Thanks, green217
Pre-flowering varies a little by strain but I think somewhere around the 1 month to 6 week mark is my estimate. Once you flip to 12/12 it can be as soon as a few days or as long as a week to really know.
I'd probably try to maintain that 24" spacing if the temps are where you like them at canopy level. It's gonna get crowded but keep moving them around, top them, and it will work itself out.
Sounds about right. I appreciate it. I'll just have to move'em around like u said till i switch.Pre-flowering varies a little by strain but I think somewhere around the 1 month to 6 week mark is my estimate. Once you flip to 12/12 it can be as soon as a few days or as long as a week to really know.

Never heard of leaving them in the dark for a day or two would get them to show, this works?I usually see preflower by week six of veg. If they still haven't shown and I'm in a pinch and need to know, I will put them in the dark for a day or two. That's only if I intend to flower them out.
It's fine to set them in the dark for a day or two, as long as you are ready to flower them. It can help speed up sexing by a few days.Never heard of leaving them in the dark for a day or two would get them to show, this works?

Six weeks at the latest is when I get antsy in my pantsy. Sativas take a while to trigger sometimes, same with cloning them.gosh 6 weeks? You flowering Sativa or Indica ? I myself just get tired of waiting on those Sativa's & Haze. But damn some of them are just so good.!! View attachment 3125569
I actually have eight Connie Chungs in a dark closet atm. My flower tent isn't ready and I'm on a schedule to have them done well before the 4th of July. So instead of waiting another two days for my tent to be all ready, I started the flowering cycle in the dark. Maybe it's not a good idea with more finicky touchy strains, but I have never had a problem with herms after doing this on any of my grows.

Yes, I have tried it. I wanna do a side by side test someday. Maybe that can be my 'side by side' addition to your threadI hear that.. A good friend had told me about a write up about a fella that would just leave his ladies in total darkness towards the end of his grows.! lol He swear by it increases potency, and also said that the dude said in the write up they turn out alien looking..

Why not just flip it now, "weed" out the males, dispose of carefully. Then replant all females into huge pots, revert to veg, wait another month or so, take some clones, then throw them into flower.
You do risk hermaphrodite if the strain is touchy, but imho, its worth the risk, to know. Track your mothers/clones careful, and the mothers that hermie (if any) dispose of there clones, cause that's one touchy ass bitch.
Not that patient i'm paying top dollar off the street right now for me and ole lady. So one month under the MH is what I'm shooting for, before flipping.Why not just flip it now, "weed" out the males, dispose of carefully.

yeah i'm planning on sticking a male or two under the floroecent I had the seedlings under 12-12, They will give me some pollen like that shouldn't they?I believe he is wanting to pollinate his ladies so he doesn't have to purchase anymore beansI maybe wrong though...
I missed this reading before that you're only 2.5 weeks in. They need at least a month or so to reach maturity before they show sex. I'm sure theres an exception to this, but normally its at least four weeks. If you get impatient after that time you can try my suggestion or Snakes idea was pretty spot on as well. All depends on how long you wana go and how big you want them.Maybe I'll try that in a couple more weeks.
