Preflower or flowering?

Octomonkey · Mar 15, 2016

Hi guys.

First outdoor grow. Can anyone tell me if this plant is in flower or is this just preflowers? Only been vegging for two weeks so would really want to veg a few weeks more if possible.

It could very well just be preflowers, but I doubt it after only 2 weeks.

How much sunlight are you getting at the moment.

Im in south africa so days are getting shorter. Gets dark around 6:30 at the mo. I have 3 plants, 6 weeks old and two of them looks like they are budding and they are tiny. They really took long to get going but just the one has rocketed in growth the last 2 weeks. The close up pick is from the smallest plant. Was hoping the large plant would hold off a bit longer. Took them indoors tonight but just have the 1 cfl. Was thinking to run 16/8 split

Yeah id say its flowering if your in sa. Over here the outdoor season is coming to a close, so id say yours is as well

Yah, I am pretty sure you want to maybe set up an indoor grow or start earlier in the 'season'? I don't know...I am just a blundering AMERICAN :dunce:

Are you sure they arent autos? At least you know they are female... if you are going to go inside, you should look into more light, especially if you want all three to flourish..they look good though, just a bit small, but with the right light I am sure they will stretch out some

Yeah in hindsite! Its my first grow so I didnt do proper research before planting. I learned a ton so next grow will be a lot better!

They are fem seeds. Bubble bomb is the large plant and the other two is amnesia haze and lemon garlic og. I have a bag seed as well thats a bit older. It also looks like its flowering but I cant see white hairs coming from the pistils. Can you tell from the pic if its female? It doesnt look like there are balls forming but no white hairs.

I would keep a close eye on that one...keep the axe ready for hacking, just in case. The good news is that males usually show quicker than females. So you still have a good shot.

Good Luck and Great Growz

Take a look here...

Now take a look at the first and third nodes of your plant...see what I see?

Looks more like the male judging from the pic. What do you see on those nodes?

Does it look like balls on those nodes to you?

quite possible...so again keep a close eye on it. Pollen sacs mature and can pop VERY quickly.

I think its defo a male. Let me know if you agree before I cut it. Thanks for the advice so far.

Hey, hmmmm...1st please do not take mine or anyone else's opinion or advice and just run with it. Especially when it could mean killing one of your babies. While IMHO this plant is very likely a gentleman. There will likely be differing opinions out there. Bottom line only you can see anything first hand, and a cannabis plant is a terrible thing to waste. There are a TON of pics and charts available on the www to assist you.

Second, I try to the best of my ability to never give 'advice' on a grow. I will state my opinion and perhaps post a chart and helpful link or two.. I feel that all of the necessary info is available to firmly nail down on anything related to cultivation...

Anyone can come in RIU and give what they say are absolute facts on a variety of subjects...but unless you are 100% sure on your own you should always do your own research. Personally, I would not sit around with a pair of clippers ready to hack a plant based on another's opinion. Just sayin'

Now 'on the other hand'...not to play devil's advocate, this plant is from bagseed and the others were paid for feminized...IF this were MY grow I would likely chop it instead of risking the others. But again this is YOUR plant.

Thanks for that. I've decided to chop it based on all the evidence. Here is another pic and I think its clearly a male and you're right bout not risking the ones I paid good money for.
