uhh you might want to know the sex before you flower..google it, if you haven't found it on here yet. As far as chemicals go, I have no idea, all organic over here.

I looked at the newbies questions, and am not sure! THank tho If you could check it out and give me some hints . I am only using soil at this point. Should I steer clear of chemicals ? nutrients?

you should get some organic nutrients, yes...not chemicals which are mostly pesticides. That thread you posted in showed you pictures of what a male/female looks like...unless you show us a picture we have no idea, you have yet to describe what it even looks like. but! here we are. Do you have a hydroponic store by your place? if so you should really check into it..

If they are three months old you should be able to tell, look were the buds grow, do you see 2 hairs ? If so you have a 90% chance it is a female. If you still can't tell you can start them in flower and in two weeks you should be able to tell. Possibly you can break a branch off and stick itin water and go 12/12 and see what it turns out to be, that idea is something I thought of in my head but is yet untested, but when cloning the plants seem to live that way so it should work out fine. Otherwise you can cover a branch for 12/12 until it show signs of sexing.

Is this your first time at sexing ? The first time is always the hardest but after that you will have no problems as it is usually pretty obvious once you know what to look for.

You definitely don't NEED to know the sex before you flower, infact flowering will help you better determine the sex because that is what triggers the sex organs to develop. Id put it into flowering for a week or so before you chop your males to make sure your not killing females.

Here is a PIC of male sex organs about a week or two into flowering.

ya I dont have a problem with males and the sex of your plant is determined by light. I see signs of sex around 6 weeks on an 18/6 schedule.. I still veg for a month and a half after that. I have had 1 male since '05 and it made excellent babies.

Out of everything you've grown you've only had one male in the last 4 years ? How much have you grown ? Am I reading this correctly ?

you are. I don't even buy femenized seeds..I cycle every two weeks, averaging 4lbs. with 9 plants. I'll take someones good clones but I usually aquire seeds from a nice person with extra ;-) I have a few stored in pill jars and don't treat them special, they just sit on the shelf until that two weeks is up.
