If you want to flower your plant, the lights must be on for 12 hours and then off for 12 hours. Once you start this cycle, it will take a few weeks before you can determine the sex. It will take at least 2 months of the 12/12 cycle before it is ready to harvest.

Not sure if this is entirely true. The plant can have anything under 12 hours of light to flower it doesnt have to have exactly 12/12. Sometimes Outdoor grows get less than 6 hours light a day. Peace

fall hours are only 12/12 for a day or so then it gets to be 11:59/12:01, 11:58/12:02, 11:57/12:03......

I never said anything other than 12/12 wouldn't work. Where in my post did i use the word "exactly"? 12/12 is the standard indoor flowering light cycle, so are you saying i gave him misinformation? :roll:

Edit: Besides, why would you want to give your plant less light. That would only produce a low yield.

12/12 is correct light cycle for indoor flowering and sex should show within a week to 10 days of 12/12 light

Glad I seen this you guys just reminded me aboout my timer.
Ok changed the timer back to 12/12.
I went from 18/6 for 3 1/2 weeks of veg and once they got to 12" I switched to 13/11. It took 7 ds to determine the sex for my 1st grow with the help of the preflower pics in growfaq.

I could tell after a week. Look for white hairs coming out from the top of the main shoots or in-between where the branches meet.
