Plant Showing Sex Already, Why?

I just found out one of my month old aurora indica plants is female:mrgreen:. Thats all good and all but Im still in veg! Havent changed the light schedule, Im still 18/6 under 600w MH! The other AI plants arent showing sex, they are the same age but a little slower growing than this one. Why am I seeing these lady parts? Is it normal for AI to do this? Im pretty sure its not an auto flower strain.

Im happy its a girl but I wanted to veg for at least another 2 weeks or untill each plant had 2 nice clones to take before flowering. Could this be just a case of a plant showing sex early but still vegging? This has never happened to me before so Im confused. All plants in the past didnt show sex till 12/12, and thats taking most my plants to the 6-8 veg mark.

Can someone please enlighten me?

looks good, keep letting it veg, it is prob just showing early signs of sex, i doubt it is a autoflowering strain. But this is a great sign, now you know its a female, dont have to aim in the dark wondering if you are wasting nutes, water, soil, time.

what i would do is just wait to start fowering her in 12/12... keep it at 18/6 to get HER(yay!) nice and even more bigger for more buds and to start some new bigger clones...Congrats on your new girl!!

what kind of strain is it? Some strains auto-flowering or not will flower earlier than the rest of them as it is normal..nothing to worry about...just keep doing everything your doing for about another week or two and then start her in the flowering process

GOOD LUCK!! hope this helps a little bit...

This strain is Aurora Indica. I def want to take some good size clones before I go 12/12. Today I noticed some preflowers on the other 2, looks like they are male but Ill wait a few more days to make sure. Which isnt bad, I started with 3 seeds so I figured I would hopefully get at least one female. Now Im just hoping I get the same or better results with my 3 ICE plants.

So what are we concluding here? The Aurora Indica is a strain that shows sex early? This would be the first strain like that Ive grown. I will just keep the 18/6 for another 2 weeks as originally planned. Well see what happens.

If anyone is interested in following the grow of these 2 strains (as well as some flowering bagseed plants) check out my grow journal.

many strains will show sex early. I just had two males show balls under 24/0 and they were less than a foot tall. i'ts just preflowers man....you can veg them as long as you want...THEY ARE NOT FLOWERING YET....so if you want clones just keep things at 24/0 or 18/6 and you will be fine...she will just keep on growin for you man. :mrgreen:

Was yours aurora indica? If so, where did you get the seeds?
