Its hard to see in those pictures dude. Can u get a shot closer of the nodes by the stem. I though i saw some pistels there in one picture, but not sure. You do have new brand locations starting but its hard to see the pistels. And for your harvesting question. You should start to see some sexing/budding in the next few weeks. Where are you growing? Due to the fact they are outdoor its all by lighting right? So depending on how long ur days/nights are is when budding will occur lol. Im not familiar with ur strain, but check out some specs if u are interested in the plants budding/sexing times.

i see stipules(sp?) but i dont see any pistils there in the pictures, i beleve you if you say you see them, but you still have a while to go. id expect to harvest late sept, mid-late oct.

did you have feminized seeds or start from a clone?

its getting to be the flower time of the year so every week you should see your preflowers form and then bud blooming more and more each week. these sativas take longer to flower, but you should see it soon

Hi! Damn, didn't think it was possible to grow outside in the UK.

It's difficult to see mate. You'll need to post pics of closer shots of the nodes to say for sure.

You got some Sativas there so they will take longer to finish budding than indica's.

hi im a regular outdoor grower in sth england, believe me you should not be harvesting september, i have to wait for at least mid october, even then im usually harvesting before i really want to, but patience is a virtue, and with any luck an indian summer will arrive, and make us all happy,
nice plants.

If I were you I'd force flower them. Sativa's take ages to flower and the buds might mould, or the first frost could kill the plants - you never know when the first frost is going to be in the UK.

I'm going with Big Bud x Afghani this year, nice yield but relatively short flowering time.

A male preflower looks like a ball on a little stalk, and a female preflower looks like a teardrop shape with 2 white hairs coming out of it. Both types of preflower grow from nodes (where the sidebranches touch the main stem).

Good luck, I hope they're all girls :P

I have to agree. Just not worth taking the chance to let them finish naturally. Look at the sunrise calc, you won't be getting 12+ hours of darkness until the end of September.

now im a bit worried lol, force flowering sounds like the way to go but im not in the right area to be making something to cover them, i will try and relocate them somewhere and build something to blacken them out, do i need to do a 12/12 cycle

just keep faith with mother nature, she wont let you down, for the sake of a couple of weeks, its a loss less aggro than forcing them.

Still cant really tell, not close enough.

Think its still a bit to early to tell mate. Look on about the 7th node. Plants normally show their sex there 1st.
