female?

[willyjack420]

are those little pre flowers? plant is into its sixth week of life.

cheers

 

[willyjack420]

that cant be...cervantes bible says they show preflowers 6-8 weeks of life...

 

[Pliskin095]

then why are you asking if you already know the answer lol

Again pic 1 female - Pistillate preflowers are located at the node between the stipule and emerging branch.

Pic 2 male - Staminate flowers are located at the node between the stipule and emerging branch. Note the clusters of flowers.

 

[willyjack420]

I asked if there were pre flowers on the plants. I explained that they are said to show in 6-8 weeks, not that I knew whether or not they were pre flowers.

 

[Pliskin095]

They should appear here when the branches have developed.

 

[willyjack420]

Don't branches develop at beginning of growth? And in the picture, the top circles, you see the little pistol like looking things there? those aren't pistols? looks like 2 little hairs.

 

[Pliskin095]

well then you've answered your own question lol yes they are preflower

 

[willyjack420]

can i get a second opinon on this? most of my plants have these and that would just be too lucky.

 

[matias2911]

Ive heard those thingys appear on both male/female, i think you should wait a week or two in order to spot preflowers, have you turned to 12/12 yet>?

 

[willyjack420]

no 12/12 yet just 24/0

 

[Air]

100% for sure those are not preflowers, sorry.

 

[bigbudeddie]

I dont entirely agree with Air. There is still a possibility that it is female. Thats my opinion anyway, you wont know for sure until you start the 12/12 cycle.

Peace

 

[ThE sAtIvA hIgH]

sorry cant see any pre flowers on there ,just new growth .you will know for sure soon enough theres no mistaking fully developed male or female flowers .

Ya there is a possibility it is a female, I never said there wasnt I did say those arnt preflowers though as he thinks and was asking if they were. When you see preflowers they will be behind those green spikes and will with be a stout with a egg shaped ball on the end or a pistil with 2 white hairs coming out of it.

why u still using 24, shouldnt you use 18/6 or 16.8

 

[willyjack420]

yeah i switched to 18/6 few days ago...i read in cervantes horticulture bible that there is no diminishing return with 24/0 and just increases vegetation, also read a length description about it in high times. Anyways, I think 18/6 is healthier.

 

[growtosmoke831]

Those "thingies" do show up on both male and female the preflowers will develop right next to it Pliskin was right they do apear right in those circles

 

[growtosmoke831]

P.S. those "thingies" are called leaf spurs

 

[growtosmoke831]

or Stipule

Hey Wlliejack I run a 24 hour photoperiod all the time with things getting bigger everytime and more lights and overall wattage comming into the picture my energy usage is a growing concern if i dropped back to a 18/6 photoperiod do I have to make sure they arnt getting light from another light source during the 6 hours off or can I move them in front of a window to mabbey get some light
