Plants Sexing

[tristynhawk]

Ok i have grown outdoors for years and i know how to sex plant's but this is my first year growing purchased seeds i have bought female seeds of multiple strains Aurora indica, kaya gold,Northern lights and swiss cheese.
My question is this. today i visited some i put out about 3 weeks ago they are around 3 feet tall and showing female usually my plants won't sex until mid july towards the end of july is this normal behavior for female seeds.

sounds like u cultivatin some autoflower seeds....

 

[overclocker]

3 foot tall auto in 3 weeks? I think its more likely to be earley pre flowers. And yes pre flowers are normal but usually take a month but that depends on strain.

 

[tristynhawk]

they are not three weeks old they just been outside three weeks and they aren't auto's

Do you know how long your days and nights are ?

you can put your info in here and find out

Im not quite sure but i believe if you have under 14hrs of daylight then theirs enough in the night cycle to still flower

that happened to me before ,

i had some growing indoors then in april after the threat of frost i put them out and they started flowering cuz it was still to early

im not saying this is your case though

hell it might just be the strain your growing , just shows sex early

 

[tristynhawk]

maybe it's the strain i hope so

i wasn't sure if female seeds showed their sex early or something

they are pretty much full sun all day

as for the exact time i dunno i checked like 2 weeks ago and we were getting 13 hrs 45 mins. daylight time steadily getting longer

i checked like 2 weeks ago and we were getting 13 hrs 45 mins. daylight time steadily getting longer

That`s it right their

it is still just a little early and they had enough dark cycle to start to flower

but they will revert and start veggin again now that the days are getting longer

That N.l i have flowering in my cab is one of the ones i put out early also lol

shes almost done now

 

[tristynhawk]

What gets me is i always plant beginning of may and have never had this problem before. Well i'm not calling it a problem yet just different

Only difference this year i can think of is the female seeds plus i started these earlier than usual so my plants were older when put out.

i dunno if this would of caused it though but i got out 73 females as of right now and don't want them to all start flowering yet.

maybe its the shit weather weve had? not enough sunshine? i dunno

 

[tristynhawk]

weather has been shit but it's coming round down my way little warm but much needed sunshine.

As long as they don't start budding im fine with them showing me a little hair...lol

It's just pre flowers, it has nothing to do with the light cycle.

Yeah, canna can typicaly show sex as early as 4-6 weeks. Around about the 5-6 node some indicva strains will show...males usualy first then females following. You can expect it by the time the nodes start to diverge ( not come in paralell to each other)
