They won't show sex until they are mature. So switching and switching back gives you no information if the plants aren't mature enough. Just keep an eye on them for pre-sex.I've never grown regs, but now have a bunch that were gifted to me.
SO, can I flip them at maybe 2 weeks veg, and then flip them back to veg 2 weeks later (or whenever they show female pistils)?
Downsides? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Why would you bother to do a flip if they demonstrated sexual maturity? Further 4 days won't give you the auxin shift you need for sex determination.Easiest way that I've found is grow the plants, clone and lable both clone and mother. Flip the clones and trash the males after sex shows.
I was told told to do a 4 day flip but only after sexual maturity and then toss the males and reveg the rest.
Lots of solutions to an age old issue.
