From what I've read between 15-25 days it will begin to show pre flowers. But I'm not sure. I know it'll show sex once you flip the lights to 12/12. After a quick searching I found this...

Should help the both of us out determining the sex of our plants (even though I bought fem seeds).

I'm going to start the flower process Sunday no matter how tall they are. It'll be 3.5 weeks then. Going to put them in 24hr darkness starting Sunday morning then go to 12/12 Monday. Bubble is 6" Sour Cream is still at 4"

Yea, I was thinking I MIGHT hold it off until Monday. Depends on how the Sour Cream is looking. I think I should wait a little longer though. The SC isn't doing the best. Can't wait too long though the Bubblelicious will be huge if I do, and I'd have no room for the both of them.

They often wont show sex before flowering simply cos 9 times out of 10 we are going to flower them when they reach a certain height as oppose to that level of maturity.
Full maturity before flowering will usually be after the 7th or 8th node and take up to a couple of months, often meaning it will get too tall for the average home grower.
I usually flower most plant at 15-18 inches tall indoors depending on how much taller a strain will get in flower. some will double whilst others will treble kinda thing.
There is plenty of time to look for these female parts yet so don't over worry about it. Id say another week or so on those. They probably want potting up about now.

i also have some serious twisting leafes. any idea what could be causing this? its been getting a little worst. i think thats why its so bushy and not spreading out.

I'm not sure what would cause that. The leaves on my sour cream are curling inward. The new leaves on the bubble don't grow straight out they twist but they end up growing correct. I think it's from all the compact growth it's the only direction the can go for a while. Both of my plants are very bushy, although the sour cream is super compact and the nodes are way close to each other, whereas the bubble is a little more spaced out. It's still 6" tall. It'll probably be 7" by Monday. Hopefully the sour will be 6" by then. It's 4.5 now.
napa, what would the pH have to be? slightly too acidic or too alkaline?

no idea what brand mayb General electric. they are 26w 6500k and there equivalent to 100w. hope that helps bro. they were like 7$ for a pack of 2 at walmart. i just bought my 2700k bulbs today for flowering and i got 12 of them 23w for 21$ so that was a steal that was at the depot.

ph is fine 6.8 not bad. its always under 7. i read that fans could cause it but for some reason i doubt that because its not direct pressure on the plant. well i will feed tomorow at full power we will see if that corrects it. i havnt fed it in like 8 days now.
