I dont see any white hairs :(

[vbella90]

My plant is one month old from seed and is starting to flower (did 12/12 cfl lights from seed) but there are no white hairs on the leaves like i see in all the pics of flowering plants :/

any input is appreciated

Sometimes it takes a week or so before hairs start forming. How do you know it's starting to flower with no white hairs visible? Are you sure it's even female?

just keep it mostly dark 12/12 and you will.Never did seed from 12/12, so just give it time.

im pretty sure .. i see buds starting to form, my camera just started being blury so here are pics if u can see

Don't worry, I think I made the same post on my first grow. It's probably not an ideal environment which is why they won't have shown at the 3 week mark people talking about in 12/12 from seed.

My advice would be to stop looking for a week or two. You'll know about it once it starts properly just a game of patience.

How big are they? If they're small too then it's a sign something isn't right.

Ok I see, it's a good size but there doesn't seem to be enough light down at the bottom there. or is that just the camera.

Yyou need to get CFL's close within 3 inches of all the plant not just the top of it.

you need to take a close up of the top that is not blurry. i think what you may have is a male plant and mistaking the pollen sac clusters as buds. I made the same mistake on my first grow and then all the sacs started opeining up into little flowers and i said "Doh!!"

anyways not trying to say it is for a fact a male but some clearer up close pics of the "buds" would help determine if it was a male or not. if you say there is buds and no white hairs im almost 99% sure its a male anyways as a female plant will not form any buds without a white hair coming out.

oh and if you only have room for one plant at a time it might be in your best intrest to head over to a trusted seedbank site and pick up a pack of feminized seeds so you dont run into this issue again .

Buds form after white hairs, so are you sure you are seeing buds forming?

 

[tallen]

Pretty sure it's a male if your not seeing hairs.

 

[tip top toker]

Zooming in, while unclear, it does indeed look more male than female i have to say, which would kinda ring true with the "buds" but no pistils.

im talking about the snowy effect that the leaves get i see white hairs growing that looks like buds but around the buds the leaves dont have any white on them.

better pic?

Get a better pic, bro. I cant see a thing in focus. Neither can anyone else. I tend to agree with the post above mine, through the blur it appears to be tiny clusters of balls. Google male plants and compare.

Edit, we posted at the same time.. You have a male bro.

You're talking about trichomes, not hairs.

They'll start to show more as the buds mature.

That's a male by the way.

 

[TriPurple]

It does look male, you can see clusters starting to form. One small hair is the first thing you'll see, usually about the 6th or 7th node if it's female. That plant been telling you male for about a week or so. Good size for a month old though.

 

[vbella90]

that sucks

 

[tip top toker]

Male or a raging hermie if there are some white hairs as well.

shut off that CFL and get as close to the top of thet plant as you can and take a pic its still really hard to tell 100% but im at 90% sure its a male man sorry for your wasted efforts. can still make some ice water hash!!
