Flowering question

[TheBongMan]

What is a good way to help my plant start flowering? Sry if this is asked a lot but the search doesn't give me a lot of options, maybe I just suck at it.

Also, is there any sure or at least good way to tell if a plant is male before it grows the sacs and has a chance at pollinating my precious females.

make sure it gets at least 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness each day. Also, had you read any of the grow guides or done even a remote amount of research, you would not have had to ask this question.

Yes. Flower it. As soon as you see male pollen sacs beginning to develop, get rid of it.

Males are obvious before they are ready to pollinate, so don't worry. But once a boy is obvious don't dilly-dally, rip the brute out.

I looked at the grow term dictionary thing after I posted this, that cleared a lot of it up, I should have looked at the stickys before making this.
