I don’t veg for long periods except for the rare occasion that i flower a mother.
Clones get 2 weeks veg (after rooting), feminized seed 4-5 weeks and i flip them, with photo period i flip them really young 10/14 days, yeild isn’t my primary concern i intend to clone them and grow them properly the next time around, that said I’ve had some better results from extremely short veg in comparison to some with 4-5 weeks.
I also count the 1st 3-4 weeks 12-12 as vegging.
After the plant grows a few weeks above the 4th and 5th node Males tend to grow branches directly opposite on the stalk like a cross. Females seem to grow branches stutter stacked. Males tend to be the tall fast growers but not every time.
All 5 plants showed preflowers 4 confirmed with hairs showing the 5 th did not confirm but I was sooo sure it was a she , well guess what , she became a he and took a walk on the wild side lol
Right to the trash bin
I wait till I see hairs before I choose any longer
I remember posting this when I had decided that both of my NL1 x Kali Mist freebies were girls. So optimistic!
So I up-pot them, get them situated in the big show tent, flip to 12/12, get them fed. Come back the next day and I swear, just full on raging boy parts all over the place. I am the opposite of a savant chicken sexer; I literally pick worse than 50/50 coin flip odds.
I’ve noticed that, too. It’s so frustrating when you have a really vigorous grower that gets larger than the others in less time, only to turn out male. On the other hand, large, vigorous and fast-growing males make good studs.
Looks female to me… wide base, getting narrower at the top. Males have a narrow base and the flower expands outward at the end of the stalk. Still not all that well developed though, I wouldn’t be 100% certain until seeing pistils. I’ve been fooled before, this looked like a nice female to me too.
