Hey, I'm looking for some answers on whats going on with my plants. I have 5 white-widow plants vegging under 14 6500k 23watt CFL's on 18-6 light. I'm guessing im about 75 days into Veg and they are looking great, about 12-16 inches tall, bushy as hell, and a node every 1/2 inch, but my star plant started showing signs of sexing 5 days ago and my fears came true - she was a he...fuck! Now the rest, which were about a week behind are now showing signs of sex, although too early to tell on the 4 remaining. I am wondering if theres anything to do because I wanted to Veg as long as possible to increase my yield, I'm doing a very tight closet grow in a 1 bed apt....Is this just nature taking its course and I should get them into Flowering or can I put them into 24-0 or what??? Any info will help as long as you know what youre talking about, thanks

I'm at work right now so I don't have any pics, I have pics of them under my albums but their really young. They are prolly more like 16-20 inches but they are BUSHY and FULL of nodes. I would say they are wider than they are tall and I love it cause I only have a small closet and I hate those lanky lookin things people post on here...I think i have one somewhat recent pic ill post in a min... So is it still too late to clone, i have one clone from each that are rooting as we speak , i was going to use them to determine sex, but they are doing that themselves...

I would leave at 18/6, the preflowers are a sign of maturity. You can still veg if you want. You said nice tight nodes, How many? Is height an issue? Remember they will be 2-3 times taller when done..

idk, a lot of nodes, for a first grow i am very happy with the quality, heighth wont be an issue for flowering cause i have a storage closet on my balcony that prolly 6ft. by 6 ft. and 9 ft. tall, but Im in CO. and I was waiting till it got warmer out before I stuck them out there cause its still getting into the 40's and 50's at night...

I'm still not sure if their if the 4 remaining are male or female, so will these pre-flowers tell me the sex too, like the first plant that I had to cut down? is this an easy way to sex?

ya, i got that, my concern is with the pre-flowering, if i keep them vegging while they are pre-flowering will the females just pre-flower or will they start to bud or is pre-flowering and budding the same thing?
