first grow plant problem

If you have at least 4 nodes, you can flower. You'll want 6 nodes to be safe. Depending on the strain, the plants will show sex anywhere from 4 days to as long as 2 weeks. Some strains will show sex in preflowering stage too. Good luck.

So this means I could flower to early and end up with nothing to show for all my hard work

I don't know if you'll end up with "nothing" but your yield won't be as much as if you let the plant reach maturity. Many on here flower plants as short as 6". If your stem is a good thickness and the root system is well established you'll still get bud, just not as much.

Just been upstairs and checked my plants nice thick stems loads of nodes about 15" to 17" tall ready to be sexed as well ,they smell great to!!!!!!

Sexing seems to be the hard part I will take some pictures and post them

Wham, based on your last post, I'd say you should flower them. I also thought sexing would be difficult but trust me, it isn't. You'll be able to tell quite quickly the males from the females. Even if you are unsure, you have time - the males tend to show their sex first and you have a good couple weeks between when they first show until they are actually ready to release pollen. You'll know way before then if they are male.

Post some pics of your babies so we can see.

Thanks for that just put my big bulb on them and turned my timer down to 12/12 hope all goes well will deal with the sexing later, will take some pictures over weekend and post them

As you can see my plants or getting bigger still got some probs with some leaves though

foilage spraying is tuff to get right..I see a spray bottle..is this what your doing?? remember water acts as a magnifier..this can scorch your leafs..over nute can clog your pours
