lately there have been a lot of threads about sexing... however, i still have a question...


in almost all the posts, everyone seems to agree upon about a 2 - 10 day period to show sex. well, ive had mine on a 12/12 cycle for almost 2 weeks now, and out of the 4 i have, only one is showing sex... a male unfortunately. but the rest still dont look like either male or female... should i just keep waiting or give it up?

the seeds all came from the same weed... so, im gonna assume they are all the same strand...


the male... i guess he was taller than the others, but not more than an inch...


ill try to get some pictures up soon, but they'll prolly be shitty camera fone ones.

I don't know where you've read 2-10 days, but if you asked me how many days to show sex in flowering, I would say more like 12-24. So yes, wait.

It all depends on the total flowering time, and if you have a strain that takes 14 weeks to mature, it can stretch for more than 30 days before showing sex. And even if you pull 20 seeds out of a small bag, you may get 20 different strains.

I love how your #'s are more real world.


14 weeks sound bad but usually when it takes forever to mature it will be some bad ass weed. Most the stronger strains take forever. Im learning a lot trying to grow 6 soon to be 8 strains. I got a hook up on some buble gum and nyc deisel clones. Anyways its hard to harvest cause nothing is ready at the same time.

Back on topic... Your plants not flowering is a good sign. Females take longer than males to show sex. So more than likely the rest will prolly be females. Hopefully. Make sure that no light is getting in the grow space ever when the lights are off. You can hurry them along by turning the lights off an extended period of time like the above post but when I did it, it seemd like they went into a shock and werent really the same from then on
