So this is my first grow, 125 w CLF w/ over head reflector and 2 26w CFL w/ reflectors on the sides. Anxious just to see if this first one is a female, I began flowering 9 days ago, which was approx 3-4 weeks from germination. I've read that sex usually shows within the first week of flowering, but on day 9 there are NO signs of sex what-so-ever. Now there were 2 days when i had turned my lights on 2 hours late (fucking mechanical timer) but they went off at the exact same time every night. I wouldn't think this would cause much stress, seeing as they only got 10/14 for 2 days. Input?
well the lights probablly just slowed it down. and i have heard it taking 2 weeks to show sex. it takes longer the smaller the plant usually. like a big plant. 3 months in veg will show fast like 3 days. just wait it out.
How many nodes are there? If you had it vegging on 24 hours, I believe it would take longer to show as well. I think it'd be time to worry if there's no signs by 2 weeks, probably a light leak.
6 Nodes, and there is zero light leak i've already checked. It was on 24/0 veg cycle. Now my 125w is a 6500k Veg light, and the two 24w are 2700k. I was wondering if the high blue spectrum would cause it to to stay in vegetative state? It's all just a waiting game i've learned
