So it's now day 21 of flowering and finally plant 2 (the smaller one) has started to flower and is female.

Plant 1 is a monster and has about 50 cm so about 20 inches, besides it's branching like crazy. But on the other hand still no sex, but normally males flower early so if plant 2 took this long and is female, plant 1 should be too.

Thanks, its been fun till here but now you start to really see the rewards for taking care of theses plants. Now that I have seen the time it took just to start flowering I know its gonna be a long ride, but hopefully the reward will be even better.

I had to take plant 2 (the smallest) from the grow space because plant 1 (the tallest) is getting pretty tall and very bushy. So plant 2 will be grown on the window sill with sunlight. I flushed them both today, I just put then in the bathtub and poured like 3 liters of water through each plant. They look allot stronger since the flush, they had allot of nutes in the soil, the water that came out of the pots was green like the fertilizer I use. Within the next couple of days im gonna buy a fertilizer for flowering, what i have used so far is 6-4-6 so im gonna try and get a lowest-lower-highest for flowering.

Almost forgot, plant 1 still hasn't shown sex which is very weird, it's been 26 days since 12-12 change... Theres something growing where the pistils will grow but it just seems more focused on foliage growth.

That`s crazy update with some pics when you can . It must have alot of sativa in it if it`s going that long and not showing sex my males ussually show within a few days in most cases so hopefully that is a female since it`s taking forever . I`m growing 12.12 fs now and I sexed a plant from seed in less time than that it`s weird bro never heard of it taking that long indoors check for light leaks maybe . Anyways peace get some pics of the windowsill and the indoor peace .

Today plant 1 the tallest showed sex, and unfortunately its a dude, small balls growing everywhere... Its a real shame because this was the best looking of the two, but no harm done, I still have a female. The male will be kept in the window sill and the female in the grow space, ill chop it before it releases any pollen.
Yes it had light leaks, thats why I changed the night cycle to be at night, this way theres no light to leak in. That change was about a week ago, so its not weird, just light leaking in like you said.

This is the male plant:

The bic lighter is for size comparison. Im going to keep the male just for decoration, it's really nice to wake up, look to the side and see this beautiful plant. Also ill use for testing out ferts or perfecting my LST.

Tomorrow i'll post pictures of the female because shes "sleeping" right now

The female:

All of this light leaks have made the flowering time difficult to count, so i started counting since I first saw flowers on the plant, so its been 10 days flowering.

I topped, FM and pinched 3 branches in the male plant, just to test them because i've only used topping.

I know it is in Italian but it's still fairly easy to comprehend, my question is should I use it or just try to get something with a little more potassium?
