it is pretty common to take clones (carefully labeled) from all your plants. Then when you switch the main grow room to 12/12 you'll know which clones are from females and which are from males.

plants look great. one note about switching to 12/12 ... it is far better to wait to switch to 12/12 until after the plant preflowers since yield will be greater. BUT - plants at least double in size (sativas seem to never stop growing) most plants triple in size after switching to 12/12 so you have to compromise if you have limited vertical grow space.
also - there is no height requirement. If the stem is strong enough to hold massive buds it doesn't matter if it is 3 inches tall or 30 inches tall. The number of nodes (at least 7 oris more important than height and the ability for the plant to hold large buds is most important of all (in my opinion).
Ok..........welllll i think i'm just wait till Shorty is about 10-11" i think by then i'll at least know the sex of two of them if not all three. So atleast seven nodes and I'll be good. If they do get to big in veg i'll LST.. thank email

It's all coming along nicely Blazin'
Something that might reassure you is that my two biggest plants were female, in fact my two males, one is the smallest of ten plants and the other is tall but not very bushy.
I read someone's comment that plants will not show their sex until you start flowering. That is a general rule but there are several strains that do.
I had 4 females and 2 males all show before I started flowering.
So far i have 6 females and 2 males and 2 more that have not shown yet.
I have a 'feeling' one is male and one female.
One (I think/hope is a female) is a sativa (bagseed) I still have that one in veg so may not know for a while what sex it is. the other has been in 12/12 for a few days so I will hopefully know soon.
Sorry for the long post. puff puff......pass,

to clarify - all marijuana plants will pre-flower (revealing sex) during vegetative state if left to grow long enough. most of us indoor growers do not have the space to allow the plants to grow to full height so we are forced to flower early. So most indoor growers have to switch to 12/12 to determine sex... make sense?

Thanks BM. I'm really happy with the improvement! I would like to know before flowering if its a m/f. I think if i wait for the little one to get to 10-11 in I should know what Droopy is. I probably will start 36 hrs of darkness on Sun. at 8am. Shorty is growing decent and is about 8" so the others may end up being 14" & 12".........oh well!
BM you are more than welcome to take a whole page to yourself! Mi diario es su diario!
PUFF PUFF.......PASS!!!
These are getting pretty defined growths where the calyx will be. I'm just impatient and want some hairs to burst through! lol
They are almost 40 days i think. I'll go back in the Journal and figure it out later. I'm glad your tuned in Email468!
I know that shit is crazy! I don't think i'll be growing horse cock bud like you though!!! LOL Jesus those are nice colas sir! I figure if the tallest plant is 12-14 inches, i should be ok. I'm confident i could handle 4ft plants in my cab with no space issues. 4 1/2 is the max though.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

Thats sweet!!! 30in! Mine are about half that wide......i cant wait until flowering!
You know, this has been one of the biggest test of my patience ever!!!!!! And i'm ADHD and really not that patient.....i want that instant gratification. Growing has chilled me out though! So maybe i can get away with saying i'm only ADD?

I get butterflies in my stomach thinking about it!!
Everytime i look in my cab i think 3 things
1: holy shit i can't believe i'm doing well growing this shit!
2: I can't wait to have them look like your guys'
3: WHY THE SHIT DID I WASTE SO MUCH MONEY BUYING THIS SHIT!!!
It's really making me more introspective about a lot of things. It's pretty cool!
