Ok so yesterday was day 13 of flower and none of my 3 plants had shown sex i had one 250 watt multi spectrum light on 3 small plants and have just added two moe 2700k light to the room 1x20watt 1x11watt. My lights will be coming on in a couple of hours so hopefully i will see some hairs but if not what do i do? 2 weeks flower and no sex indication how can i help them along what can i do? help!!!!
Long flowering
- Thread starter weedman01
- Start date
I've heard some claims of products that will speed up flowering but I'm skeptical. I've waited for over 3 weeks for some pure Sativas to bloom. I suspect you'll see something in the next couple of days.

just an fyi - it is not day 13 of flower if they haven't shown sex yet. its is day 13 since you changed the lights to 12/12 but not day 13 of flower. if you look at it that way you'll be trying to harvest them 2 weeks early. "day 1 of flowering" is the fist day the plant actually shows you its flower. there is no way to rush them along just take comfort in the fact that males generally show sex first so you may have 3 females there. good luck to you.

Cheers for the quick responses.
P.s do you think my lights will be sufficient for the whole grow? they went 12/12 after 10 days of veg

Is that a fact?
If so my 2nd grow are about 6 weeks into the flowering process, not 9
My second grow was thrown into 12/12 after 3 weeks of veg, and didn't show sex until about 3 weeks after
So is that true bud?

If that is true, my second grow which i believed were 9 weeks in to the flowering stage are actually 6 weeks in
They were vegged for 3 weeks and thrown into 12/12, and didnt show sex until about 3 weeks after
Is that a fact bud?

if you email your seed company they will tell you the time listed for each strain for flowering is from the first sign of flower. when you put your plants into a 12/12 schedule at 3 weeks old they hadn't yet reached sexual maturity. they can't be "in flower" if they aren't mature enough to reproduce yet. IMO you should use the number of days or weeks in flower as a guide only but yes you should count that time from the first sign of flower not from the very begining of 12/12.
