure on the sex.

Everything I have in my current grow showed sex within 10 days time.

ok thanks. and i swithced them over to 12/12 when i saw them start to alternate nodes. i am limited on space so thats why i did it early. i heard u can start flowering when ever you want. this does not need to be the most perfect plant in the world. i have time issues that i need to go by.
