acidphiend Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 hi guys! I've been growing this plant for about 4 months now. It hasn't always received as much water as it shouldv'e and it got a bit shocked when I transplanted it, also this is my first attempt so I know it's nothing special. I've had it on 12/12 (putting it in a light proof shed, actually sometimes more than 12 dark hours) for about a week now, and still no sign of flowering. Also, I've been feeding it bloom booster every day, about 1/2 strength, and it receives full sunlight for its light period. My big question is, can anyone tell me if its male or female?? I've read a lot of posts and other websites on the topic, but I cant for the life of me figure it out for myself. There's no balls hanging off it, but I don't think its even started flowering yet, so would I still be able to tell? I don't know what strain it is either, it was given to me as a seedling by a neighbour and they weren't sure either. Please if anyone can help me that'd be great - I dunno if the closeup pic I took is any good or not. Also, are there any suggestions on how I might help it flower? I'm only new to the site but I've learned a shitload in the coupla days I've been reading around (about 40 hours worth!). Thanks for any help, and for having such a great resource of info! Cheers!

TUGBOAT Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Mmmmm ... can't really tell from the pic ... resolution is a bit fuzzy that close up ... would need to see closer up directly where a branch joins the main stem. Some strains take longer than others to turn. Anybody else able to pick it ?? Tugboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Yeah, I can't tell either, try using a magnifying glass in front of the camera lens, and yeah, get a shot of the nodes side on... (where the branch comes out from the main trunk and has a leaf... there should be a preflower there if it's sexing...) Is it in soil or hydro? I couldn't make it out from this?

AussieToka Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 I cant see any signs of sex, but it looks like a nice sativa dom strain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieToka Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Awesome, that should show some nice flowers when it starts flowering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidphiend Posted December 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 how long does a sativa normally take to flower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipeman Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 sativas can take longer to show sex than indicas, so its not surprising it hasn't shown yet. At 4 months old it should be showing preflowers though. It doesn't matter, it will all become clear before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
