Hi there, newb here, (6 years with partner, 2 years solo, so bear with me) I've come across a curious situation and would appreciate any opinions/advice.
I have 8 plants from a friends seeds(a heinz 57 strain, *widow, cinderella 99, northern lights* x *purple kush and island sweet skunk*) and they are currently around 8 weeks old.
6 of the 8 are either not showing gender or just showing tiny claws or calyxes at the nodes--pretty standard stuff from my (somewhat limited)experiance.
However, there are two that are clearly displaying their gender--rather like what I'm used to seeing a few weeks into flower. One is a distinct male with clustered seed pods and one is female with with rather large calyxes and mature, browning pistils at the nodes.
What might could be going on here? Is this normal or could it be the light schedule? I usually start my seedlings on 18 hours of light and 6 hours of dark but I couldn't spare my timer at the time so they ended up under 24 hours of light. (LED veg light)
Just some background info, I received these seeds (already germinated) rather unexpectedly just before a large harvest so I wasnt able to put as much time and attention into them as I normally would. They were normal seeds, not feminised nor autoflower. Humidity sits around 50% temps ranging between 22°C and 28°C. Room is well ventilated. Plants are in soil and receiving 'veg nutes' bi weekly, and other than a minor nitrogen deficiency early on have been otherwise problem free and growing well. All are from the same 'mother.'
Half were topped around there 4th or 5th node, half were not. The more 'mature' ones were both topped.
Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
